In the first Q & A episode, Dan and Michelle answer the following questions from followers:

1. Why did you go into this field?

2. Who is a good fit for this field?

3. How do you deal with the emotional trauma of losing someone you are helping?

4. What are all of the advantages and disadvantages of working for EMS?

5. I would like discussions and possible ideas for solutions, for when your body gets broken, your aging, and can't do all the lifting and moving but you still have the knowledge and skills of the profession, and want to work. Where do we go from here? I know of some ideas, but perhaps there's more to consider.

6. Working with an auto immune disease like POTS, lupus, Gillian Barre syndrome and bells palsey

7. Why EMTs and paramedics don't take their own mental health seriously
