I try to accept feedback or criticism openly when dealing with someone pointing out an error I did. However when i also point out errors to someone they refuse it? I don't understand this and it seems hypocritical.
let me point out this happened in a college course with someone who was probably 10 years older than me (Im 28). We were doing a group exercise for basic BLS/CPR as part of an EMT course. I was up to work on the mannequin. I went through the procedure as best I could and by the end this other person said I failed to do scene safety (basically call out that the scene was safe as this is a mock scenario), my compression rate wasn't correct, and I think one other thing but I can't remember. I said "oh cool I'll remember to work on that" , thanked him , and my other partner (who was overseeing) helped me remember the right ways to do it and how to remember. However, during his exercise he failed to inform me while I was running a bag valve for practice of which compression stage he was at so i could appropriator give the mannequin 2 breaths (Basically in EMS both parties have to communicate as you both do very specific roles so person doing compressions calls out when the bag valve operator does 2 breaths and then repeats at a 30:2 ratio ) I pointed this out to him but he deflected by saying I should already know 30:2 and that he "wasn't open to feedback".
I asked my instructor afterwards and was confirmed that communication is pivotal and that yes the person doing compressions calls to the bag valve operator to do their 2 rescue breaths to avoid complications in a real scenario.
I guess I don't understand this because i felt his feedback on me was important and acknowledged it, but then when i gave him some he just denied it. I guess this is hypocrisy but seriously how do you even deal with these kind of people who want to act like they shouldn't reasonably also be subject to the same kind of scrutiny for education and proper procedure?
