It's a part of the job, right, but what you don't learn is how to process it, because the old school ways was you just bury it deep into a crappy place and then throw some whiskey on top of it, and you're good to go.
Ever wondered how first responders manage the intense stress and trauma they face daily? In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', host Jason LaChance chats with Jason Patton, the brain behind Fire Dept Chronicles, about the unexpected yet powerful role humor plays in helping EMS professionals cope. Patton opens up about his experiences using dark humor in the fire department to navigate tough situations, turning laughter into a survival tool.
But that's not all; he also shares his passion for coffee and the story behind Fire Dept Coffee, a company dedicated to supporting first responders and their communities. As the conversation deepens, they tackle serious topics like addiction and mental health, with Patton challenging societal norms and urging listeners to seek help when needed. They wrap up by discussing the often harsh reactions on social media and the need for empathy in our interactions.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of humor, mental health, and community support.
