EMS Office Hours

As a new feature here at Office Hours, once a month we will do a show that focuses on numerous topics in EMS. This month, we discussed if being an EMT really is the worst job, how someone’s camera may not put you in the best light and Tim Noonan joined us as we talked about refusals, hypoxia and true patient awareness.
