While we in EMS LOVE new shiny toys or flashy treatments that were only used in the hospital, some patient treatments require us to take a step back and see our patients as more than just that traumatic accident.

This requires us to take a step back and see trauma in all its forms and treat our patients by the better angels of our nature.
