Medic Life is a video podcast for EMS Professionals that is hosted weekly by John Newton. Medic Life Episode 18: Christmas in the Mountains is dedicated to Wilderness EMS. I discussed some tips for Wilderness EMS and first aid. Tips for preparation for day-hikes and multiday hikes: minimum gear and what to do when lost.

In this episode I review EMS applications for Android and Apple smartphone. I give some details about each application, talk about some viewer favorites and even talk about the top paid EMS applications, per my research. You would find that plus the GT Medic in this episode. Hidden within the podcast is a way for you to win a free t-shirt.

In this week's episode "What’s vital, Stoked for Stroke, and Mental health Tips Plus the GT Medic," I talk about the minimum four vital signs we need to do for all patients, stroke identification and the FAST exam, and 10 mental health tips to get you through the holidays.

This week's episode featured an excerpt from Troy Schaffer's article "How to Jumpstart Your EMS Flight Crew Career," I discussed the propensity to utilize acronyms when plane talk works just as well, and the final segment was a discussion about MCIs/safety. The GT Medic gave us some words of wisdom to close out the episode.

I review my experience at the Texas EMS Conference and say thank you to those folks as Fort Bend County EMS, Austin-Travis EMS, ATEMS and Limmer. I am joined this week by my father-in-law Les Reed as we talk about some of our favorite Thanksgiving Day treats and discuss some tips for healthy eating and diabetics. As a finial thought we talk about burn care and the rule of nines. Happy Thanksgiving from Medic Life!!!

Medic Life Episode 13 "Holiday Nutrition and Fitness Tips" is a look at how we can make it through the holidays without gaining weight and add in some fitness. Tips on meal choices, how much to eat, how to plan meals when on shift, and ideas to improve fitness at work and at home. Enjoy the holiday season with friends and family by making good healthy choices..
