Link to video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/QWLnKjrpcuAJoin me for a fascinating conversation with documentary filmmaker Paula Eiselt, the Emmy-nominated, Peabody- and DuPont-Columbia award-winning director behind 93 Queen, Aftershock, and Under God.In this interview, we dive into her groundbreaking film 93 Queen, which tells the story of Hasidic women in Boro Park who founded their own all-female EMS service. In a community where Hatzalah, the all-male emergency response team, is seen as the crown jewel, this move sparked intense debate and resistance. Paula's film goes far beyond the surface narrative of women breaking barriers—it offers an intimate, nuanced portrait of Hasidic women's lives, struggles, and determination.We also talk about Paula's creative journey, her upcoming film We Met at Grossinger's (premiering in late 2025), and what it means to tell stories that sit at the intersection of tradition, change, and human complexity.

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫快递行业到底有没有护城河？来自佛洛依德-彪。很多人说快递这行没护城河，觉得没什么技术含量，谁想进来就能分走一块市场。但我真不这么看。在我眼里，快递行业最值钱、最关键的东西，是那张铺满全国的物流网。现在大家只看到行业里剩下的那几家公司，近几年印象深的新玩家也就极兔。可你们知道极兔为了进来花了多少钱吗？融资快到 55 亿美元了！这概念就相当于，把韵达和申通两家公司全部买下来的钱，差不多就这么多！再看极兔现在赚多少钱？上半年净利润还不到一个亿，从2020年进来到现在，好几年了还在赚不赚钱的边缘徘徊。资本市场投钱的人又不傻，为啥还愿意持续砸钱？再说说这几年没做成 “起网” 的例子：2022 年丰网搞全国网络，最后亏了 20 多个亿；2017 年天天快递更惨，亏了 75 个亿；以前国内排前十的东道物流，也说倒就倒了，这样的例子可不止一个。现在能把全国网铺起来的就是三通一达加极兔，都是早年土地、厂房还没那么贵的时候，抓住机会做成的。有人还说快递没护城河，可没护城河得看怎么说 —— 要是说行业内部几家公司没拉开特别大的差距，那有可能；但要是外面的人想进来分杯羹，那可太难了！没有三五百亿，想把全国网铺起来根本不现实。而且人家现存的几家公司，自己能赚钱造血，早就习惯了在赚不赚钱的线上拼刺刀，新进来的哪扛得住这种折腾？也有人觉得快递是 “苦生意”，但 “苦” 不 “苦”、有没有护城河，得看对谁来说。在行业内部，可能还能讨论下有没有护城河；可对想从外面进来的人来说，单是把全国这张网搭起来，没几百亿根本没戏。第一，搭全国物流网，是件又费钱又复杂的事。首先得砸钱搞基础设施，比如建转运中心、租仓库、设配送点。就说转运中心吧，选在哪儿得考虑交通方便不方便、能覆盖多大范围、地价贵不贵，建一个大的转运中心可能就要好几亿，还得买先进的分拣机器、运货的卡车。像顺丰，到 2024 年已经有 1.8 万多亩物流园的地，还有差不多 300 套自动化设备，光是前期投的这些钱，就把门槛抬得特别高。从花钱的数能看出来，各家快递在固定资产上投了不少。2024 年圆通为了让运转更有效率，一直往转运中心这些设施上砸钱，手里的固定资产越来越多。