What can persons in these emergency careers do to build communication skills? Consider this scenario:

Two EMTs are at an accident scene involving just one person. The victim seems able to talk and one EMT is listening to the victim’s explanation. The other EMT wants to address his physical needs immediately. The listening EMT believes the victim’s information is important to how they treat this victim. How should these two EMTs communicate with one another to proceed equitably with this situation?
