In this episode, we dive into "Seen Safety." Yes that is the wrong version, of "scene" that is intentional! We’ve all learned the mantra "BSI, scene safe," treating it like a checkbox to tick off. While we generally avoid unsafe scenes, how often do we evaluate the situation ourselves? Are you practicing habits on every call that ensure your safety? What do you do when you find yourself in a “sketchy” scene? Join us as we explore scenario-driven discussions that will help you build those essential habits now!

We've all heard the saying, "If it's icky, sticky, brown, and not yours, don't touch it." But let's face reality, in EMS, we often don't have the luxury of choice. Patients deteriorate, wound dressings must be changed, and sick individuals call 9-1-1. We administer airway adjuncts and medications that increase our exposure to aerosolized particles—particles that seem to have an uncanny ability to travel impressive distances and head straight for our faces at the speed of a sneeze. So, how can we prioritize safety? What precautions should we be taking, and what gear is essential? We've got just the expert to shed light on all of this. Join us as Dr. Stanton delves into the realm of infectious diseases.
