Magnesium is one of the most crucial minerals in our body. It regulates muscle contractions, stimulation of nerves in the central nervous system, and has been shown to improve cardiac outcomes for patients for years. Why isn't it used more in pre-hospital and traditional care?

The one thing that we all struggle with in this field is psyche patients. When we are called to a home at 2am for someone who is suicidal or placing someone on a 72 hour hold, our first few moments are what sets the tone for all of their care from that moment on. Not only that but how we interact with them during those first few moments will make them more or less willing to accept the care they need. What do you think is the best approach to these patients? What would be your advise to the new paramedics and nurses during their first few interactions with this kind of patient?
