Ep. 32: The Better Angels of our Nature
While we in EMS LOVE new shiny toys or flashy treatments that were only used in the hospital, some patient treatments require us to take a step back and see our patients as more than just that traumatic accident. Enter Trauma Informed Care, which is a way to treat our patients not only with their immediate medical needs but a way to prevent the long-lasting effects of trauma. This requires us to take a step back and see trauma in all its forms and treat our patients by the better angels of our nature. To understand this further, the But Why EMS team interviews: Dr. Lekshmi Kumar Emergency Medicine, EMS Physician, and Medical Director of Grady EMS.
