Medic Materials Podcast

A follow up to our last episode "Stuck In The Mud" we discuss a new vision for EMS education. How can we create success in the classroom, techniques to use for engaging your students and much more for the EMS educator & student.

Are the curmudgeons ruining the future of the EMS industry? In their eagerness to hold onto their past they are endangering the lives of the patients in the present.

We answer the most important question to date. Do fruit loops taste the same or are they different flavors? LOL Our patient today drowns his sorrows in a milky bowl of fruity o's!

Is an armed EMS provider on the horizon? Hear our arguments for and against the idea that EMS providers should carry a firearm for their own protection.

We stump the show with this patient presentation. But worse then that is the fact that the EMTs involved are fully baptized in the city EMS culture of, you call... we haul... and nothing else....

Ever think that your patient is too wild for the back of your ambulance? Why not kick them out! That is exactly what happens to this patient. We discuss the aftermath & ways to protect EMS providers going forward.

When you don't have the training & don't know what else to do, you scramble & accomplish nothing. These providers are caught unprepared & overwhelmed. A normal life is turned on it's head in this episode of the Medic Materials Podcast.

The symptoms are straightforward & the outcome is predictable, however the gut wrenching actions of this paramedic make it a worthy review.

Celebrating our 75th episode meet a crew that can not be bothered by their patient, the medical emergency in front of them or the EMT student they're with.

We take a look at a wild news article involving a crew who decided their chicken sandwiches were more important than the chest pain patient they were responding to.
