Join us and our special guest MaKenzie Tiegs, founder of the Raw Thoughts Podcast, discuss the emotional fabric that weaves together the lives of those on the front lines. Through the power of storytelling, MaKenzie is dedicated to giving a voice to silent struggles, and unraveling the personal narratives that often go unheard.
During intense moments of vulnerability, how does a paramedic forge a bond of trust that could mean the difference between life and death? MaKenzie shares insights on the art of patient care within the unpredictable realm of emergency medical services, the fleeting nature of connection, the quest for closure, and the importance of preserving humanity in each patient care interaction. This episode examines the delicate balance of empathy and expertise required by paramedics in the most critical of times.
But what happens when the siren fades and the uniform comes off? Probing into the hidden battles with mental health that many first responders face, we highlight the importance of communication, support systems, and building a resilience 'toolbox'. From the unspoken hardships to the urgent call for legislative change, we lay bare the realities of life as a paramedic.
