Violence against EMS clinicians is rising—but what if we could see it coming? This month's Journal Club explores Aggressive Behavior Risk Assessment Tool for EMS (ABRAT-EMS), a simple yet powerful 3-item checklist that helps identify potentially violent patients before transport. With strong sensitivity and specificity, this tool could be a game-changer for EMS safety. Tune in as our panel dives into how it works, what it means for frontline providers, and where it fits into broader violence prevention strategies.

This is the Progress Powering Tomorrow. Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast Spotlight. I'm your host, Allen Hall. As large offshore wind projects take shape off. The coast of Massachusetts and New York keeping technicians safe presents unique challenges that require innovative solutions. We are here at HeliService USA's Hangar in Rhode Island, discussing offshore wind operations, specifically emergency medical services and search and rescue capabilities. Joining us today are three leaders in emergency response, Dr. Kenneth Williams, division director of EMS and Professor of Emergency Medicine at Brown University. Michael Tosi, founder and CEO of HeliService, USA, and Paul Russo, director of Operations at HeliService USA. Together we'll be discussing their collaboration to provide comprehensive emergency medical services and search and rescue operations for a US offshore wind. Michael, let's start with you today. And thanks for the invite to come out. This is tremendous. Of Michael Tosi: course. You're welcome. Thanks for coming. Thanks for spending the time, Allen Hall: as always, when we come to HeliService. The facilities are immaculate, the aircraft are immaculate. You run a really high class operation, which is desperately needed for offshore wind in the United States, but now you're expanding into emergency services rather than just carrying technicians out to site and dropping 'em on the top of turbines, now you're looking out for their health and safety a lot more. So what does offshore wind in the US involve in terms of EMS operations? It must throw a lot of hurdles at you. How do you even approach that problem? Michael Tosi: Absolutely. Thanks for spending the time today. A thanks for coming out and I certainly appreciate the compliments. The first thing for us is always safety, and it starts with your facility, starts with making sure everything's immaculate before people get on your helicopters. Regarding EMS and Emergency Medical Services offshore this has obviously been I wouldn't go as far as to a contentious topic, but it's been one that the industry knows there's some issues with. And knew that they're gonna need a solution for it. Of course, there's always budget challenges, but the biggest issue is you have folks offshore who are isolated who are it's almost like a town out there. At any given time, there'll be a thousand, 1500, 2000 people. If you run the numbers with all the heavy lift vessels offshore. So at any given time, you're talking hundreds if not thousands of people, and they don't have an ambulance service. There is no ambulance service. Out there, there's, you don't just call 9 1 1 and have a ambulance show up. Up to this point, they've been using the Coast Guard. To a limited degree, but the problem is the Coast Guard is also not an ambulance service. The Coast Guard serves the entire region of New England with one helicopter. They are out there for folks in the water.

Doctor Tom Stein recently published his first book, Gratitude Is Not Enough, The True Story of a Belgian Family Forever Changed by a Band of American WWII Soldiers. The book focuses on the Remember Museum ‘39-‘45 in Clermont, Belgium that was opened by Marcel and Mathilde Schmetz, better known as the M&Ms by soldiers in a U.S. Army Company of the First Infantry Division who were briefly quartered on Marcel's family farm in December 1944 before the Battle of the Bulge.  Marcel saved many of the items the soldiers left behind, what he calls “treasure,” and which became the core of this special collection dedicated to the Americans who helped liberate Belgium from four years of Nazi occupation. The Museum, which is adjacent to the M&M's home, contains the requisite "stuff" of a museum, but importantly, tells the soldiers' stories, many of whom became lifelong friends with Marcel and Mathilde.  I've read Gratitude is Not Enough and can tell you it's a powerfully written account of what the people of Clermont endured during World War II and the M&Ms efforts to preserve its history in their museum. I highly recommend this book to you. Dr. Tom Stein is a retired Emergency Physician, as well as a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army Medical Corps. He completed his Emergency Medicine Residency at Darnall Army Community Hospital, Fort Hood, Texas and served thirty-eight years in the Army and Army Reserves. Emergency Medical Services and Disaster Medicine are his sub-specialties.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with Dr. Jared Ross from the Do No Harm organization. They discuss the horrifying - and true - statistics around transgender care, the 12 children's hospitals most responsible for pushing this ideology on children, the specifics of the surgeries involved, and what over 12,000 concerned physicians, victims, and citizens are doing in response. Jared has been a first responder, EMT, paramedic, firefighter, SWAT team member, and an Emergency Medical Services educator. When the organization “Do No Harm” spoke with him, he had just returned from providing on-site safety and medical services at the Arizona Flying Circus, an event with aviation, pyrotechnics, flame throwers, and firearms. The week after, he planned to work in an emergency room at a city hospital. The scope of scenarios that Jared encounters in these environments is wide, but they all have one thing in common: They are urgent. He worries the creep of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into the medical field will poison the dynamic between people in crisis and those trying to save them. This episode was filmed on October 14th, 2024  | Links | For Dr. Jared Ross: On X https://x.com/jared999?lang=en Do No Harm website https://donoharmmedicine.org/ Stop the Harm Database https://stoptheharmdatabase.com/

