Fine, “strapped” not “cuffed,” and cops have their own cars, they’d ride those probably in close proximity to your ambulance, thus arriving at a similar enough time to constitute use of the word “accompanied,” which was originally used in the context of “after you drop them off at the hospital where the surgeon from OP’s question works.” So, are they strapped to the gurney, followed by police in the ambulance, then the police accompany them into the building and hospital room? If yes: “Close enough, sorry I used the wrong word for the restraints.”
They aren’t just gonna hand you a fresh murder suspect and say “can you drop him at our place on Tuesday,” he’s restrained somehow and accompanied by someone, unless your area’s emergency services works differently than my area, and every area I’m aware of, from the ground up.
So anyway, you’re a medical professional of sorts, you ever fire a gun? Do you have any idea how easy it is to learn how to handle them properly?
(Btw they’ve rolled out the vests, my buddy is a paramedic and he has em. Only good up to .357 and not stab proof afaik, but it’s something!)
You very, very, seldom ever restrain a patient’s arms because you need to have access to them for vitals and possible IV access - which is why they can’t be handcuffed. The straps go under the arms and across the chest, and legs. And a cop in a squad car trailing behind the ambulance is of small comfort when you are getting assaulted. It takes a good minute plus for everyone to stop and the cop to get into the ambulance. Been there, done that, got some bruises, scratches and cuts on a few occasions. But no tee shirt. Just imagine how many times you could get stabbed in that minute. Nor do all patients come in via ambulances. More than one trauma patient just shows up unannounced in the ER Bay garage.
I own firearms. And I can and have made repair parts for modern and antique weapons from scratch - springs, screws, firing pins, and other such small parts that many people find unobtainable. I most likely understand them better than you do. I apparently understand them well enough to know what you do not - that it’s very easy to think you know something about them without understanding how much you do not know.
I used to shoot in trap leagues when I was younger, firing around 10,000 to 15,000 rounds a year. But I was never talented enough to hit the national shooting stage. I also used to do black powder shooting matches. I did travel to Friendship to compete once long ago. So I might have fired a gun or two over my life. I still hunt to this day, enjoying upland hunting with my dogs and fine fall days in the field with them.