这种大笔的投入，不光一开始要花很多钱，后续维护、升级还得持续掏钱，新进来的根本扛不住。其次，人工成本也少不了。快递行业得靠大量的人干活，从送快递的、分拣包裹的，到管事儿的，需要一大帮人。国家邮政局的数据显示，2024 年全国快递件数有 1750.8亿件，比上年多了21.5%，这么多包裹要送，背后得有几百万工作人员。新进来的想在全国招到专业、能干的快递团队，不光不好招人，还得付不少工资。比如 2024 年申通为了让服务更好，在员工培训、发奖金上花了不少钱，人工成本在总开销里占的比例可不小。另外，搭好网还得管好。想让包裹在全国顺畅地转、按时送到，得规划好路线、有好用的信息系统，每个环节还得配合好。顺丰用的是 “直营” 模式，从收件到派件全流程自己管，2024 年小件中转效率提高了 13%，大件提高了 8.5%，这背后全靠强大的管理能力。可新进来的刚开始做，很难马上建出这么高效的管理体系，很容易出现包裹丢了、送晚了的情况，客户不满意，自然就很难站稳脚。第二，相对于新玩家来说，老玩家的优势在于自己能赚钱，还能扛竞争。现在留在行业里的几家快递，这么多年在市场里拼杀，早就有了自己 “造血” 的能力 ,就是能稳定赚钱。拿 2024 年的数据来说，A 股和港股的 8 家主要上市快递，总共赚了 7911.37 亿元的收入，比23年多了 12.06%；净利润有 355.84 亿元，比23年涨了 93.67%，就连之前一直不怎么赚钱的极兔，也开始盈利了。顺丰 2024 年净利润有 101.70 亿元，创了上市以来的新高，重新回到快递行业第一的位置。它靠的是送得快的高端件和综合物流服务，在市场里有自己的独特优势。比如在需要快送的市场里，顺丰和 EMS 加起来占了超过 60% 的份额，而且顺丰是自己管全流程，能保证服务质量。2023 年顺丰光靠时效快的快递业务，就赚了 1154.6 亿元占总营收的 45%，市场份额 63.9%，比第二名 EMS 多了 30 多个百分点。能稳定赚钱，它就有足够的钱优化网络、提升服务、拓展业务，优势越来越大。圆通、韵达、申通这些 “通达系”，虽然不像顺丰主打高端件，主要做电商的快递，但也靠规模大、能控制成本赚到了钱。2024 年圆通净利润 40.12 亿元，韵达 19.14 亿元，申通更猛，净利润比23年涨了 205.24%，到了 10.40 亿元。它们通过优化流程、用更多自动化设备减少成本，同时借着电商发展的东风，送的包裹越来越多，形成了 “越送越多、越送越能赚” 的循环。在抢客户方面，老玩家也有优势。这么多年下来，积累了不少稳定客户，品牌也有知名度。比如电商退货的业务，现在电商退货越来越多，成了快递必争的一块肥肉。丰巢的招股书里说，它 95% 的收入都来自电商退货，靠这个上半年才开始赚钱。现在 “三通一达” 和极兔，在电商退货市场里各占差不多 10% 的份额。老玩家靠多年的服务和口碑，早就把客户稳住了，新进来的想抢客户，短时间内根本做不到。第三，快递行业对于新玩家来说，门槛太高，对老玩家威胁小。别看快递好像谁都能做，其实新进来的要面对好多难关。除了前面说的搭网要花很多钱，政策也卡得严。快递行业管得比较紧，得拿到经营许可，还得满足安全、环保等要求。比如送快递的车，得符合环保标准，还得遵守交通规则；送快递的速度、准确率，也得达到国家邮政局的要求。新进来的要办这些手续、满足这些要求，得花不少时间和精力，成本又增加了。再看市场份额，现在国内快递市场基本被几家大公司垄断了，前六家公司就占了超过 80% 的市场。这种情况下，新进来的想从老玩家手里抢生意，得付出大代价。打价格战是常用的招，但老玩家规模大、能控制成本，降价也扛得住。比如 “通达系” 这么多年下来，每送一个包裹的成本控制得很低，新进来的想比它们便宜，根本不现实。第四，快递在技术方面，虽然不是高科技行业，但现在也越来越依赖技术了。比如顺丰自己开发的信息系统，从分配订单到最后送件，全流程都能数字化管理；圆通用了人工智能，运输成本、分拣成本分别降了 9.4% 和 5.4%。新进来的想达到这种技术水平，得花很多钱搞研发、招技术人才，难度很大。至于快递行业有没有外来威胁，目前来看还没啥大问题。虽然有人担心电商会自己搞物流，不找第三方快递了，但电商想搭全国物流网，同样要面对前面说的那些难题，而且现在快递和电商已经合作得很稳定了，短时间内很难改变。总的来说，快递行业不是没有护城河。那张铺遍全国的网，加上老玩家能自己赚钱、能控制成本、有稳定客户和品牌，这些加起来就是一道很难跨过去的坎。新进来的想打破现在的格局，得面对钱、技术、管理、竞争等好多难题，所以快递行业虽然竞争激烈，但整体格局还是比较稳的。

