Psych calls are typically routine. However every once in a blue moon you come across a pysch patient that will change your life forever. The encounter this EMS crew has changes their lives from rosy to red in an instant.
In today's episode of the #medicmaterialspodcast we break down a call that begins as benign as they come, but Police begin to deteriorate patient relations and then the crew are forced to take drastic steps to save their patients life. We are joined with Mike (NYS EMT, NYS CIC), Kelsey (NYS EMT), Gerard (NYS AEMT-P) & Emily (NYS EMT-B / ER RN).
Are you or do you know a fellow ems provider in need of mental health help? There IS help available for you. Here are links to the Code Green Campaign and Operation At Ease, both are amazing organizations that can assist you in getting you to the dedicated help you need. PLEASE! Seek the assistance you need. Your fellow providers DO care about you, your family WILL miss you. EMS will be lesser without you! Do not add to the stigma, make the call and reach out if you're having thoughts of suicide.
