As we gear up for EMS week, we wanted to show some love to the EMTs who bust ass to save our asses all the time! You can't be a quality paramedic without being a quality EMT, so we can never spend too much time reinforcing their skills and knowledge. This one is for you guys and gals that proudly wear the title "EMT"!

"There's no such thing as a life-saving IV." Dean Douglas, NRP, addressing the new paramedic class in Spring 2014 at Greenville Technical College.

As our mutual paramedic instructor (Chris R.) used to say, "There's two kinds of medics: Those who stay and play, and those who load and go. The GREAT medics can switch back and forth when needed."

Michelle drops some important truth about prioritizing care and transport decisions on critical scenes. In classic "Listen, Linda!" fashion, the gloves are off and no punches are pulled. Enjoy!!!

One-uppers and energy vampires are equally toxic to EMS culture.

People who are healthy and fulfilled in life don't spend their time tearing you down. They want to see people healthy and fulfilled.

People who are unhealthy and unfulfilled don't want you to be happier than them. They will try to undermine your happiness.

Michelle launches her own series of solo episodes, "Listen, Linda!"

This episode tackles the conflict that exists between the "old school ways" and evidence-based medicine. She also elaborates on how transitioning to degree-based education has long term benefits for the health and success of EMS.

Get your reinforced boots strapped on, because there's a lot of toe-steppin' coming at you!

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Focus on doing skills correctly, then work on your speed.

The more critical a task is, the more important it is to have a system/routine to complete it. If you don't have a system, you will get overloaded with details of things that need to happen.

Panic does no one any good.

Authority is given, power is created, respect is earned.

Confronting abuse of authority it everyone's responsibility. Doesn't matter who you are, how newly certified you are. You have to draw a line in the sand and stand your ground.

Dark humor has always gone hand-in-hand with public service. But why? And what's the psychology behind it? Dan and Michelle not only explore the psychology of dark humor, but also the practical benefits of it. A little research mixed with some stories (whether or not they are funny is up to you...) and epiphanies made this episode a true delight to record.
