The Foreign Language Of EMS | Treating From The Sidelines

EMS has a language of it's own. Have you ever tried talking to someone outside of EMS about a call you had, the way you do things at work or even explaining how a protocol works? They usually get confused, don't understand or it's just too much and they don't care.

They may even think you are cold or uncaring based on a story you may tell or frustration you described from a call.

This week we talk about this language and why we do it, how it helps us cope and if we should even bring outsiders into our little inside stories.

We also plan on talking about how easy it is to treat from the sidelines and specifcally a recent EMS/Police issue from NYC that was video taped and is being judged from the sidelines of FaceBook and other social media outlets.

Join Jim, Josh and Dave as they discuss the above and welcome any guest callers and chat room participants live.
