Paramedic AF

In their second Valentine's Day episode, Michelle opens with a call review of a cold sepsis patient (with a twist...). Then, after answering a question from a fan of the show, Dan and Michelle deep dive into a discussion about transparency through social engagement between EMS agencies and the general public. It's time to pull back the curtain and allow the public to see what happens when the ambulance doors close, as well as what happens in the stations.

You won't want to miss this. :)

>>>MESSAGE FROM DANIEL: I messed up when setting up our sound gear, so the audio quality is NOT our normal. The mistake wasn't found until editing began. It will not happen next time. :)
