Our healthcare system is broken. Nurses and paramedics are leaving at rates never seen before. Is it really just the pay? The hours? Or is there something a bit more obvious, but often shunned or denied, that is part of the driving cause? Are the patients really supposed to be the Number 1 focus of the management, or should it be more along the lines of what Fortune 500 rescuer Richard Branson always says? "Your clients don't come first. Take great care of your people, and they will take amazing care of your clients." This is probably going to be a spicy podcast episode, but one that is not directed at any specific person, rather, it is instead stemming from conversations with EMS personnel, hospital personnel, in various states and services I have worked with in my past. No matter where we go, it is the same story, the same message...so how do we change it?
