#badEM19 "paramedics out there are so brave because they go to the unknown and just do what they need to do", attacks on our workforce have become overwhelming - we need to form relationships with the community, they can protect EMS us..... Is this the way we protect our EMS?

***Warning personal rant*** “Expectation/reality mismatch”. Such a beautiful description about how I feel about private healthcare (esp. patient perception) in general. Sue Le Roux #badEM19

Achieving Well-Being 1. Look at your currently reality. Where am I? 2. Ideally? Where do I want to be? 3. How do I get there? Micro-habits (make it simple, so there is no excuse) Aileen Klette

Create a movement of well-being. How do we do this: 1. Start take a step. Not just the leader but also the first follower. 2. Its about a mission, define the mission 3. Surviving the victory, keep going. Aileen Klette

Well-being, when the definition has it's own unique meaning to each and everyone. look after yourself, it's more than okay to talk about it. Mental, physical and emotional health #badEM19

Amazing how many people at the #badEM19 belief that even though mental well-being is important there is a stigma around it in EM. Lets start talking about it - Lets start a movement - Aileen Klette
