Paramedic & EMT (Eric)
In the show’s first episode, we start at home. One of the hosts, Eric Shaw, shares his early experiences as an EMT and Paramedic. He explains the challenges faced by first responders, the impact of trauma on mental health, and the often humorous yet harrowing stories that come from their work. The guys explore the moral dilemmas encountered in emergency situations, the realities of working in high-stress environments, and the personal growth that comes from navigating these experiences. This is the first of my stories that aim to shed light on the extraordinary lives of ordinary people and the lessons learned along the way.
