I interview Paramedic Ruiz with Austin Travis County EMS in today's episode. She talks about what got her hooked on EMS, her compassion for the job, and how she has this urge to help people. Work-life balance is critical to this job, and Medic Ruiz talks about how she manages that. She shares how EMS is a calling/passion, and at times the job gets to you, and it can be hard not to bring it home, but there are also incredible highs from this job.
