"Run-Hide-Fight" is the summative life-saving mantra taught by governmental and private agencies in active shooter training. Initial research focused on patient expectations of health care provider responses in life-threatening situations suggests patients believe health care providers will take significant action to protect patient well-being. The potential disparity between expectations of the public and health care practitioner training must be examined, as conflict, confusion, and delays may have mortal consequences in active shooter situations.
