When volunteer emergency teams struggle with medical decision-making hierarchy

Our volunteer search and rescue team had a case where our different levels of medical training caused confusion about who should make decisions during the emergency. Now there's tension about hierarchy and competence that we haven't addressed, but it's affecting how we work together.

More people experience this than they realize.
