You failed!
BSI, then scene safe.
I dunno. If I were playing doc on a city street, I'd want to make sure I wasn't the next victim first. Then, I'd want PPE to make sure I wasn't a casualty later. Scene Security trumps PPE in the priority of work. Of course, if I were a provider, lack of PPE would seriously limit the scope of care I'd provide.
Then again, I do my best to avoid having to touch bleeding people, and in most of the training I've been a part of, I'm generally the guy who is lurking in the background to see if I can "motivate" the 68W's to double-check their scene security, generally with some blanks or an arty simulator.