This week on Inside EMS, Chris Cebollero welcomes Patrick Pianezza — former EMS Leadership podcast co‑host, paramedic and co-writer on the new action-comedy EMS film ‘Code 3.' Pianezza teamed up with writer Christopher Leone to push for authenticity, insisting on medical accuracy and avoiding cliches — no guns‑in‑ambulance heroics, no patients as punchlines. There are scenes that will make medics say, “That's us!” — from nursing home calls to behavioral health crises, the pressures from society, as well as moments many will recognize in their gut. For EMS professionals, this is about being seen, valued and having your story told well. For everyone else, it's an invitation to look deeper at the people showing up to help you on your worst day. Memorable quotes “What I really care about, what I want people to take away from the movie, especially if you're still actively doing the job, is that they feel recognized. They feel seen, they feel like we did them justice.” — Patrick Pianezza “CPR is so terribly shown on screen that we were committed to like, at least one movie's gonna get it right.” — Patrick Pianezza “There is a heart to it that I think is universal and speaks to not just people who do the job, but for outsiders to get a view into this world and be like, ‘Oh, so that's what this job is.'” — Patrick Pianezza Additional resources: Burnout, bravery and gratitude: The story behind ‘Code 3' Why ‘Code 3' might be the most honest EMS film yet ‘Code 3': A love letter to fire and EMS Enjoying the show?

Just a Little Salt: Patrick Pianezza on ‘Code 3,' EMS Realism and Mental Health   In this debut episode of Just a Little Salt, former paramedic and co-writer Patrick Pianezza shares the story behind the upcoming film “Code 3,” releasing September 12. Drawing on over a decade in EMS, Patrick reveals how a college creative writing assignment transformed into a heartfelt, medically accurate portrayal of a 24-hour shift's highs and lows. He discusses the film's unapologetic look at EMS challenges—including burnout, mental health struggles and systemic issues—while preserving dark humor and camaraderie that help first responders cope. Patrick also reflects on working closely with actors to capture authentic medical procedures and the importance of educating the public about the skill behind EMS work. Wrapping up with encouragement for aspiring writers, he offers raw insight into perseverance, creativity, and gratitude toward those who serve on the front lines.

  Welcome to the Prehospital Emergency Care Journal Podcast! In this PEC Podcast Deep Dive, Rebecca Cash and Maia Dorsett interview Dr. Tony Fernandez about his recent PEC paper comparing initial prehospital adenosine doses of 6 mg versus 12 mg for presumed SVT. We explore the study's origins, dataset design, and results—including the finding that starting with 12 mg was associated with higher rates of cardioversion and fewer redoses without an increase in complications. Along the way, we discuss the quirks of EMS data, why some “standard” practices exist without strong evidence, and how retrospective studies fit into the bigger picture of protocol change. For those whose interest in study methods was piqued, here's a great short primer on odds ratios versus relative risk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWtzaKYFg00&t=175s Featured Article Fernandez, A.

