Educational Use Disclaimer

 

The material on thehardwork.org and learn.thehardwork.org is for education only; it is not medical advice, legal advice, or a substitute for your own judgment, training and protocols.

• Not medical advice or medical direction. Courses, articles and presentations describe evidence and approaches to the care of agitated patients, restraint, sedation and de-escalation. They do not replace the instructions of your medical director, your agency's protocols, or the standard of care where you practice. Always follow your local protocols and online medical direction.

• Not legal advice. Information about the law is general and may not apply to your jurisdiction or situation. Reading the Sites or taking a course does not create an attorney-client relationship. Expert witness and consulting work is done only under a separate written agreement.

• Evidence changes. Research, guidelines and regulations change. Content reflects the state of knowledge when it was produced, and references are listed so you can check current sources.

• Regulatory acceptance. CE credit, certificates and approvals are accepted or not by your state EMS office, NREMT or employer. Confirm what counts for your renewal before relying on a course.

• Personal views. Opinions expressed are the author's own and do not represent any employer, agency, or professional organization.
