Practical EMS
My mission is to use the stories we all have in emergency medicine to encourage and uplift you where you are. EMT, Paramedic, nurse, PA, NP or physician. Emergency medicine is a very difficult specialty with unique challenges, and it calls us all to be better than the average person in order to stay healthy for our patients, our families and own mental wellness. I want to connect with EMS crews, fire crews, ER RN's, ER techs and new ER advanced practice providers to better understand their current struggles. I also want to bridge the gap between prehospital medicine and the emergency department and to encourage those seeking to become an advanced practice provider.

Practical EMS
How to heal and move past the difficult things
Our new panelists:
Lucas- ER Physician, Micaela- Paramedic, Alex- Paramedic, Rebecca- ER RN, Casey- Paramedic
We discuss struggles with caring for patients that have perpetrated violent crimes.
Recognize your own bias and your personal history that may affect patient care.
It’s important to have a good self-care plan because you can’t pour from an empty cup.
Pediatric calls will stick with you. They require intentionality to overcome.
We all carry scars with us.
Understand that we are human, and it is normal to feel emotions, but we owe it to our next patient to continue to be our best self.
Don’t miss opportunities to tell your family and friends you love them. Life is fragile.
Find the “thing” that works for you to help you heal from the things we see. Exercise, walk, talk with someone, watch a movie.
Overcome the challenges in a healthy way. Healing instead of coping.
Embrace the beautiful moments.
