Thanks for listening to the EMS Show! Make sure you are subscribed! We appreciate you so much!

Just like you, the boys have a million things going on, so they did what every other 12 year old does...take the summer off! Yep, they are back though....time to get back in the saddle and bring what everyone wants...a little catch up time, a bit of Buprenorphine, a little no surpises act, and billing conversation.....join us! oh, by the way, did you know all the podcast platforms will unsubscribe you? yep, go double-check and make sure you are still an EMS Show Subscriber!

Ritu rode solo on this one...Mike was there, but just in the background....but, we welcome back Randy and Jason Sklar to the show! Boy have they been busy, go check out their website https://www.supersklars.com and see what they have been up to. We are so thankful these guys take the time to come and hang out with us. THANK YOU! and Happy late EMS Week!

We had a great discussion with the banana man himself! An emergency and EMS physician who is involved in so much cool stuff, you have to listen! Sharks? Spiders? Snakes? USAR? All of it! 

Clever name huh? Well, this crossover is a little light on the paramedic and heavy on the medical directors....but you know....its all good

(Dr. Jarvis) Man, did we have fun recording this one. I found myself in a hotel room in Ashland, Oregon with Drs. Ed Racht, Maia Dorsett, and Ritu Sahni talking about Sepsis. We decided this would make for a great crossover episode with The EMS Show, minus our buddy Mikey V. Anytime I get together with this group of friends, I always have fun. We discuss a new sepsis trial but also discuss the OG sepsis paper, Dr. River's Early Goal Direct Therapy and discuss the cautionary tale of performance measures gone awry. We also hit on using EtCO2 as a surrogate for lactate in sepsis and collectively decide Dr. Dorsett is a rockstar.
