Join Mike and Ritu as they finally got their collective S together and decided to record. We wanted to take some time and revisit EMS advocacy. This is such an important topic and is so often overlooked by the people doing the work on the streets or in the air. You can make a huge difference to our elected officials by providing them with education and information about what we do. Of course, you will need to skip ahead if you want to get right to the nitty-gritty…after all, they make up for lost time with jackassery.
