Description

They taught us about STEMIs and scene safety—but they didn’t mention crying in the ambulance bay, learning how to nap in a stairwell, or just how weird 3 a.m. really gets. In this episode, we get real about the things we didn’t know when we started in EMS. From the emotional weight to the unspoken culture, the moments that make you question everything, and the small victories no one teaches you to celebrate—this is the stuff that doesn’t always make it into the textbook. Whether you’re new to the field or 20 years deep, we’re talking about the raw, unexpected, and often overlooked parts of this job that shape who we become.

As always, if you have a story to tell—funny, wild, heartbreaking, or unforgettable—you can share it through our website. We’d love to feature it on a future episode.
