Yeah trauma & cardiac arrests are what we all want to do. But a day filled with referring/discussing people with specialty’s/other HCPs rather than just throwing them in the ambulance & going to ED because ‘its easier’ is just as rewarding. Pre hospital care is cool.
Pls share! It’s going to be v cold over the next few days.

I hope the Damar Hamlin case becomes a requiem for moving cardiac arrest patients out of public view. The moment he collapsed he owned the entire stadium and that’s exactly how it should be. Restart the heart before you depart. It saves lives.❤️
@JMoff79 @KHoulgate I got the impression Kirstin wasn't insinuating it isn't her job but portraying it is fatiguing which I understand. Care is care but hours waiting on the back of a DCA are emotionally taxing (for the patient and clinician).
@lardyc7 When I was a university paramedic student I remember attending a job with you. I still remember how including and respectful you were towards my learning. Thank you.
@kyletoc_o Demeaning title given the autonomy, accountability and responsibility we hold. Wouldn't take it personal, the public and greater medical field are never aware of our scope.
