Meaningful patient interactions – Hold on to them.

The mundane calls, the rude patients, the horrible things we see -  those are the price we pay for the one call where you save someone or have a meaningful interaction.

It is an honor to take care of patients that can’t get help in any other medical setting except the ER. 

Find one thing every shift that you find fulfilling. Be intentional. Find that thing. Someone sweet, someone grateful, someone you helped.

You need the right expectations. Not every patient is dying, and too much high acuity will actually take its toll on you as well.

Micaela talks about the MCI she ran and her question of how could God be present in the destruction. She came to realize that God is not in the event, He’s in the healing and the processing of the event.

Providers should be educating those with less education and that want to learn.

Some things get easier with time, and you don’t have to think about them as much.
