EMS 20/20 Simulcast - Split the Party
This one’s different—and honestly, one of the most fun (and chaotic) things we’ve ever done.
The RideAlong crew teamed up with EMS 20/20 for a special simulcast episode where EMS meets Dungeons & Dragons. Guided by Chris and Spencer, we were dropped into a high-stakes, dice-driven scenario that quickly spiraled into full-blown EMS chaos.
What started as a straightforward cardiac arrest turned into a two-patient nightmare, tough decision-making, and the kind of curveballs you only get in real EMS—or a tabletop scenario run by EMS 20/20.
This episode is a mix of education, improvisation, and a lot of laughs… but underneath it all is a real look at teamwork, scene management, and thinking under pressure when everything goes sideways.
Huge thanks to EMS 20/20 for having us on—go give them a follow and check out their show.
