Subject: Ambulance Confidentiality
Hello everyone that is on this mailing list,
Let me know if this is not the correct mailing list to use for this issue. =
I recently learned that when you call campus police at 100 all details from=
that call are reported to the Dean on Call, who is not in any way bound by=
confidentiality. (The list of people a Dean on Call might tell is quite la=
rge, and includes, I think, other Deans on Call, S^3, Dean Humphrey's, Barb=
ara Baker...) So while the EMTs are completely confidential, you can only c=
all the EMTs through campus police. This is pretty upsetting to me, since I=
have generally been told that calling an ambulance is confidential and is =
something I tell others to encourage them to call 100 in an emergency situa=
tion.
I would be pretty upset if S^3 based their decision of what to do with me b=
ecause of on an incident I was involved with when the EMTs were called.
I also recently learned that the Good Samaritan policy only applies to alco=
hol related incidents. I have similar feelings towards this.
I'm not sure if this is an issue the UA wants to pick up, but I would be in=
support of looking into these policies.
