EMS school gives you the basics—how to take vitals, follow protocols, run a scene. But the reality? This job will throw curveballs you’ll never find in a textbook.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real lessons:

  • Expectations vs. reality when you hit the streets 🚑
  • The first time you face a “code brown” moment 💩
  • Why snacks, hydration, and stretching might just save your career
  • Burnout, dark humor, and the unspoken side of mental health
  • Being a woman in EMS—where “assertive” = “bitch” and “quiet” = “weak”
  • Safety tips they gloss over in class (like never losing your exit)

This is the raw, unfiltered truth about life on the truck—the lessons no instructor ever prepared you for.

👉 If you’re new to EMS or just need a reminder that you’re not alone in the chaos, this one’s for you.