When OK EG enters Varden it's 8:30PM on Sunday. It's been a slow and steady build during the day, much slower than the day before, people have been given time to rest properly from a late night on Saturday. This is the journey. The ebb and flow of the forest. It's their job to get the crowd going for the last couple of interval sprints. They are well rested and ready. OK EG's expansive sound is deep and diverse. Their compositions display a range that shifts between delicate, textural soundscapes, and spiralling, mesmerizing, mind-trip techno. They first went to Monument festival in 2024, taking a break from a residency at EMS in Stockholm to spend a weekend in the forest. They brought a field recorder with them and spent time on the riverbank recording the sound of stones and water. And listen to this level of dedication; while preparing for their live set in 2025, they used those recordings to write a closing track called Monument Stone. This is what they said about it. ”In the moment of performing it at the festival, we felt that everything came together. The crowd, the music and the site connected and it happened just as we'd imagined it.” During their set day turns to dusk. We transition together, ready for the night - the sound, nature, forest and lights. Hand in hand. Follow https://soundcloud.com/okegmusic https://www.instagram.com/okegmusic/

In this episode of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence sits down with Patrick Pianezza, co-writer of the new EMS film “Code 3”, a deeply honest and compelling portrayal of life on the ambulance. The film stars Rainn Wilson (“The Office”), Lil Rel Howery (“Free Guy”) and Aimee Carrero (“Elena of Avalor”), delivering a powerful performance that captures both the pressures and the humanity of EMS work. Using real-world experiences and stories from the field, “Code 3” highlights the passion, dedication and emotional toll experienced by EMS professionals every day. From burnout, to systemic challenges, the movie invites the public into the high-stakes world of emergency medical services, showing both the challenges and the heart behind the uniform. Patrick and Rob discuss not only the storytelling process, but also the personal experiences that informed the movie. Pianezza candidly shares the emotional toll of EMS work, the reality of burnout and the importance of mental health support for first responders. This episode is both a celebration of the dedication of those who serve in 911 and a call for awareness and gratitude for the vital work they perform. “Code 3” opens in selected cinemas on Sept. 12, 2025. Memorable quotes “I remember going to one of my old bosses and saying, ‘I think I'm burning out.' The reaction I got was this dark chuckle … ‘We're all burnt out. Get back on the truck.' That kind of festering mentality is not healthy.” — Patrick Pianezza “Six out of six people that I have worked with have unfortunately [died by] suicide, and the suicide rates for first responders is double that of the regular population … which is a statistic we need to fix.” — Patrick Pianezza “And it is … a good representation of life on the truck, on the street, with a guy who's clearly burned out; but a person that cares, that has passion, commitment and will always do the right thing.” — Patrick Pianezza “There was no way to confront the story without talking about salaries, without talking about reimbursements … No one's gonna see a movie about Medicare, Medicaid, but we are as honest as we can be.” — Patrick Pianezza “This movie is nothing more than a gratitude tour for everyone who works in 911 … I'll be a broken record here: thank you for what it is that you do because it matters. I've been in those boots and I'm here to tell you thank you.” — Patrick Pianezza “And as I say in my review, those who know me know my ability to take tactical naps during movies. Well, this one got two eyes open and absolutely five stars.” — Rob Lawrence Episode timeline 00:00 – Introduction: Rob Lawrence introduces Patrick Pianezza and the film “Code 3” starring Rainn Wilson 02:31 – Origins of “Code 3:” How the project started and the vision behind telling an authentic EMS story 05:01 – Creative team & casting: working with actors, crew and Rainn Wilson 08:01 – On-the-Street authenticity: translating real EMS experiences into the film 12:01 – Depicting burnout: emotional and mental challenges in EMS work 16:01 – Mental health & seeking help: Autobiographical elements and confronting burnout 20:01 – Systemic issues: salaries, Medicare, and Medicaid reimbursement challenges 24:01 – Impact on families & relationships: emotional toll beyond the job 27:01 – Personal reflection: Patrick's journey, struggles and growth in EMS 29:01 – Gratitude tour: purpose of the film and acknowledging EMS professionals 32:01 – Closing thoughts: film release details, upcoming trailer and final messages of appreciation Enjoying the show?

Rural ambulance services across New York State are facing a growing crisis that threatens the health and safety of small communities. For decades, these services have relied heavily on volunteers, but that model is straining under modern realities. Fewer people are available to volunteer, while the demand for emergency medical services continues to rise due to aging populations, chronic health conditions, substance abuse, and mental health emergencies.Recognizing these challenges, the New York State Legislature created the Rural Ambulance Services Task Force. The Task Force brings together representatives from state government, EMS professionals, and local stakeholders to study the state of rural emergency care.

