This session will discuss the importance of cumulative stress disorder and PTSD awareness and recognition in EMS. "Fit for Duty" will tell the story of a new HEMS provider and an incredibly challenging call for him, his patient and his team. Using this framework along with a healthy bit of humor, James aims to ensure all members of the EMS community understand the importance of treating our mental health no differently than the physical health of our patients. Taking stock of the symptoms, seeing the signs and ensuring that we are all Fit for Duty.
