Open Airways: Stories from the back of the ambulance
Children and Meth
Dawn Bidwell
“Do you as an EMS provider know how to take care of these kids [who are taken out of meth houses]? Do you know what they need? Do you know how to support their psychological, emotional and physical needs?” Dawn Bidwell reminds us about this important but overlooked aspect of EMS care.
Dawn Bidwell, EMT-P, is coordinator for the Alexandria Division at North Memorial EMS Education in Minneapolis, MN.
Open Airways is a project to capture an oral history for the benefit of the EMS Community. EMS responders share some of the most meaningful cases of their careers, sometimes with humor and always with compassion. We hope that they will help us improve your practice and inspire a new generation of caregivers.
This series is produced by FISDAP with the support of EMSResponder.com. Listen to the latest features here and look for the series archive at openairways.net.
To share your most meaningful case and the lesson it taught you, call FISDAP Open Airways at 1.651.314.7424
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
