You guys ever see a dead family member in a patient? Like they look similar, act similarly?

No?

Maybe it’s just me.

Nate talks about his life experiences and how it helps him talk with patients that are struggling with mental health. He talks about a patient experience where he really connected with a patient and how the patient was seen years later having changed his life. 

We talk about God in EMS and the really unfair and tragic things we see. How this will test your faith. 

Kiley talks about how, seeing so much death, it’s seeing the patients themselves in their last moments that convincing her there is a God.

Burnout

Lean into your coworkers, share your feelings. Talk with people to help heal.

Follow up on that critical patient you are worried about. 

Avoid substances.

Talk with people about how you feel.

Use those frustrations to exercise or do something productive.

Calls add up over time. Sometimes it not just one call, its multiple in a row
