Episode 73: Anna Talks Therapy

We’re going to circle back to our mental health for this episode! Anna sits down with Troy Longo, paramedic and licensed counselor, and Dan Gaudette from Hackensack Meridian JFK EMS; who is a critical care transport nurse with a background in psychiatric emergency care.

They discuss what post-traumatic stress is; how you recognize it, and they get into the basics of therapy and why it can be a real help.

We also have another segment of Pediatric Pearls with none other than Dr. Peter Antevy! This one talks about the importance of accurate fluid resuscitation for kids…it’s en eye-opener!

Episode 60: Art, Communication, and Healing

Ed and Dan sit down with fellow colleague and paramedic Kate Bergen about her art series that she created during COVID-19, and how she uses art to help manage her stress levels working in the challenging environment of EMS in the US today, and chronicle the amazing work that EMS has done in this new world.

The important thing to take from this episode is that everyone in EMS NEEDS to have some form of healthy release, a way to quiet your brain and recharge. Whatever you do, it is worth it. YOU are worth it.