Remember when we learned interruptions in compressions take a long time to recover blood pressure from? And how, to avoid these, we should do continuous compressions to avoid them. And ventilations aren't all that important. Right? Right? Well, about that. Maybe the stories of the importance of continuous compressions were greatly exaggerated. Join Dr. Jarvis as he discusses the literature that led us to this point and some evidence that has led him to reconsider how his system approaches cardiac arrest. He'll eventually get around to discussion a recent paper by Dr. Rose Yin that analyzes arterial pressures during cardiac arrest that was a catalyst for him to make changes in his arrest protocols. Citations:1.

For forty years, Hal Newman worked in Emergency Medical Services. After retiring, he decided to start an online platform, The Last Ambulance, where he investigates the problems he saw in the EMS system. Messages started pouring in from EMS workers from across the country. Now his platform has become a voice for many health care and emergency service workers who are demoralized, exhausted, hanging on by a thread – and who are afraid to speak publicly about what is happening inside the system. Despite having worked in the system for so long, he didn't realize just how broken it was until he started publishing The Last Ambulance.Host: Karyn PuglieseCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), max collins (Production Manager), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Additional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading:Chaque second compte — The Last AmbulanceYet Another Preventable Tragedy in Montreal — The Last AmbulanceA Child Dies as Ambulances Stall on Quebec First Nation — The RoverQuebec Leaves Another First Nation Without an Ambulance — The RoverLong wait for medical care likely played role in death of Atikamekw baby, Quebec coroner finds — CBCSponsors: Douglas: Canadaland listeners head to https://douglas.ca/canadaland to get a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

What do you think of censorship?  It's a bizarre and uncomfortable feeling when some unelected, self-appointed anonymous party behind the curtain decides what you're not allowed to say or learn.  We live in a world where little people like us are legally responsible for every word we put online. But when our overlords in Big Tech censor potentially life-saving information, should they be held to the same standard? And who exactly decides what's true and what's not?  After I was censored and shadowbanned by multiple platforms during the pandemic, a wise friend reminded me that “the closer you are to the truth, the more likely you are to be censored.”  When incentives are upside down, big tech and the government don't censor lies, they censor the truth… and attack the reputation and livelihoods of those who dare speak it.  So if we're responsible for every word we say online, Big Tech should be held legally accountable for every word they've ever censored. Especially when it's clear that they have been intentionally suppressing honest conversations and critical, true, and timely information that could save lives. The downfalls of our current system are becoming obvious to even those with the most stubborn case of Stockholm Syndrome.  So who will hold the big tech censors, medical tyrants, half-alive politicians, and pot-bellied, turtlenecked billionaires accountable?  And how can we take back responsibility for our own health, well-being and survival?  The truth is that it's on us to build parallel systems as the current medical-industrial complex based on profit, exploitation and upside-down incentives falls apart. There are many reasons to be optimistic for the future. Our guest this week is a visionary building solutions to help reclaim our digital lives from the grip of Big Tech, prioritizing sovereignty, privacy, and freedom for individuals. Today we're here with Govinda Tidball, a former United Nations Senior Advisor with the World Food Programme and Director of the Ministry of Health in America, an organization committed to re-establishing individual health sovereignty. Govinda served as a team member of the Disrupt Hunger Global Challenge in Germany, he co-founded Sri Lanka's national Emergency Medical Service and call center, and has been involved in global counter human trafficking efforts for over fifteen years.  A man of many talents, Govinda is also a former world-class athlete, television host, radio personality, public speaker, and was even involved in the fashion industry for a time. In this episode, you'll discover: Why America's medical system is an underperforming outlier with poor outcomes and low life expectancy despite astronomical costs The promise of Web5 technology, which incorporates decentralization and privacy to combat top-down control, censorship and weaponized algorithms How to incentivize actual health, rather than the current system of running bodies through the medical system for profit Simple steps to plan ahead for economic and environmental disasters How to take back responsibility for our own health and well-being, instead of blindly following authority figures And much more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/govinda-tidball-health-sovereignty-medical-privacy-web5-technology/  Go to DetoxAmerica.us for more from Govinda Tidball and to claim your free complimentary membership.

