To be fair, once during an RN level CCT (staffing was 2 EMT-Bs and a RN) I had my EMT-B partner tell me that I shouldn't hook up the patient to the monitor because I "might shock the patient" through the electrodes. The truly sad part was that he had more EMT-B experience than I had.
I would hope as an EMT getting ready to take her Paramedic test, this was not one of the reasons she wouldn't hook her up to a 3 lead.