If passed, it could generate $445 million over six years, with funds split between the county and its cities. The projects? Everything from road widening and resurfacing to new sidewalks, multi-use trails, and roundabouts. Think smoother commutes, safer intersections, and maybe even a pedestrian plaza in Woodstock. The vote happens Nov. 4. STORY 2: Holly Springs breaks ground on Town Center amphitheater  Shovels hit the dirt Wednesday as Holly Springs broke ground on its long-awaited amphitheater, a centerpiece for the growing Town Center. Set near the railroad tracks, the amphitheater will host concerts, festivals, and community events—like the Holly Springs Harmonies summer series. Construction is expected to wrap up in nine months. The $2.3 million project is part of a larger vision: restaurants, shops, homes, and more. STORY 3: Waleska to hold special election next year for council seat A special election is on the horizon after no one stepped up to run for a city council seat set to expire Dec. 31. Councilman Logan Patrick, who’s not seeking re-election, is moving outside city limits. With no candidates qualifying for his seat, the city will hold a special election sometime after Jan. 1, according to City Clerk Kim Kirsch. Meanwhile, council members Kristi Bosch and Michael Green will return, running unopposed. Patrick’s final council meeting is Dec. 15, wrapping up 12 years in the community he’s called home.

Break: COBB MAKE A WISH STORY 4: Former CDC leaders worry about the agency’s direction, impact on public health  Former CDC leaders gathered at the Georgia Capitol Tuesday, invited by Democratic lawmakers, to voice concerns about the agency’s future and its impact on public health. The meeting came days after President Trump fired CDC Director Susan Monarez, just a month into her role. Her dismissal followed Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s controversial shake-up of the vaccine advisory committee, raising questions about long-standing immunization policies. Dr. Debra Houry, who resigned after Monarez’s firing, warned of growing vaccine skepticism. The event also highlighted public mistrust. Atlanta resident Melinda Hicks confronted Houry and Jernigan, blaming a friend’s death on the COVID-19 vaccine. Democrats urged Gov. Brian Kemp to back the CDC, but he declined to comment. STORY 5: Cherokee County considering $438 million 2026 budget  Cherokee County is hashing out a $438 million budget for the next fiscal year, and they want to hear from you. A public hearing is set for Sept. 16, with a final vote planned for Oct. 7. The proposed budget is $20.5 million higher than last year’s, with big chunks going to public safety ($176.5 million for the sheriff’s office, fire, and EMS), parks, transportation, and judicial services. Employees are set for a 3% cost-of-living raise, though healthcare contributions will rise 10% starting Jan. 1. SPLOST funds will cover projects like road improvements near Macedonia Elementary and expanding the airport runway. Want details? The full 511-page budget is online.

In this episode of the First Responder Wellness Podcast, host Conrad Weaver welcomes human performance coach Rob Wilson, whose upbringing in a first-responder family shaped his dedication to supporting law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS through wellness. They explore how first responders constantly operate on high-alert biologically, often without healthy recovery systems—leading to burnout, early illness, and mental fatigue. Rob discusses his ‘Check Engine Light' framework—designed to help first responders self-monitor stress and mental/physical health in actionable, sustainable ways. The conversation delves into key building blocks of wellness—resilience through jiu-jitsu, breathwork, sleep awareness, and everyday movement rituals like sun salutations—that help maintain focus, longevity, and mental sharpness amid job-related stress. Key Takeaways: Allostatic load and the armored mentality: staying alert comes at great personal cost. Developing a self-dashboard: Simple practices and audits for mind, body, and chemistry. Recovery-informed routines: Breathwork, jujitsu, movement practices, and sleep strategies that work within real first-responder schedules.

