Nick talks about a difficult traffic accident and how something that seems like not a big deal but actually affected him – we can’t choose the things that affect us Is there something protective in the fire or law enforcement world that helps with longevity?

29:47

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.…

The team mentality at all levels in the ED is key to a harmonious, efficient and effective environment In EMS, this can be difficult on a given scene when you may not know the other responders all that well and it can be easy to get offended when no offense was meant Developing a thick skin is important in emergency medicine.

The medical hierarchy, identity outside of the profession and creating healthy rituals 39:40

We discuss what things we want others to know about our careers. In EMS we can tend to jump immediately to being confrontational, even when the other person isn’t meaning to be confrontational.

Meaningful patient interactions – Hold on to them. The mundane calls, the rude patients, the horrible things we see - those are the price we pay for the one call where you save someone or have a meaningful interaction.

Emergent Standards I address a comment about how we mentally handle the patients we care for that have committed violent crimes. We still care for them to the best of our ability; in fact we often learn the whole story after we have finished caring for them. We don’t judge because that is not our role. We find ways to move on from the horrible situ…

Confidence in EMS: Nate talks about how he was reaffirmed when learning ALS meds and a physician agreed with his treatment plan. School does not make you confident.

Pronouncing in the field is a difficult part of EMS. In a lot of ways, the ED insulates us from some of the aspects of this that make it challenging when you are in the patients actual home.
