(Wow, this place looks different then when I started here...)
I'm currently training in Minnesota to become a Paramedic. I'm currently an EMT going through my last year of schooling. I got to thinking during my last ride-along shift: My understanding is that in some households, a guest or resident removes his shoes\boots\etc. before entering the rest of the house, and puts on "house slippers", etc. I understand that not all households may follow this, but for those that do:
What is the point at which that's not expected of a guest? Say a family member needs an ambulance, will the responding crew be expected to take precautions, or is it acceptable as it's an emergency situation? Or does it depend completely upon the situation?
