Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the death of a child and may be difficult for some listeners.

In this deeply emotional episode of the260, we sit down with David Hughes to talk about the life and loss of his son, Drew. Together, we discuss the events surrounding Drew’s case, including concerns involving the misuse of RSI protocols and the overall management of his care.

While this conversation is heartbreaking, it also serves as an important reminder of the responsibility we carry in EMS and healthcare. Drew’s story highlights why patient advocacy, critical thinking, communication, and accountability matter on every single call.

Our hope is that this episode not only honors Drew’s memory, but also encourages meaningful conversations that help improve patient care and prevent tragedies like this from happening again.
