Just Culture
Erik and Matt dig into "just culture" in EMS and the fire service — the accountability model that lets people report honest mistakes without fear, so systems get safer instead of quieter. When do you coach, when do you correct, and where's the line? This one's about building the kind of trust that actually protects patients and crews.
