Open Airways: Stories from the back of the ambulance
The Constant Struggle
Rod McGinnes
“You kinda have to build these two complete levels of emotional armor … work is work and home is home, and they just don’t mix too much.” Rod McGinnes discusses the difficulty of maintaining an emotional separation between home life and work as an EMS provider, and how your relationship with your EMS partner plays an important role.
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.
