“It Makes You Shine a Little Bit Less Bright” — Why Paramedics Stopped Reporting Violence

Violence against paramedics didn’t just affect work — it followed people home. In this clip, Mandy Johnston (EVAP founder) shares the most overwhelming insight from frontline survey data: paramedics didn’t describe how violence impacted their “work life” — they described how it impacted their personal life, their morale, and their desire to return to work. One line stood out: “It makes you shine a little bit less bright.” We also break down the brutal cycle that kept violence normalized in healthcare for years: “Nothing can prevent it” So people don’t report No data exists Employers can’t act Police never see the full picture And the culture stays stuck This is the moment where EVAP became more than a workgroup — it became a roadmap for culture change. Full episode: The Inflection Point — Mandy Johnston on EVAP, reporting culture, and building real system accountability.
