Have you ever been on the receiving end of a heartless, seemingly offensive joke? What was your initial response? Most likely, it was taken as an attack against you and maybe even seen as personal. Who wouldn't. What if the use of this type of humor is fundamentally much more pathological and has nothing to do to the person that was hurt by the joke. This type of Humor is widely seen in individuals and collective groups that have undergone immense, unfathomable traumatic events. Stay tuned, as we go wheels up, take flight, and journey into the turbulent topic of Dark Humor.

We are in service ladies and gentleman! The aircraft has been inspected, safety checks are complete and the weather is green as we continue our journey throughout EMS appreciation week. As previously discussed in the last podcast, each day of the week encompasses a particular theme or topic of discussion. Today have back to back missions as we cover Days #4 & #5 of EMS week. These are particular special days as it allows the attention to be shifted away from us and redirected back toward the public we serve. So hope aboard the flight deck and let's go wheels up on todays podcast. Note: All episodes containing claims or suggestions are backed by evidence based research.

Did you know that each day during EMS week corresponds with a particular theme? Tuesday is dedicated to EMS education day. We are going wheels up with a special guest. Safety checks have been completed, weather is green, and we are off on a journey into EMS education. Our special guest has a wide range of knowledge as an educator for medical providers and in my opinion, should be granted the title of honorary Astronaut. Dr. Leväi not only brings a plethora of certifications and experience but he plays a pivotal role in Beyond the Sirens. Dr. Leväi is a rare breed of educator, as he is notorious for moving any barriers that exist preventing a student from accessing education. Jay will even do this at the expense of his own financial well being. Dr Leväi is the true archetype in education and we are lucky enough to see him in action every time he interacts with his students on Beyond the Sirens Education. There no question how special Dr. Levai is through his passions for his students and care for his fellow human being.

Starting May 21st, for an entire week, is Emergency Medical Services Appreciation week. I want you to imagine a society, that you live in, were you are unable to call for medical assistance. What would we do if we fell ill or became injured? How would we get to the hospital? This world is a reality for people in countries all across the world. The live constantly in what feels like an "every man for themselves mentality". Our paramedics and EMTs do acts of amazing heroism, selflessness, and kindness that never gets recognized. They do this all while being under paid, overworked, and subjected to extreme trauma daily. Join us as we thank these amazing individuals who give so much without any expectation of reciprocation.

One of many things that are currently affecting many of our First Responders is the topic of pay. These selfless individuals, willing to rush into harms way, who also obtain post high school education, are severely finically under appreciated. Check out this episode of the podcast as we shine the light on this difficulty topic.

The Beyond the Sirens Podcast is officially in service. This episode is welcoming all of you to the Flight Crew Gang. We are happy to have you apart of this crazy band of misfits as we take on some of the toughest issues plaguing our First Responder community. Stay tuned, Follow, and share, as we turn up the heat in the coming podcasts.
