Description
You guys ever see a dead family member in a patient? Like they look similar, act similarly? No? Maybe it’s just me. Nate talks about his life experiences and how it helps him talk with patients that are struggling with mental health. He talks about a patient experience where he really connected with a patient and how the patient was seen years later having changed his life.  We talk about God in EMS and the really unfair and tragic things we see. How this will test your faith.  Kiley talks about how, seeing so much death, it’s seeing the patients themselves in their last moments that convincing her there is a God.
