What’s this thing all
about?
That was
probably the first thing you asked yourself when you saw this blog. A lot of thought has gone into deciding to
start this blog. I will just touch on
some of the ideas that will be in upcoming posts.
I have
found myself frustrated with some aspects of the HEMS(Helicopter Emergency Medical Services) environment and believe there are others who have similar
concerns. My intention is to keep this
blog completely POSITIVE and only point out problems or observations with
suggestions to make them better. I invite
positive and productive comments and feedback. Any derogatory or overtly negative comments
will be removed to maintain the positive nature of this blog.
Safety is
one of the biggest subjects I want to keep at the top of this blog. I have been working in HEMS for many years
and have been lucky more than once. My
desire is to help others learn from my experiences and mishaps. Hearing about incidents in our industry concerns
me, whether it is about an aircraft, ground ambulance, or anything else where
one of our own was hurt. This happens
entirely to often and is almost always preventable.
Education,
training, and clinical experiences are other topics that I feel are important. It is so easy to become complacent. I know this from my own experience. Our shifts are either really busy and we do
not feel like training or they are slow and we get into the “I’ll do it
tomorrow” way of thinking. I am hoping
that we can help to motivate each other and share some good learning
opportunities.
Stress
Management also comes to mind as something I would like to discuss. However, I
am no expert at this and will be looking for any suggestions you may have to
help with this topic. I will be doing more
research before I write about this subject.
As you can
see, I have a long list of subjects worthy of chatting about. I do plan of posting a bio about myself, and
how I came to be where I am. I would
love to hear about all of you.
Check back
often and keep in touch!!
