  Kevin is one of the most badass nurses I have had the pleasure of chatting with. He has so much knowledge around pediatric patients and is making a difference every day at work. Please download and review on Spotify/Apple and share your feedback! It means a lot.

  My older son was riding his skateboard and took a tumble and broke his collarbone. While he was in the ER, at least 4 healthcare workers thanked him for wearing a helmet.

  What a beautiful interview!  I think this is my favorite one so far.  My daughter struggled with self harm and suicidal ideation, and first responders like this have saved her life.  The most amazing thing was when a social worker pulled me aside and said "How are YOU doing?  How can we support you?"  Nobody had ever asked me that before, and it meant so much to me.

  My oldest stepson nearly dies skateboarding because he wasn&apos;t wearing a helmet. He survived, but my husband came home and sobbed.<br><br>My daughter was born with congenital scoliosis. She had titanium rod&apos;s screwed into her spine. When she was 13, one of the rods broke. She had x-rays done and I took them to work to prove why I needed to take time off work. I showed the first photo to my boss and said well, everything looks normal. He was floored at the images.

  That stuff about getting your kid to wear a helmet when bicycling or skateboarding really hit home. My son was riding down a steep hill on his bike and a car ran a stop sign right in front of him. He jammed on the brakes and flipped over coming down head first and putting a huge dent in his helmet. He was taken by helicopter unconscious to Children’s Hospital and he was ok, just a bit concussed. The doc gave him his helmet and told him “You’re alive because of this. Go home and get another one.”

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLEtOd8Azjo&amp;t=1880">31:20</a> Once in the 80s or 90s, my dad was in the ER for something. While he was sitting on the bed waiting to be seen, he heard a woman on the other side of the curtain say, &quot;You will NEVER put an M&amp;M up your nose again.&quot;

  Crazy motorcycle story...my youngest daughter was riding down the road on her motorcycle and a pickup truck, going the opposite way, hit a deer and flung the deer into my daughters bike and caused her to wreck. Thank God she had on all of the proper gear and just suffered some bad bruising. Her helmet, jacket and boots worked to save her from road rash and worse! ❤

  My FIL had on a helmet and a full suit of Kevlars when his motorcycle was hit by an inattentive driver. His bike gas tank exploded and he nearly died from smoke inhalation.

  My wife works with this guy and can vouch for his badassery! She was there for some of those cases. But she&apos;s not a nurse nor an MSW, but she yells at those guys to take care of themselves on the regular!

  Medical workers are like military people, they are badass MF&apos;s. So are all first responders like policemen, firefighters. Also hell yeah for teachers.

  When I was a fourth year med student, I did a rotation at the Children&apos;s Hospital in Oakland (about 1983). I remember seeing more kids with sickle cell or cystic fibrosis than I&apos;ve ever seen in my entire Pedi career in Texas. On the other hand, we had a lot more kids with parasitic infections in Texas.
