This episode I sit down with Sgt. Whapples. He talks us through working with LEO on scene and how we as EMS can keep ourselves as safe as we can with the changes in policy on unsafe scenes. Also he unpacks what it is like to be injured on the job and return to work, just as healthy and mentally prepared to do the job, as he was prior to the injury! This is a story you won&apos;t want to pause! <a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1563617/support">Support the show</a>https://www.facebook.com/EMSconnectonline https://www.youtube.com/@EMSconnect
