• The following unsourced language, appearing likely to be factually inaccurate was removed "Among first responders, professional courtesy most typically applies during mass casualty incidents. When a first responder is injured in the line of duty, that responder skips triage and received immediate treatment. All other patients on scene are treated or not based on severity." While it may be possible for this statement to be true, it would be a distinct minority and it is not the widely supported view of the majority. Additionally, while some types of first responders provide emergency medical care, none are considered to be physicians, nor do other first responders such as police officers provide any emergency medical care. The generally accepted practice of mass casualty treatment involves the standard use of triage. SomeThingsLaw (talk) 03:17, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You should give some documentation about this reprehensible practice of cops not ticketing other cops for blatantly illegal acts : http://www.njlawman.com/Feature%20Pieces/Professional%20Courtesy.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.187.148.40 (talk) 18:49, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nowadays, does this phrase not get a much much wider meaning than simply doctors and policemen? There would seem to be oodles of examples where members of any numbers of professions (and included by implication, of "trades" as well) provide their own services or otherwise show "courtesy" to their own, often (or even especially) where they might be considered to be competitors? For example, TV stations often show coverage from competitive stations/networks, where of course they will acknowledge that this is a courtesy. Old_Wombat (talk) 12:15, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
