EMS Week should be about more than cold pizza and a plastic tumbler. This episode is for the ones who keep showing up—even when no one shows up for them.
You don’t get into EMS for the recognition. You get into it because you’ve got guts, grit, and the nerve to show up when everything else is falling apart.
In this EMS Week bonus episode of Structure & Scars, therapist and trauma educator Nikki Hensler Gordon sets the appreciation posts aside and tells the truth: EMS is in crisis. The system runs on the backs of medics, EMTs, and field staff who are overworked, underpaid, and expected to carry trauma that no one wants to talk about.
We’re talking about:
- What EMS Week actually feels like in the field
- Why cold pizza and a coffee mug don’t cut it
- How moral injury shows up in responders
- Why first responder wellness is a public health issue
- What real recognition—not performative gratitude—looks like
This episode is for the ones holding it together with duct tape and muscle memory. The ones who keep showing up even when no one shows up for them.
This one’s for the medics.
