Every EMS provider is familiar with the tongue-in-cheek acronym EMS: Earn Money Sleeping. This playful jab highlights a pervasive issue within the profession—widespread laziness that has reached alarming levels. We uncover the harsh reality of this laziness epidemic, exploring its root causes and telltale signs when a provider succumbs to the "lazy bug." We also offer practical solutions for both individuals and administrators to address the problem. Joined by Mike (NYS AEMTP, CIC), Gerard (NC AEMTP), and Emily (Flight RN, NYS EMTB).

We consistently see the same teaching habits by the same instructors that are holding onto their past glory. Never striving to get out of their own self built rut.

Hear from Mike (NY AEMT-P, CIC, AHA), Tammy (NC EMT-B, CLI), Johnny Mac (NY AEMT-P, CIC, AHA)and Gerard (NC AEMT-P).

Ever wonder why EMS education is stagnant, bland, unoriginal & can't seem to prepare students for the taking an EMS job? We discuss the toils of EMS education and the lack of vision within the classroom. Many of us struggled to get through class, and felt completely unprepared to take a job in the field. We consistently see the same teaching habits by the same instructors that are holding onto their past glory. This is a part 1 to a two part discussion on the dire state that is the current EMS education model. Head from Mike (NY AEMT-P, CIC, AHA), the Phil Foundation (NY AEMT-P), and Gerard (NC AEMT-P).

After seeing a recent JEMS article we had to discuss the idea of an armed EMS provider. This is a can of worms that if opened gives us more questions then answers. We tackle trust and training, need vs desire, agency or individual, cost and legal, and many other subjects in this hot button topic. What is your opinion? Should EMS providers be armed for their protection and the protection of their patient? Hear from Mike Turek (AEMT-P, CIC), Emily Yates (RN, EMT-B) & Gerard Cuomo (AEMT-P).

We review a fairly benign call today that has the panel completely stumped! Gerard dives into his past a bit and gives a great lesson on plant life. Oh! And Gerard and the Maha have some strong thoughts on this EMS crews lack of professionalism and capacity to fulfill their job description. Hear from Mike (NYS AEMT-p, CIC), Gerard (NC AEMT-P) & the Maha Butchie (NYS AEMT-P).

Ever have one of those shifts where  nothing seems to go right? Today's Karen found out the hard way that sometimes you must overlook your patients behavior & ask yourself why are they behaving like that. Facts on this case are still being investigated. All commentary is our own & not based on the facts of this case. Joined by Mike (NYS AEMT-P, CIC), Gerard (NC AEMT-P) & Kelly (Clinical Coordinator).

Oh what a way to start the fourth year of the show! This crew scrambles but never actually accomplishes much on their terrifying scene. A few simple oversights and some actual training could have gone a long way to help this mother and infant. Hear from Mike (NY AEMT-P, CIC), Gerard (NC AEMT-P) & Emily (NY EMT-B, RN).

A paramedic faces a patient with significant shortness of breath and no help! The symptoms are clear, & we can all see the natural progression of this disease process.
