Matthew Heneghan: Unfiltered

As we see a gradual ease of the COVID-19 restrictions, hopes were that a return to normalcy was not too far behind. Sadly, what followed the residents of B.C., was more adversity.

Wildfires are raging throughout the province, and as if that was not bad enough, 5 trades workers lost their lives in a tragic accident in downtown Kelowna.

I share my thoughts on these heroes and more on today's episode of the podcast.

Today (July 6th) is historically a tough day for me. It holds on a painful reminder of what was taken some years ago. And on each passing year, I try my best to share stories and experiences that I had with a hero...

On July 6th of 2008, Private Colin WIlmot was killed while on mission in Afghanistan. I knew this man. Served with this man. Drank beer, shared laughs and even cried with this man. He was and remains one of the most important figures in my life.

And to segue on from there, I light the Blue Jays baseball club up for their apathy and disregard for one of their city's heroes. Stick around and have a listen to this episode of, A Medic's Mind.

On this episode we discuss the macabre sense of humor that is often concatenates itself to first responders. I share some anecdotes and opinion on the matter in hopes of peeling away some of the obfuscating nature of what dark humor is, and why it is so vital to those in service.

With the abomination of heat that we currently find ourselves suffering through right now, it felt like the right time to release a summer themed episode. Again, this one on the lighter end of the spectrum. So, I think it would not be horrible advice to say; go grab a beverage, a nice cold beverage, sit back and allow me to inform you of a place I know hauntingly as: The Creeper house!

This past weekend I experienced camping for the first time since I was in the army. I also experienced another first in camping with children. Which is a whole other ballgame.

Join me on this episode as I breakdown the good, the bad and the downright ugly of it all.

Summer is fast approaching and that means, heat, long days, warm nights and of course... memories. For me, Summer's can be tough to navigate. But this year I am trying out something a little different—instead of angrily staring back at the sun or trying to hide from it—I am going to embrace it! Relive, reexperience and retell my life's more, lighthearted moments spent beneath the cascading sun.

And today's episode is the start of that trend!

Enjoy!

This episode contains a blog read from my most recent blog post over at amedicsmind.com. As the days get longer and the heated days of summer approach, being back home in B.C., I can't help but to ruminate just a little bit. This was one of the funniest stories that I have ever had the privilege of recording for the podcast. I hope you enjoy it.

On this episode I have a blog read about an event that took place recently for me. Being in a relationship can be difficult. Being in a relationship with PTSD can at times be even more so...
