Those standards include care for someone having a heart attack, stroke, has been involved in an automobile accident and so on. During that training, there is a chapter labeled “Wellness of the EMT.” Within this chapter is a very small section that pertains to the Paramedic taking care of themselves when they are not taking care of patients.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above clearfix"> <h3 class="field__label">Tags</h3> <ul class="links field__items"> <li><a href="/taxonomy/term/20" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">EMS Safety</a></li> <li><a href="/taxonomy/term/25" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Wellness</a></li> <li><a href="/taxonomy/term/3" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Law Enforcement</a></li> <li><a href="/taxonomy/term/4" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Fire Service</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="node__links"> <ul class="links inline"><li class="node-readmore"><a href="/node/35" rel="tag" title="“I’ll be Okay; I can Handle It” First Responder’s response to Stress" hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about “I’ll be Okay; I can Handle It” First Responder’s response to Stress</span></a></li><li class="comment-forbidden"></li></ul> </div> </div> </article> Thu, 30 Jan 2020 03:35:00 +0000 Jonathon Walker 35 at https://www.onscene.us https://www.onscene.us/node/25 <span property="schema:name" class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">When Words Fail - (EMS) Family Violence in the Rig</span> <div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>You may have seen recent news regarding <a href="https://www.ems1.com/ems-assaults/articles/fdny-medic-attacked-by-partner-in-rig-BrBvswVNx3Vi8Rlm/">an altercation involving two FDNY paramedics</a> ↗️while on duty. </p> <p>The Inside EMS Podcast with Chris Cebollro and Kelly Grayson explores root issues behind altercations such as this.</p> <p>Grayson cites a failure of leadership and unnecessary organizational pressures.</p></div> <span rel="schema:author" class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="/user/6" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Bill Degnan</span></span> <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2020-01-18T15:57:00+00:00" class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Sat, 01/18/2020 - 09:57</span> <div class="field field--name-field-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above clearfix"> <h3 class="field__label">Tags</h3> <ul class="links field__items"> <li><a href="/taxonomy/term/5" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Emergency Medicine</a></li> <li><a href="/taxonomy/term/25" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Wellness</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="node__links"> <ul class="links inline"><li class="node-readmore"><a href="/node/25" rel="tag" title="When Words Fail - (EMS) Family Violence in the Rig" hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about When Words Fail - (EMS) Family Violence in the Rig</span></a></li><li class="comment-forbidden"></li></ul> </div> Sat, 18 Jan 2020 15:57:00 +0000 Bill Degnan 25 at https://www.onscene.us https://www.onscene.us/node/23 <span property="schema:name" class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Think Outside The Box For Responder Wellness</span> <div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>My first reaction was, "We <em>have</em> a <em>box</em>???" But, the article explores things that individuals or agencies can use to improve the well being of first responders. There's a reason it was probably the subject of the first chapter in your EMS textbook.</p> <p>The writer, a patrol officer with Taunton (Mass.) PD, should get credit for having figured us out.
