Nick Nudell returns one year following his debut appearance on my debut episode of my podcast. We get right into it, discussing EMS as an essential service, volunteerism, rural overtime, degrees for paramedics, the fire/EMS paradigm, and what paramedics need to do to become a profession. No stone is left unturned! One correction to a statistic mentioned within the episode- I cited 15% as the percentage of paramedics working full time in the field. This number is closer to 30% according to pooled sources.

Dr. Brandon Morshedi is a humble, unassuming physician and medical director who is in a significant position of influence, both locally and nationally. He is also ahead of the curve as far as keeping up with educational trends and harnessing the power of those trends keep providers invested in that education. We discuss his position on the National Association OF EMS Physicians, recent positions NAEMSP has taken on subject like pelvic binders and spinal immobilization, the rise of the social media educator, and how that impacts EMS education.

New Orleans EMS has been making headlines. But not for the reasons they SHOULD be making headlines. Bill Salmeron, the chief and director for New Orleans EMS joins me to tell me what New Orleans EMS is doing RIGHT, and acknowledging that whatever struggles New Orleans EMS has isn't a unique or localized problem. EMS is struggling. Not meeting response times is indicative of how outdated using response times as a benchmark of performance is to begin with. Recruitment and retention is a nationwide problem. Compensation is a nationwide problem. The social safety net that EMS becomes is not specific to New Orleans. But what IS specific to New Orleans is their early adoption of a blood/component program. They published the receipts and demonstrated how an EMS services rises above whatever challenges it faces and does right for the community it serves. Bill was also able to confirm that on the very day we recorded he secured increased compensation for his people!

S2 E10: New Day in NOLA

Gavin Istre has done his bid for king and country and has come out a little worse for wear. After having served in an historic and storied city of New Orleans and starring on the EMS Reality show "Nightwatch", Gavin now finds himself in a position thousands of other providers have found themselves in- unable to continue give to a field that has taken everything. We also explore the enduring legacy of Nightwatch in the reels age, where social media has given Nightwatch clips new life and unfortunately- increased scrutiny. We also directly address a widely seen clip that I myself criticized in one of my reels.

You sent"One does not simply have a 3 minute conversation with Jeff Jarvis on airway management." This was supposed to be a reel. But, like Dr. Jarvis, I can talk about this stuff all day. So 20 minutes later it became a podcast on airway management in cardiac arrest. I try to hit all of the beats I can when it comes to being practical and pragmatic with our approach, and I don't avoid putting our training paradigm under the microscope. Dr. Jarvis is an airway guru and die-hard intubation enthusiast, so his admission to what our challenges are, and what our practice should probably be is sobering.

In Episode 2, I wanted Maya to take us out with a story from the Grodeyo Rodeo. But I am dedicated to keeping my Episodes at a 20 minute length. So here is a bonus Episode with Maya with an awesome story. I also spoke with Maya briefly about the fact that her stories are an example of how we can take this trauma that we are exposed to on a daily basis, and find cathartic ways to deal with it that aren't toxic and that don't reflect poorly on us as providers.

Episode 2b: The Grodeyo Rodeo with Maya Wanderlust

Maya and I talk about the disconnect between how you're performing, and how you think you're being perceived. Are you just really clever but not actually who you say you are, or who you're perceived to be? Maya and I explore that feeling and how to work with it.
