Episode 40 is here, and we’re going full term. In this episode, Mike, Max, and Jonathon tackle one of the most intimidating low-frequency, high-acuity topics in EMT school: OB/GYN emergencies. From childbirth and labor complications to gynecological emergencies and the realities of caring for two patients at once, the crew breaks down the concepts EMT students need to understand before the call comes in.

The guys also discuss the importance of preparation for rare emergencies, the challenges of learning obstetrics in EMT school, and what’s actually inside the OB kit riding on your ambulance.
