In this episode, we wrap up season one by providing you with a reminder that the fight is not over, not even close. The world must remain diligent and EMS must maintain a high degree of operational and PPE discipline on duty and recognize the impact of social distancing off duty.
The real trick will be to avoid COVID fatigue in the healthcare world as a topic of discussion, training and operations even though it has pretty much overshadowed everything in our life for almost 6 months and counting. Getting numb to a topic, especially under the circumstances, even for a short time, provides an opportunity for something bad to happen, and we need to do everything we can to avoid that.
So, even though the pandemic isn’t over, and even though the first season of the EMS on AIR podcast is ending, we will be shifting our focus from COVID-19 as our primary topic to an in-depth look at the world of stroke and how EMS has been rapidly expanding their knowledge and skills to benefit stroke patients. The goal is to keep our listeners motivated with leading edge topics and experts and we think stroke is primed to remain a huge focus on the national stage.
