Today, Mike and Sean talk about what goes into being a good WEMS provider. Just like the differences between urban and austere medicine, there are differences in the individuals who provide this type of care. They talk about some of the key attributes needed, both mentally and physically, as well as some of the additional skills required to function in a WEMS environment. Lastly, they discuss whether this specific area of specialization is for everyone.

The first FROM THE MOUNTAIN Episode! Sean and Mike sit down while on duty in the mountains and discuss an encounter they had with a patient experiencing trouble breathing. They talk through the challenges of treating someone that isn't really that deep into the woods and outline how quickly things can become much more difficult when you're off the hard pack roads.
