I think the stressors are becoming more and more visible to our community, which is very important. Just to add to the comments about the young paramedic recruit, 40 years ago when I became a paramedic in Toronto, we didn't talk about this in my training of four weeks. Some 15 years ago when my son became a paramedic in a one-year program, they didn't talk about it very much.
I have a grandson who I think maybe some day might want to following in his father's and grandfather's footsteps. I sure hope that there's a whole course on how to look after yourself during a career of 40 years.
