Lyrics
(Verse 1: Scene Safety)
I'm pulling up to the scene, gotta make sure it's clear,
Check the surroundings, ain't no danger near,
Got my gloves and mask, yeah, I’m suiting up tight,
Before I step in, gotta know it’s alright.
(Chorus)
Scene assessment, I’m taking it slow,
Step by step, before I go,
Scene assessment, it's my first move,
Gotta keep it safe, gotta find the groove.
(Verse 2: BSI – Body Substance Isolation)
Now I'm gloved up and ready, keeping germs at bay,
Got my barriers on, it’s the only way,
Safety for the patient, safety for me,
Gotta stay protected, it’s my priority.
(Chorus)
Scene assessment, I’m taking it slow,
Step by step, before I go,
Scene assessment, it's my first move,
Gotta keep it safe, gotta find the groove.
(Verse 3: Number of Patients)
How many out there, how many in need?
One or two, or is it a bigger scene?
Counting heads, got to know the scope,
Before I dive in, gotta know what’s the hope.
(Chorus)
Scene assessment, I’m taking it slow,
Step by step, before I go,
Scene assessment, it's my first move,
Gotta keep it safe, gotta find the groove.
(Verse 4: Mechanism of Injury/Nature of Illness)
What's the story here, what went down?
Was it a crash, or did someone drown?
Looking for clues, what’s the MOI,
Or is it an illness that’s making them cry?
(Chorus)
Scene assessment, I’m taking it slow,
Step by step, before I go,
Scene assessment, it's my first move,
Gotta keep it safe, gotta find the groove.
(Verse 5: Additional Resources Needed)
Do I need some backup, or can I handle this?
Fire, police, or another medic’s assist?
Call it in, if there’s more to see,
Gotta get the right crew, to work with me.
(Chorus)
Scene assessment, I’m taking it slow,
Step by step, before I go,
Scene assessment, it's my first move,
Gotta keep it safe, gotta find the groove.
(Verse 6: C-Spine Considerations)
Last thing to check, is their neck alright?
Any signs of trauma, keeping it tight,
Stabilize that spine, if there’s any doubt,
I’m the EMT, that’s what it’s about!
(Chorus)
Scene assessment, I’m taking it slow,
Step by step, before I go,
Scene assessment, it's my first move,
Gotta keep it safe, gotta find the groove.
