As the year comes to a close, Dan and Wil sit down for a candid, unscripted conversation about burnout in EMS and healthcare. In this Quick Crit, they share personal experiences from different career paths, including EMS, nursing, and major job transitions, and break down where burnout really comes from.

They talk about recognizing burnout cycles, the impact of workplace culture, feeling expendable versus valued, and knowing when small changes are not enough. The conversation also dives into practical strategies for managing burnout, including finding meaningful outlets, building a strong support network, and separating work from personal life.

Whether burnout is coming from your job, your schedule, your environment, or life outside of work, this episode offers honest reflection, hard earned lessons, and reassurance that you are not alone.

If you are feeling stuck, burned out, or questioning your next move in healthcare, this episode is for you.
