Hi Y'all,

One of my regulators has put out a request for an essay on 'communication' for its upcoming annual meeting. They have provided content criteria (see below) but I'd like to take a new position on the subject rather than parot what others have already said. I'm trying to come up with a keystone story/event/etc. to build the essay around and draw specific or general examples from. Something like that Unrecognized Esophageal Intubation tragedy (read more here: https://emtlife.com/threads/unrecognized-esophageal-intubation.45551/).

Essay Criteria
In 1500 words or less:

  • Describe the forms of communication.
  • Identify the specific communication needs of the different groups paramedics interact with daily (patients, family, other agencies (police, fire etc), health care workers, co-workers etc.).
  • Discuss the ways communication breaks down and the common points of communication breakdown.
  • Discuss the actions to take in situations where communication has broken down.

Any input is welcomed.
