Investing in your people sounds like a great idea. But how do you do it? Where do you start?

While we could write books about this topic, this episode aims to start the conversation with some practical advice and thoughts.

Essentials of building a bright future for EMS:

1. Train your replacements
2. Focus on what is effective, not who is right
3. Protect success, not feeling

As an industry, we need to focus inward on retention to be able to project outward to a brighter future.

Intro: Housekeeping Rules on Discord

Reading: How To Tell A Mother Her Child Is Dead, by Naomi Rosenberg, MD.

Death is an every-day event for emergency services. It is something we know as intimately as our own souls. But what we call routine, others call a life-altering experience. Death leaves no one unaffected. Part of our role as providers is to know how to let patients' loved ones grieve.

Despite the wild and crazy ups and downs of a career in public service, it's always the little things that stick with us the most. Learning to embrace those little moments is part of maintaining a healthy career in emergency services as a whole.

Every agency has a goal for how you think, act, and feel. This is what drives their culture. Good, bad, or otherwise. Is this indoctrination normal?

"Change" is a dirty word in the world of public service. Why is that?

You are not responsible for every person's opinion of you. But you are responsible for what kind of reputation you feed. If it's broken, only you can fix it.

Rigorous accountability is neither cute, sexy, nor pithy. Emergency Medicine is not the place to half-ass or excuse accountability. We MUST be held to a high standard, that is both clear and consistent. Operationally, clinically, and personally.
