Nate's overdose and recovery
Manage episode 429990417 series 3428836
Nate (EMT) shares his story and the issues he has been dealing with.
Nate overdosed on medication and ended up in inpatient psych care which helped him immensely.
He still feels grief from time to time but does have happiness more now.
Nate wants people to know that these struggles are real and you are not alone. Don’t be afraid to talk about it. Seek counseling and therapy.
The field we work in makes us prone to dealing with mental stress and health.
Dark humor is a method we use to move on to the next patient or next call.
Our job is to help the body heal itself, sometimes this doesn’t work and we can’t get caught up in the times when it doesn’t work. We must be comfortable outside of that control.
We can’t save everyone.
A bad partner or burned out partner on the ambulance can really ruin your experience. We all need to be willing to teach in a tactful nonjudgmental way.
Sometimes doing nothing is the right answer if a patient needs an OR and a rapid transport is necessary
