Participants will have to participate and focus on the important questions of:

Why are we here today, in this job, in my department?
What is this job?
Who do we/I serve?
Am I doing my best?
Who is at fault?
Why are we paid less?
Why do we provide EMS?
Why do we provide EMS transport?
When did I last train myself, my crew?
