EMS World Interview: Fire Department Chronicles’ Jason Patton

Комедия

Jason Patton just might be the funniest-and most recognized-firefighter-paramedic in the country. Millions of followers turn to his “Fire Department Chronicles” social media channels for a humorous behind-the-scenes look at the lives of first responders. But it’s not all pranks and jokes-Patton is a serious business leader who serves as vice president of Fire Department Coffee and is a staunch advocate for mental health and addiction issues plaguing first responders.
EMS World was honored to feature Patton as the keynote speaker during EMS World Expo 2022 in Orlando. We caught up with him for a few minutes afterward to get his take on the energy and enthusiasm of the conference, as well as an exciting new announcement for his fans.

    Just a comment on something I have learned. I have severe ptsd and started having extreme anxiety and depression. I learned I start physically mentally and emotionally collapsing when I’m overwhelmed and that leads to dehydration. I always thought dehydration is more of a flue feeling but I now know it’s a cause of mental breakdown. Please check people who are suffering from mental issues for dehydration. Thank you so much.

    I started as a volunteer EMT in '86 for 6 yrs w/3 different departments (@same time) including a tourist town for a summer. The tourist town could go from 1500 population in winter to 60k in summer. I wish that I still had my occasional journals that I wrote from back then... the funny, the audacious, the shocking stories just don't change through the years. Luckily, I worked with some great people through those years- some would say sick minded- because we would find something funny about EVERY call. Your humor is on spot!

    I’m ecstatic to hear you just filmed the pilot for a tv show. I’ve actually been wondering why you haven’t had a tv show of your own. I went to EMT school many years ago and loved it. I would’ve loved to be a paramedic as well. I decided to go to school and get my BSN as it was a better fit for me. At the time I was a single mom of 3 teenagers and I was sure they’d kill each other if I was away working for 24 hour shifts. There were a few times over the years that I did use the EMT training I had received. One time I was the only medically trained person among the people who stopped to help after witnessing a few accidents. After hearing the “good advice” given by the people who had no type of medical knowledge whatsoever. At a motorcycle accident, some of those people were preparing to move the victim’s unconscious and broken rag doll body. I’m pretty sure I’m the reason he wasn’t internally decapitated by those good samaritans who had planned to drag him across a multi lane freeway. I’m in awe of and tremendously grateful for all Firefighters & EMS - thank you all for your selfless service ❤ Now I’m arthritic and have had multiple back and joint surgeries and I’m 100% positive that no one wants to call 911 and have me show up. The only way I could help would be by lying down next to the patient and keeping them company whilst telling them about all of my medical problems🙃

    @@cynthiaahern9081 Thank you too! I truly appreciate your kind words. I’m sorry to hear about your health problems too as they sound very difficult. Without the help and guidance of mental health professionals like you, I’d have the personality of a rock. I think it’s so helpful to be able to see the humor in life. I actually think it helps those close to us handle our infirmities. The most significant thing for me is that I keep talking to friends, family and all who support me. It’s easy for me to isolate during difficult times. My friend told me to pick up my 5000 Lb phone and CALL SOMEONE! she’s right - I always feel better after reaching out to someone. Sometimes I feel better simply by hearing about that person’s day - often mine isn’t as bad as I thought after all! I hope you are doing well today - sending you a virtual hug ♥️

But the call is for more laughter in life, More joy More light hearted moments More Darwinism award moments! Come on networks, wake up! Get us addicted to laughter not shock, blood and danger... 🌞🙏