What does it take to build strong leaders in EMS? Host Eric Clauss is joined by Greg Johnson (Program Director, Columbia State Community College), Alex Whitley (Paramedic Instructor and Flight Medic), and Jamie Wesley (Critical Care Paramedic, Rutherford County) to discuss the launch of Tennessee's New Provider Conference and the leadership lessons shaping the next generation. Together, they reflect on lessons learned, the launch of Tennessee's first New Provider Conference, and how intentional investment in young providers is reshaping the profession. This episode is a reminder that leadership isn't about titles—it's about showing up, listening, and leaving the field better than you found it. This conversation dives into: • Why mentorship and gratitude are essential for growth. • The power of “showing up” and following through. • Meeting the new generation where they are—with technology, curiosity, and innovation. • How attitude, humility, and listening set the foundation for leadership. Whether you're just starting your EMS career or guiding others along the way, this episode will challenge you to rethink what leadership looks like—and how you can invest in those who will carry the torch forward.Leadership ApplicationsShow Up with the Right PostureLeadership starts by being present—not just at the microphone, but in the small, unseen moments. Rolling up your sleeves, moving chairs, and following through on commitments builds credibility that opens doors for greater influence.Invest in the Next GenerationYesterday's “hard knocks” lessons can become today's intentional mentorship. Meeting new providers where they are, embracing technology, and listening to their questions ensures the profession evolves with strength and resilience.Prioritize Attitude and GratitudeA positive mindset and appreciation for those who invested in you are transformative. Attitude shapes not only how you lead, but also how you inspire others to embrace challenges with optimism.Listen More Than You SpeakEffective leaders don't need to have all the ideas—they need to recognize, elevate, and support the innovators around them. Listening deeply, asking “why,” and amplifying others' contributions builds trust and collective success.

From Dispatcher to Deputy: How a Helicopter Crash and Trauma Changed His Life. Special Episode. That call became the first of many moments that would shape his understanding of trauma, resilience, and eventually, recovery. He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. When Andrew Baxter, better known by many as “Drew Breasy,” spent 28 years in law enforcement, beginning as a 911 dispatcher and ending as the lieutenant commanding a communications center that handled roughly 1.8 million calls annually. That journey taught me how to stay calm in chaos, and build teams that do the same. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. When took his first seat behind the console as a 911 dispatcher, he couldn't have imagined how a single call would change the trajectory of his life. The young recruit had joined the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department full of energy and purpose. But one of his earliest calls, a helicopter crash, left a permanent imprint on his mind and spirit. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “It was one of those calls you never forget,” Baxter says. “I wasn't on the scene, but I could hear everything. The voices, the panic, the chaos. And that's the thing about dispatching—sometimes the trauma isn't direct, but it's just as real.” From Dispatcher to Deputy: How a Helicopter Crash and Trauma Changed His Life. Special Episode. That call became the first of many moments that would shape his understanding of trauma, resilience, and eventually, recovery. From the Console to the Streets Baxter's career began in dispatch, but his ambition and commitment to service soon took him beyond the phone lines and radio traffic. He transitioned to the streets, trading in the headset for a patrol car. Over the years, he climbed the ranks, eventually retiring as a Sheriff's Lieutenant. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. While dispatch exposed him to the raw fear and emergencies of strangers, working the streets brought trauma even closer. He responded to violent crimes, traffic accidents, domestic disputes, and tragedies that most people only see on the evening news. “The shift from dispatcher to deputy was like going from hearing about the fire to being inside of it,” he recalls. “You see things you can't unsee. You carry them with you, whether you want to or not.” The Hidden Cost of Service For Baxter, the accumulation of both indirect trauma from dispatch and direct trauma from his time as a deputy began to take its toll. Like many in law enforcement, he carried his pain quietly, not wanting to burden others or show what might be perceived as weakness. From Dispatcher to Deputy: How a Helicopter Crash and Trauma Changed His Life. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. But trauma has a way of surfacing. For Baxter, it came in the form of post-traumatic stress, destructive behavior, and substance abuse. The very qualities that made him a strong deputy, discipline, resilience, and a refusal to quit, were the same qualities that kept him from asking for help when he needed it most. “I thought I could outwork it, push through it, just like I always had,” Baxter says. “But trauma doesn't work that way. It catches up with you.” His struggles spilled over into his personal and professional life. Relationships strained. Trust eroded. The career he had built with such pride began to feel like it was slipping away. A Turning Point Recovery didn't come easily, but it did come. Baxter eventually sought help, and through the difficult process of facing his pain, he found not only healing but a new mission. From Dispatcher to Deputy: How a Helicopter Crash and Trauma Changed His Life. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. “I realized I wasn't alone,” he says. “There were countless others in law enforcement, dispatch, fire, EMS—people just like me, who were carrying invisible wounds. If I could get through it, maybe I could help them, too.” This realization transformed his life. No longer was his story just about trauma and struggle. It became about recovery, resilience, and using hard-earned lessons to light the path for others. A Mission to Help Others Today, Baxter speaks openly about his experiences, using his platform as “Drew Breasy” to reach those who may still be suffering in silence. He shares his journey not to dwell on the past, but to show what's possible when someone chooses to face it. “Helping others is what gives all of this meaning,” he explains. “If my story can prevent someone else from going down the same destructive path, or if it encourages them to get help sooner than I did, then it's worth it.” From Dispatcher to Deputy. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Through speaking engagements, podcasts, and personal outreach, Baxter advocates for mental health awareness within the first responder community. He knows firsthand the stigma that surrounds asking for help in law enforcement and wants to break it down. “There's nothing weak about seeking help,” he says firmly. “It takes more courage to admit you're struggling than it does to ignore it.” A Legacy Beyond the Badge From his early days as a 911 dispatcher to his retirement as a Lieutenant, Andrew “Drew Breasy” Baxter's career was marked by service. But perhaps his greatest service has come after the badge, helping others heal from the traumas that come with wearing the uniform. Check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The helicopter crash that began his journey was a moment of tragedy. But today, Baxter has turned his pain into purpose. His story is a reminder that trauma may shape a person, but it does not have to define them. “Recovery is possible,” he says. “I'm living proof of that. And if I can help even one person believe it's possible for them, too, then that's my mission.” From Dispatcher to Deputy: How a Helicopter Crash and Trauma Changed His Life. Special Episode.

