In the wake of the death of George Floyd, and hearing so much about racial disparities in society, I think it behooves all people of good will to look to our own lives and ask ourselves to what extent we are part of the problem, and to what extent we are part of the solution. With that in mind, this piece in EMS world highlights some uncomfortable truths for those of us working in emergency medical services. Most of us would be appalled to think we treated patients differently based on race, but sadly, it's not hard to find reports of implicit bias at work in EMS. I know this is uncomfortable stuff to have civil conversations about, but I think we owe it to the world, our profession, the communities we serve, and ourselves to look at this.
