Summary
Episode 308:What happens when a paramedic turns years of street-medicine notes into reflections on humor, heartbreak, and humanity? Her book: "A Real Emergency: Stories from the Ambulance" is a must-read as Joanna’s writing doesn’t just capture what we do as medics, it captures who we are: compassionate, flawed, and human. In this episode, Joanna reflects on her path from feeling adrift in Oakland to finding purpose as a paramedic serving the communities of Reno, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco. Her insights shine a light on the humor, heartbreak, and compassion that define the world of EMS. https://www.spreaker.com/episode/joanna-sokol-notes-from-the-streets--68380096
