In this Quik Crit episode, we dive into two powerhouse medications that every EMS provider should understand: TXA and Pitocin. We walk through how each med supports bleeding control in both trauma and postpartum emergencies, why timing and assessment matter, and how knowing the pharmacology behind them builds real confidence in the field. From mechanisms and dosing to contraindications, safety pearls, and practical prehospital considerations, this episode focuses on getting comfortable with the tools that can make or break early intervention. If you want a clearer picture of when, why, and how to deploy these meds, this one is for you.

Whether you’re a new paramedic, an EMT, or just someone who loves learning from the streets, this is a must-listen reminder that the only real mistake in medicine is not learning from the ones you make!

Welcome back to the TheNewlyMeds podcast. Every medic knows the feeling: you walk in, the vitals look good, the patient’s talking, and everything seems fine… but something just doesn’t feel right.

In this episode of The NewlyMeds Podcast, Dan and Will are joined by fellow new paramedic Devon to talk about the red flags that too often get missed in the field. They dig into how pattern recognition, tunnel vision, fatigue, and familiarity can cloud your judgment and how to stay sharp when every call starts to look the same.

You’ll hear real stories from the field. Near misses, surprise diagnoses, and lessons learned the hard way, including: • When a “routine weakness” turned out to be sepsis • Why “just not feeling right” might be the scariest chief complaint of all • How overconfidence can blind you to what’s right in front of you • And how to stay humble, curious, and alert no matter how long you’ve been on the truck
