April 01, 2022 "The eye doesn't see what the mind doesn't know" Abuse, Neglect and Human Trafficking Recognition in EMS with Michael McHenry, PhD
Send us Fan Mail
Do you feel like you have all the training you need on child abuse, neglect and human trafficking recognition? Yeah, me either! I sit down with Michael McHenry, Forensic Interviewer/CPS Investigator, with the State of Washington. I can't even sum up the HUGE amount of information that Michael was able to provide in this episode. He was able to clear up numerous misconceptions about EMS and what happens when we report possible abuse and neglect, and give use so easy to remember tools like the "Ten-4" rule to recognize possible abuse. This will be one of those episodes you will want to share with everyone in your agency. We are all mandated reporters and yet, most times, are lacking what is needed to report it! Please share this and save lives!

April 01, 2022 Jump Seat Leadership with Joshua Chase
Send us Fan Mail
I got the honor to sit down with Lt. Josh Chase and talk about his book! Josh Chase is a fire Lieutenant with Norfolk Fire Rescue, and is a 16 year veteran of the fire service. He has a passion for leadership and strengthening firefighters to lead at the informal level. Josh is also the recipient of the Fire Service Medal of Honor which he received in 2019 after rescuing a child from a two alarm apartment fire. Josh has authored a couple of books with his latest book being Jump Seat Leadership: The guide to informal leadership in the fire service. He believes in leading yourself before leading others and that you do not need a bugle to lead in the fire service. Aside from the fire service, his leadership abilities were developed and tested while he served as a Sergeant in the United States Army. He served as a crew chief and door gunner for Black Hawk helicopters in western Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. During his military career he was awarded multiple medals for his service, to include the Army air medal for meritorious service during aerial combat operations. Through his military service, fire service career, and his life experience, he hopes to strengthen, encourage and empower others to embrace leadership as a core principle to succeed in any venue. He aims to teach others to take the lead, stay engaged, and develop a don’t quit mentality.

February 01, 2022 "People Care" with Author Thom Dick
Send us Fan Mail
Our texts don't tell us about the biggest challenges we'll always face in medicine. People Care does.
During a 44-year career as an EMT, paramedic and EMS thought leader, Thom Dick authored more than 500 articles and four books advocating for sick people and their caregivers. His most recent book is People Care: Perspectives & Practices for Emergency Caregivers 3rd edition. Based on input from dozens of seasoned caregivers, it's a primer for taking care of sick people and their caregivers. His book changed the way I provided care to patients, and I hope by hearing what he was to say, it does the same for you!

February 01, 2022 Mayday on the Highway: Could This Happen to You?
Send us Fan Mail
This was by far the hardest episode for me to record to date. I am joined by my friend and fellow FF Glen Shady. This was so hard, because Glen was driving an emergency vehicle and was stuck by an another car, killing its three occupants. Glenn unpacks the seconds leading up to crash, the events that unfolded after, the investigation, and dealing with the emotional side affects. As his friend, I am thankful that him or all other first responders are alive, sadden by the loss of life that occurred and thankful that he is able to share with us his story.
