With years of experience in EMS, Jonathan sheds light on the ever-evolving EMS protocols that dictated his practice in various roles within EMS

Our conversation dives deep into the heartbeat of emergency medical care, exploring the intricate dance between rapid medical intervention and the compassionate human touch that is essential in times of crisis. Jonathan walks us through typical EMS protocols and operational guidelines he deals with each and every day.

But it's not just the physical demands of the job we discuss; Jonathan opens up about the often-overlooked aspect of EMS work: mental health. He shares his personal experiences and the coping mechanisms that first responders develop to manage the emotional toll of their vital work. We delve into the support systems that are, or more importantly, aren't, in place, what more can be done, and how society can better understand and aid those who dedicate their lives to working in EMS.

Don't miss this enlightening conversation that's just as much about human connection as it is about the life-saving protocols of emergency care.