You use ketamine. I use ketamine. We all use ketamine. But… how safe it is, really? A new study out of Toronto suggests 30% of patients who receive ketamine have adverse events, a rate higher than seen in the ED. What are we to make of this? I bring Dr Remle Crowe on to discuss…Citations:1.     Kwong JL, Verbeek PR, Leong YC, Turner L, Huiskamp M, Drennan IR, Francom S, Ropp S, Cheskes S: Paramedic use of ketamine for severe agitation and violence.

In this episode of the Inside EMS podcast, hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson dive headfirst into one of paramedic's most anxiety-inducing scenarios: the pediatric airway. Despite decades of advancement, pediatric codes still strike fear into the hearts of even the most seasoned medics. So why hasn't this gotten any easier? Drawing on their own experience (plus a few nods to Dr. Peter Antevy), the duo emphasize the urgent need for high-fidelity simulation training, ongoing QA and competency-based training. This episode's packed with insights, strong opinions and a healthy dose of tough love for EMS systems that continue to send underprepared crews into high-stakes situations. If you've ever broken into a cold sweat over a pediatric call, this episode is for you. Memorable quotes "When a mother hands you a 3-month-old in cardiac arrest, that's not the time to figure out you're uncomfortable." — Chris Cebollero “If you want the medic to intubate kids, you need cadaver labs, you need high fidelity simulation. You need to practice and you need to QA that practice. Most systems just can't provide that and without regular exposure, intubation becomes unsafe. And that's why I'd argue if you can't maintain your competency, you shouldn't carry the skill.” — Chris Cebollero “Kids aren't little adults. They do have more challenges. They do have bigger tongues. They do have floppier epiglottis, they do have smaller airways.” — Chris Cebollero Enjoying the show?
