In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Dustin Petersen, a former EMT turned Trauma Surgeon. I've always been curious to know what goes through a doctor's mind when watching some of today's Hollywood takes on medicine. Let's be honest, if you work as a first responder, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about when it comes to some of these TV shows out there.

Dr. Petersen shares with me some insights when it comes to what led him to get into healthcare in the first place. I can honestly say, I don't know too many Doctors who started off as a first responder. We discuss key topics beginning with empathy for our patients, and work our way through to what leads to burnout and why it seems to be so common today.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Petersen shares some real life stories, struggles, and more. We discuss the shortage of Paramedics throughout the country and why we think that number continues to grow. Overall, this was a fun episode and I hope you enjoy it as well.
