Jeremy Norton: 我在明尼阿波利斯消防队工作了23年,亲身经历了消防员工作的方方面面,包括处理各种紧急情况、应对误报、以及与同事和公众的互动。这份工作既有成就感,也有许多挑战。早期消防员生涯的社会环境较为粗暴,充满欺凌和压力,我花了数年时间才适应并找到自己的定位。消防员的工作模式通常是24小时轮班制,这给我的个人生活带来了挑战。近年来火灾数量减少,但其他类型的紧急救援需求却增加了,这给消防员带来了新的挑战。急救系统经常被滥用,这与人们对系统的理解不足以及医院和保险公司对法律责任的担忧有关。消防员经常面临误报带来的心理压力和由此产生的应对挑战。消防站的规模和人员配置通常与公众的想象存在差距。消防员的工作环境充满噪音和刺激。这份工作需要在面对各种紧急情况时保持冷静和客观,避免个人情绪影响处理方式。急救人员,特别是医护人员,由于法律责任的压力,往往会将所有情况都视为紧急情况,这导致了资源的浪费和系统效率的低下。消防员的工作很大程度上是体力劳动,需要具备解决问题的能力,同时也要注意自身的心理健康。消防员工作中存在许多挑战,包括内部冲突、行政障碍以及与公众互动的复杂性。直到2018年,我才意识到这份工作给我带来了创伤。 Nora McInerney: 这个播客旨在让人们诚实地面对生活中痛苦的部分。Jeremy Norton是一位在明尼阿波利斯消防队工作了23年的消防队长,他负责监督一线消防员。
