    John and Terence discuss the potential implications of this legislation, including how it might affect EMS protocols, training requirements, and interactions with patients and law enforcement. They also consider the balance between ensuring EMS personnel's safety and maintaining the trust and comfort of the communities they serve. With their combined expertise in EMS education and administration, they provide a nuanced analysis of how HB 975 could reshape safety measures and operational policies within North Carolina's EMS systems.

    Tune in for an insightful conversation on the evolving landscape of EMS safety and the potential impacts of this proposed legislation.
