Here is an older podcast I did with Greg Friese of EMS1.com. We talked about social media in EMS how it goes beyond just a simple post and how it can affect your EMS career.

This was a great episode I know you will enjoy.

But all is not lost and you are not alone. In fact it isn’t all that bad.

I was joined by Mike Pertz this week on the show and we discussed a variety of topics. One of them being why EMS providers resist increasing their knowledge base unless it is exam time or mandated by their job or certification.

Mike is a contributor to FireRescue1.com and he has a great tool for EMS providers to help with pediatric patients called SmartSquad and you can get more information on that tool here.

He gave some unique insight into this topic I am sure you will enjoy.

He is also the owner of FireFighterNow.com which helps those who want to become firefighters pass those exams.

This was a great episode so be sure to lean forward and listen below.

Being able to anticipate things in EMS can be helpful. When you think about it, you can actually try and anticipate many things in your EMS day. By doing this you will find yourself better prepared what you find even if you didn’t actually anticipate it.

You have heard the saying “Knowledge is Power”. In EMS you have to be able to apply that knowledge and know when and how. Especially within the pre hospital environment.

Anyone can memorize big words and sound smart around the water cooler. But that won’t change what you can do as a paramedic or EMT.

Be good in EMS so you can be great for your patients.

We all complain from time to time on the job. The patients, the calls, the nurses, our agencies and management all find a place on the “gripe vine”.

But when you find yourself always complaining and bringing down the moral of your peers. You can pretty much be assured that you are being complained about too.

This week I revive my hate for multiple choice EMS exams but I also acknowledge how I must embrace them.

Many EMT and Paramedics don’t see that while certain types of MC resources will sidetrack your success in EMS.

Others will make all that time, energy and money you have spent working towards your EMT or paramedic certification lead to success.

Lets face it. You can bullsh*t your way through EMT or Paramedic school. Do the bare minimum, skate by the exams, play off your class mates and pass.

Its not hard. I’ve seen people do it. Heck I know kids getting college degrees that have bullshitted their way through. Never taking a note or cracking open a book.

But when does that come back to haunt you? This weeks Office Hours talks all about when that half ass-ary comes back to teach you a valuable lesson.

Take a listen below and be honest. Have you ever BS’d your way through a class, a course or exam? Did it really help you past that moment?

I am confident it most likely did not.

What do you do each day in EMS that makes a difference? Not necessarily with a patient, although that is certainly important.

I’m talking about doing things that influence. They can be small or big. Perhaps just at the level of influence with that partner sitting next to you.

When we can have that micro influence, it can go much further than we may think.

Take a listen to this weeks podcast and see if you fit in as a micro influencer in EMS.

Sometimes it feels like you are going against the current. Even your patients resist when you are trying to advocate for them. Its frustrating but its important to always come full circle and to keep going and doing the right thing. Take a listen below to see what I mean on this weeks podcast.
