It's not often that we are able to time a podcast to coincide exactly with the release of a new protocol, but today we did it! Dr. Scott Avey from UCSF Fresno joins us as a guest co-host, and we were pleased to have American Ambulance Paramedic Josh Garcia join as well to bring his experience and a story from the field.

On today's podcast, we bid farewell to Ben Wiele and welcome Joey Ferreira to our usual panel of co-hosts. We were also pleased to have Dr. Brian Lawton join us to discuss the dangers of foraging for mushrooms.

American Ambulance Paramedic Elisa Bompadre joins the discussion today to share a story from the field. We were also happy to have Dr. Miranda Lewis join us again as a guest co-host. 

A huge thanks to Jamie Charlston (special friend of the pod) for sitting down with us and bringing her experience and expertise to the conversation today.
