@maiadorsett.bsky.social appreciates this recent episode of EMS Educator Podcast looking at art as therapy in EMS. Recently held an inservice and discovered some budding play dough artists in our agency. Thanks as always for a great conversation that makes me pause and rethink.

Intubated, chemically sedated, and immobilized, Ravi developed a massive pulmonary embolism and died handcuffed to a hospital bed. He’d been caught in a system that worked against him at every turn.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Fantastic talk from @maiadorsett.bsky.social about giving feedback in #EMS. This was important to me as a medic & I prioritize it as a Medical Director when I can. Too many limitations w/ hospital outcomes. NEMSAC is trying to break down silos with improving bidirectional data sharing. #NAEMSP2025

Equity in #EMS is not a niche issue. It’s a central issue to care provision in EMS. The HOPE collaborative is 9 EMS systems brining their data together to address care inequities. #NAEMSP2025

Border wall height increases = increased traumatic injury for those seeking #asylum. Healthcare access is difficult. 83% loss-to-follow-up after ortho injury. Not enough docs/space/time/money to provide adequate healthcare. #NAEMSP2025

Dr. Allison E. Berndtson is giving a powerful presentation on traumatic injuries at the US-Mexico border. The increases in length and height of the border wall creates a catastrophe of injuries. I’ve long been an open borders advocate and this only reinforces that stance. #NAEMSP2025

I knew it difficult to seek US #asylum, no idea how hard it is to request/get to appointment! Using CBP app means: have cell phone and internet, download app, fill it out in English/Spanish, use in specific MX areas, show up right time/place. #barriers to legal entry. @naemsp.bsky.social #NAEMSP2025

“Diagnosis doesn’t equal impairment.” “We cannot ‘self-care’ our way out of this problem.” Licensed healthcare professionals must answer questions about their diagnosis & treatment which jeopardize their license status. This adds to the stigma of asking for help. #NAEMSP2025

Dr. Amanda Humphries leaves us with important lessons below. #PTSD and #Depression symptoms are rampant in public safety due to our constant & respective exposures. We have more stigma associated with reporting symptoms and asking for help. STOP THE STIGMA! #NAEMSP2025

A diagnosis of mental health does not mean current impairment. We need to stop penalizing physicians in licensing for mental health which stops them from seeking treatment. Amanda Humphries giving a phenomenal keynote at #NAEMSP2025. @naemsp.bsky.social
