Description

The paradigm around rapid sequence intubation is evolving and becoming much safer with more education and procedures. Sometimes in emergency medicine slow is better. We need to stay mindful and calm in chaos and this requires us to detach and be above the fray and walk slowly instead of run. This will actually increase effectiveness and efficiency. Nate recounts his EMT rides with myself and a great paramedic partner I had named JustinNate actually paid in EMT school to do more third rides so he could learn from the crews that were good at teachingCrews can make or break an EMT students experience Nate talks about how you really have to love EMS. The things we see are difficult, the shifts are long, the pay is not great. Something has to get you throughWhat affects one person may not affect another. Casey talks about how it can be tough when things don’t affect you at all. That can be a form of struggle as well. We talk about some of the hardest things to see in EMS, the cries of a mother or father at the loss of a child. I talk about, how as an ER PA, I am a little more insulated from the death and the conversations with family than I was as a paramedic. Nate talks about looking for the good differences you make with people. His job is not to save a life but to prolong lives.Be intentional about marking those good momentsCasey talks about how a patients family remembered him long after a callSupport the showEverything you hear today from myself and my guests is opinion only and doesn’t represent any organizations or companies that any of us are affiliated with.
