This week I am choosing to talk about an enviormental health crisis based off of my real life current events. As I sit in our mobile response truck headed back to base I reflect on the 60 hours we worked this week alone This summer I have been deployed on two different assignments as a Paramedic to assist and support multiple rural municipalitites in Texas and Nevada. I have been in the field of EMS for almost 10 years, the entire span of my 20's. The conditions that people are under in this country are things that some could only imagine. I can only hope that 10 more years from now we continue to improve on emergency response policies for the overall health of first responders and those in need.
