How each of us practices medicine is uniquely shaped by our experiences. Christine, a nurse practitioner as well as former EMT & Army medic, speaks with medical professionals from all specializations across the globe about the stories that have influenced how they practice medicine. Paramedics, nurses, doctors, & more recount tales that range from funny to wild to profoundly moving, but no matter the role, culture, or country, all are working to make humanity better any way they can.

We have a special guest this week, Tina, host of the popular medical true crime podcast, Good Nurse Bad Nurse!
Christine and Tina delve into the growing issue of violence against healthcare providers & discuss their own experiences as well as the horrific assaults of Army nurse, 1LT Katie Blanchard & Massachusetts Emergency Room nurse Elise Wilson.
With growing focus on violence against physicians and nurses, Christine highlights a continued lack of information about assaults on EMTs & paramedics, where violence often happens in isolated environments or even at high-speeds.
