Ramping and waiting have been around for nearly two decades (see my recent article in Volume 21 of The Australian Emergency Services Magazine ) with no end in sight.

No matter how much we love dogs, entering their territory to touch their loved ones is always going to be risky. Most paramedics, police officers, firefighters, first responders, community midwives, district nurses, health visitors, mobile GPs, vets, social workers and other health or public service providers like dogs. A lot of us love them.

In 2015, Monique Rose and others wrote an article in JEMS magazine [2] that, among other things, tells a haunting story of an EMS provider who drove down a dark road, texted her children that she loved them, and completed suicide. But as long as all our charts are completed on time, our employers are happy. So why is this?

Unintentional though this may be, the chill occurs when others fear our potential to contaminate, or we are dismissed by other health professionals, as we have no central hub to safely contain ourselves within, or forge solidarity against the danger of the outside world. So how does this apply to prehospital roles? Theirs as well as our own!

By the time we add reduced empathy levels, increased judgmental responses and less overall joy in life to the mix, it becomes clear to see that a negative spiral can occur, either gradually or suddenly, with every aspect further impacting on each other. So why would we want to do this to ourselves?

I have been diagnosed with a mental illness, and it has taken me many years to get back on track. I continue to struggle, but I am better than I was. There are many different coping strategies people may use after experiencing trauma. They may be good and healthy, or they may be bad and unhealthy. There were many times I did not want to go to work.
