Everyday, Paramedics and EMTs answer calls for help, and they have dedicated their hearts, lives, and souls to the study of EMS so they may respond at a momentβs notice and make critical lifesaving decisions and interventions. They perform CPR, defibrillate, start IVs, push medications, interpret ECG, intubate, and a myriad of other lifesaving procedures. Yet, EMS professionals remain severely underpaid in most states. Additionally, the burnout rate, suicide rate, and cases of PTSD are among the highest recorded for occupations. If you are an EMS provider, donβt be afraid to speak up if you feel as if you are stressed. PTSD is a very real disorder. There is help. There is hope.