The downfalls of our current system are becoming obvious to even those with the most stubborn case of Stockholm Syndrome.  So who will hold the big tech censors, medical tyrants, half-alive politicians, and pot-bellied, turtlenecked billionaires accountable?  And how can we take back responsibility for our own health, well-being and survival?  The truth is that it's on us to build parallel systems as the current medical-industrial complex based on profit, exploitation and upside-down incentives falls apart. There are many reasons to be optimistic for the future. Our guest this week is a visionary building solutions to help reclaim our digital lives from the grip of Big Tech, prioritizing sovereignty, privacy, and freedom for individuals. Today we're here with Govinda Tidball, a former United Nations Senior Advisor with the World Food Programme and Director of the Ministry of Health in America, an organization committed to re-establishing individual health sovereignty. Govinda served as a team member of the Disrupt Hunger Global Challenge in Germany, he co-founded Sri Lanka's national Emergency Medical Service and call center, and has been involved in global counter human trafficking efforts for over fifteen years.  A man of many talents, Govinda is also a former world-class athlete, television host, radio personality, public speaker, and was even involved in the fashion industry for a time. In this episode, you'll discover: Why America's medical system is an underperforming outlier with poor outcomes and low life expectancy despite astronomical costs The promise of Web5 technology, which incorporates decentralization and privacy to combat top-down control, censorship and weaponized algorithms How to incentivize actual health, rather than the current system of running bodies through the medical system for profit Simple steps to plan ahead for economic and environmental disasters How to take back responsibility for our own health and well-being, instead of blindly following authority figures And much more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/govinda-tidball-health-sovereignty-medical-privacy-web5-technology/  Go to DetoxAmerica.us for more from Govinda Tidball and to claim your free complimentary membership.

What do you think of censorship? It's a bizarre and uncomfortable feeling when some unelected, self-appointed anonymous party behind the curtain decides what you're not allowed to say or learn. We live in a world where little people like us are legally responsible for every word we put online. But when our overlords in Big Tech censor potentially life-saving information, should they be held to the same standard?And who exactly decides what's true and what's not?

A bill to fund Emergency Medical Services in rural Minnesota will become law today. But it may just be a short term solution to a long term problem. We'll talk to an EMS leader in Perham about the impacts this new funding will have. Policing reform changes are still unfolding four years since the murder of George Floyd. We'll break down where reform stands and what still is in the works. Many are struggling to build community and something called a “third place” may help solve that problem. A lost sled dog in the Boundary Waters finds its way home thanks to dozens of strangers. Even with a Game 1 loss, it's not nearly over for the Timberwolves. Our sports contributors will lay out a road to the finals.

Why is relying on Emergency Medical Services (EMS) liable to send your bank balance to the morgue? Michael Regilio joins us on Skeptical Sunday to find out! On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss: Unlike police and fire departments, emergency medical services (EMS) are not deemed essential across most of the US — which means they're often underfunded and struggling to provide adequate care. Insurance policies commonly omit coverage for EMS-provided ambulance rides, making them cost-prohibitive for the people who often need them the most. Even the EMTs who staff EMS outfits are underpaid and can't usually afford to make use of them without going into the red. Who profits from the status quo of the broken EMS system, and why is it so hard to enact the reforms necessary to have providers declared essential? What can we do to educate and advocate for the overhauls necessary to make EMS viable for everyone? Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
