Episode 25: Paper Trails & Pitfalls - Writing EMS Reports That Hold Up

In EMS, your documentation is your defense—but are you writing reports that truly protect you and reflect your care? In this episode, we dive deep into the do’s and don’ts of EMS documentation, from avoiding common mistakes to writing clear, objective, and legally sound reports. Learn how to document refusals, describe patient behavior without bias, and ensure every PCR tells the full story. Whether you’re a new provider or a seasoned medic, this episode will sharpen your documentation skills and help you avoid the pitfalls that could come back to haunt you.

As always, if you have a story to tell—funny, wild, heartbreaking, or unforgettable—you can share it through our website. We’d love to feature it on a future episode.
