Monkeys and EMS

Sweet! :thumbright:

This is the all too often overlooked aspect of the education of medical professionals. And it is why I would never let anyone into my programme until they had successfully completed two semesters of psychology, a semester of sociology, and an interpersonal communications course. Our business is human beings. Communicating with them effectively and therapeutically is the first step in caring for them. If you fail that step, you are nothing but a monkey.

When I was in school, my teacher told us during very class "The strongest drug in your drug box is you as a provider." I've stuck by this everyday that I've worked since then.
