When you prepare beyond your basic training and knowledge you are giving your patients an unfair advantage. This is good for them of course but great for you as well.
It’s unfair unfortunately because many EMS providers just do the minimum to get certified and get a job. But as you know, EMS is more than just a job. There are so many moving parts and you should be understanding them all thoroughly.
Doing that will give your patients that advantage they need. Take a listen to this weeks episode and see what I mean.
