As the pandemic curve begins to flatten. We have to consider all that has changed for EMS during the crisis and what will be the new normal for EMS going forward the next few months and beyond.
Will it be back to business as usual or will some elements of change that should have been implemented years ago stay and even elevate EMS to a bigger role in health care.

Is it possible to forget some things in EMS? Sure.
But if you have spent the time and put in true effort. You can’t unlearn what you have built.
Now there may be times you have to refresh your memory or maybe you realize you have not mastered a subject in a way that you are confident.
But unlearn it? No.
Remember that if you give the effort, make the sacrifice and put in the work. You will always have the skills and knowledge you’ve built.
No one can ever take that away.

When you are a new EMT or paramedic at an agency its hard. You don’t yet have your own “flow” just yet and you tend to fall back on your textbook type approach to patients.
While there is nothing wrong with that. You also must start to take cues from your experienced partners and co-workers. Beginning to understand and recognize critical patients more rapidly is key to your success in EMS as well as the outcome of the patients.
In this episode I am joined by Shannon Bright who is a paramedic at a large agency with a high turnover rate. This can be frustrating for both new providers and experienced ones like Shannon. They are required to rapidly recognize not just patient issues, but issues that are demanded by an agency like scene times, hospital times and responses.

This episode is the beginning of a series of shows focused on EMS firsts.
I hope to get more engagement as we go forward and get other EMS professionals on to share their stories of calls, partners, skills and exams.
By sharing we can help recognize our own struggles and pass on the lessons to those listening.

After seeing several articles and social media discussions on the claims about EMS provider shortage. Jim and Josh jump on and ask the question “Is it truly a shortage of providers?” or maybe the continued low pay of EMS professionals is forcing qualified professionals who love the job to go into other fields with higher pay.
You can promote higher education as the solution till you’re blue in the face but no one is waiting around for agencies to pay higher for college degrees when that degree can pay the bills now someplace else.
Take a listen as they are also joined by a caller during the show.
