After having a discussion at work about the reliability of the Glasgow Coma Scale and it's reliability and applicability, I decided to do some research to answer my questions.

Mental health in public safety and the medical field is not a taboo subject, it's dangerous. It's a subject that needs to be talked about and the stories need to be shared. This is my story. In the beginning, I never thought I had a problem, I was always "fine" and could handle anything. I was invincible. I was the same as anyone else in this field, resilient and tough with thick skin. Nothing bothered me, or so I thought. Go to www.groundeffectned.com/FTA1 for the full show notes
