One Step Forward, Two Steps Back – Focus People

June 6, 2012 by Jim Hoffman 1 Comment
Tweet

Great things are happening in EMS. New drugs, expanded protocols, high tech equipment. At the same time we deal with drug shortages, out dated and unproven standards of care and almost self sabotage of ourselves in the media, constantly putting up with the lowest common denominator in our ranks.

We need to find our focus. Sure work on the new stuff but maybe concentrate on the older issues too that are holding us back as a profession and as providers, lending for less than optimal patient care. How are you and your agency focusing on more steps forward and less steps back.
