This keynote confronts the unspoken cost of silence in EMS. We celebrate bravery, but often ignore the emotional toll behind the uniform. Dr. Orlando E Rivera pulls back the curtain on what it really means to serve in silence, challenging outdated views of resilience, exposing why current approaches fall short, and offering a bold call to shift the culture. This session is raw, honest, and necessary. It’s not about fixing broken people. It’s about finally seeing them.
