ParaMericans Podcast

Ah, yes. The age old question. What really is the difference between an EMT and a Paramedic? Why is it that a very small percentage of the population understand the difference? Join the ParaMericans crew as we do some deep soul searching to try and bring the answers to these questions to light. Special guest appearance by Jim Eagle himself. Don't miss it!

Another mandated training?! You're damn right it is. If you don't watch/listen to this podcast, you'll be fired. Expand your mind with the Paramericans crew as we talk with our friend and mentor, Megan Bernstein, NRP, MICP. Don't sell yourself short; embrace life-long learning. Education shouldn't stop once you finish your initial training, this podcast sure doesn't. We all know fellow paramedics/EMTs who scoff at furthering their education because (insert BS excuse here). Just sit down. Shut up. And enjoy the podcast...it's worth 999 CEUs...not really...but it should be.

When prompted with the curious question, "Why did you get into EMS? (nursing, medical practice, etc..)" most of us instinctually respond with "To help people!" Is it really? Or is it just a knee-jerk, altruistic response we regurgitate to hide the dark side of our adrenaline seeking lifestyles? Join us as we discuss this very question brought to light by the international bestselling book "War Doctor: Surgery on the Front Line" by David Nott. Also, Jeremiah stepped in human poo and Steve has brain damage.

Paramedic Michael Edlund joins us as we struggle to smoke cigars while casually discussing life, NJ's Advanced Care Paramedic proposal and the future of paramedic licensure. Find out what random EMS conversations occur behind closed doors in the first iteration of a segment we uncreatively dubbed; The Ready Room. Mike is definitely a human Stretch Armstrong btw.

Join us while we indulge in true yard breathing life-style. Learn why EMS is often referred to as the "red-headed stepchild" of emergency services. Things get a little heated while we share our personal encounters/experiences in the medical field and we discuss our personal opinions of what we, as a whole, can do to fix this big dysfunctional family. So get comfortable, press play, and stay together for the kids!

Today's Podcast is all about nutrition/intuitive eating and ways we can implement nutrition in EMS. Our guest, Gabby Terzano has a M.S. in Nutrition, and is a non-diet based nutritionist. Join us as we discus her views on nutrition and how we can be healthier in a field where you never know when your next meal will be. Check her out on Instagram @livelaughyum and her blog, livelaughyum.com. Gabby is also has a program about intuitive eating and finding your food freedom which will be coming out September 7th called "Love Food Again"!

Grab a seat, indulge in your favorite EMS induced addiction, and let us be your Critical Incident Stress Debriefing. Join us as we slap burnout in it's ugly, partially disfigured face only a mother could love, while we talk about how we deal with stress. Who knows, maybe we'll introduce you to a less destructive addiction!

Welcome to the first ever ParaMerican podcast! Today we talk about being the "new guy", video games, how COVID-19 effects our jobs as Paramedics, and some pretty awesome looking safety glasses/sunglasses that even Macho Man Randy Savage would approve. SAFETY BROTHER, OH YEAH!
