The Things That Matter
The things that matter most to those who have been working in the medical field for a long time is not the money. The things that matter the most are those small things when you have touched a patient and there is the unbelievable outcome when there is little chance of survival where the patient lives to tell about it and thank you. The things that matter are those who you have trained get to come back to you and tell you about how things are going in training while going after a higher level of medical knowledge and how much you have helped them. The things that matter are when you leave students with that same knowledge after your courses comes back to tell you about a patient that should have never made it back to the hospital alive but did. An amazed Doctor who asks the Paramedics "How did you know to do that and where did you learn it?" Those are some of the real things in life for medical professionals that matter.
We here at 911 Tactical Medicine have been blessed in all accounts when it comes to the things that matter. This week it was a prior student calling to thank us on how smooth schooling was going and how much things made sense to them. Two weeks ago it was a call from another group of students who had saved a patient who was in no shape to have lived yet the correct procedures where done that saved the life. They where not 911 EMS protocol driven "Cook Book Medicine" but patient outcome driven. A month and a half ago a former student (Doctor) called from overseas thankful for the training and wanting to be able to get more, not just for him but all of his men there stuck in an austere environment.
When in class listen to the experience. Its not the book by itself but what is being said that correlates to the writing that has the experience and knowledge to back it up. What is being taught should be put in a perspective that is easy to understand where it is complex in writing broken down "Barney Style" as we like to say. At the end of the day medicine is medicine. No matter how you sling it. The only thing that changes is how you apply it in the given environment you are in at the time. The outcome becomes the things that matter.
