On this episode of NOON, I sit down with James “Boomer” Boomhauer, flight paramedic, mental health professional, and founder of Stay Fit 4 Duty.

James has spent more than 20 years in EMS, but this conversation goes far beyond medicine. We talk about the reality of trauma, why so many providers avoid therapy, what good mental health care actually looks like, and why finding the right therapist matters just as much as deciding to go.

You know those calls that start bad and somehow get worse?

A catastrophic crash in the Colorado Rockies. Dangerous weather. Critical patients. And a healthcare administrator putting profits ahead of lives.

Former first responder, and previous guest on NOON, D.D. Finder puts you right in the chaos in his medical thriller, Two Minutes Out. Two Minutes out is available now on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible.
