Episode Stupidity in EMS: The causes and remedies
You're not making mistakes because you're dumb. You're making mistakes because of seven predictable factors—and once you know them, you can control them.
Kris Kaull delivered a masterclass at FASTCAN on the hidden forces that cause even experienced paramedics to miss critical information when it matters most. This isn't about memorizing more protocols—it's about understanding the cognitive science behind high-stakes decision-making in emergency medicine.
