22" at the Lips is a podcast of EMS from actual in-the-field providers. We'll talk about our downfalls, our positive aspects, and all the great things about this job. It's sporadic, it's organized chaos - it's our job.
Here is a quick bonus episode to celebrate EMS week this year! In this episode, we reflect a bit on the year but mainly chat about differential diagnoses and when you don't understand what's wrong with the patient. Those can be hard calls, and I'll try to give you some advice for when you're facing that situation on a call.Produced by Master Your Medicshttps://www.masteryourmedics.com/Send us a text
I've been in this job for five years, and I have learned so much about who I am, who I want to be, the hills to die on, and how to get through to the end of the shift.There are so many things I wish I could tell baby Alexis when she was starting in the field. Even though there's much more I still need to learn, listen as I try to bestow some helpful advice as I hit the 5-year mark in the field!

Welcome back to the show, with me, I have Alexis of the super fabulous 22 at the Lips podcast. So we decided that we wanted to get together and collaborate on the topic and the infamous phrase “those who can't do, teach.”It's a very big pet peeve of mine, it's a phrase that really has no true foundation. So Alexis and I kind of have a similar background, but the opposite is why we came here. Alexis began in education and then went into EMS (and is now getting the EMS education side of things), where I began on the EMS side and then transitioned into the full-time education side.-BenListen to more of Ben and his guests on Profess EMS wherever you get your podcasts.Produced by Master Your Medicshttps://www.masteryourmedics.com/
