What's the policy regarding relatives of patients riding in the ambulance to the ER with your agency? We let them ride for the most part. Unless they are disruptive to the patient or the crew. Adult patients with adult family ride up front and typically only parents will ride in the back to assist with keeping their kids calm. However, they never ride up front or in the back when responding to the hospital lights and sirens. Too dangerous for the family, they don't need to see any treatments that may traumatize them further and the driver doesn't need the distraction from a hysterical family member while attempting to drive Code 3.
On a light hearted note from the Paramedic Chronicles(check out their other videos, great stuff and I used to work with these guys)-
