Title: Q for anyone who's worked on 000 / 999 or similar (eg paramedics)
Post by: VladTepes on Monday, 27 June 2022, 01:55 PM
Serious question

What actual wording did you / do you use when collecting information regarding a patient for which an ambulance has been requested?

Aside from approx age, symptoms etc would you ask for the patient's "sex" or would you ask for the patient's "gender"?

I'm not interested in general opinions on what should be used (we are pretty much all on the same page there)  I need to know what term is ACTUALLY used in this scenario.

PM if prefer

Thank you

@Proteous  if you see this mate your answer would be appreciated.

Vlad just don't take their pants or dress off to see  :redcard:  you could still be wrong.

If I was calling for emergency assistance I would say either male or female.

Ilm trying to find the official script because I'm trying to argue that in a medical assessment, how people identify doesn't matter. The people I am arguing with changed it from sex to gender for PC bullshit reasons.
