Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta segunda-feira (22):A Mesa Diretora da Câmara declarou a perda do mandato de Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) devido ao excesso de faltas não justificadas. Com a cassação, o ex-parlamentar perdeu o direito ao passaporte diplomático e agora depende de um visto comum para permanecer nos EUA. Aliados temem que a falta de status oficial acelere sua deportação, enquanto o ex-deputado denuncia perseguição política. O governo de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) planeja usar o aniversário de três anos do 8 de janeiro para vetar o PL da Dosimetria e realizar um ato político. A medida, confirmada por Jaques Wagner (PT-BA), impede a redução de penas para os envolvidos nos atos de Brasília e atinge diretamente aliados de Jair Bolsonaro (PL-RJ). O gesto é visto como uma tentativa de manter a polarização e punir adversários políticos. O General Augusto Heleno (PL-RJ) obteve o direito à prisão domiciliar por razões humanitárias após laudo médico confirmar o diagnóstico de Alzheimer. O benefício foi concedido pela Justiça devido à necessidade de cuidados especializados que não poderiam ser oferecidos no ambiente prisional. O ex-ministro e aliado de Jair Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) estava detido no âmbito das investigações sobre os atos de Brasília e agora deve cumprir restrições em sua residência. O senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) decidiu repetir a estratégia de seu pai e anunciará nomes de seu futuro ministério ainda durante a campanha de 2026. Em aceno ao mercado financeiro, ele já sinalizou o desejo de contar com Paulo Guedes e Roberto Campos Neto em sua equipe econômica. A medida visa dar previsibilidade ao setor produtivo e consolidar sua imagem como um "Bolsonaro moderado", capaz de dialogar com o PIB brasileiro. A insegurança no litoral de São Paulo atingiu um novo patamar de ousadia. Em São Vicente, criminosos utilizaram motos aquáticas para abordar e assaltar um casal que estava dentro do mar. O crime escancara a falta de policiamento ostensivo e o domínio da criminalidade, que agora ignora até as barreiras naturais para atacar cidadãos. O governo de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) atingiu a marca histórica de R$ 2,6 trilhões do contribuinte em 2025. Mesmo com a maior arrecadação da história e a criação desenfreada de taxas por Fernando Haddad (PT-SP), as contas seguem no vermelho. O recorde de impostos só serviu para financiar o inchaço da máquina pública, enquanto o cidadão paga a conta de um déficit que não para de crescer sob a gestão petista.Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

The world of prehospital medicine is constantly evolving, driven by new research, technological advancements, and a shared commitment to improving patient care and provider well-being. As EMS professionals, staying informed about these developments goes beyond a professional obligation; it is an opportunity to improve our practice, champion our profession, and ultimately make a greater impact on saving lives. In this article, we will explore some of the latest research findings that are reshaping our field, from workplace culture to cutting-edge technology.   The Culture of Care: Supporting EMS Providers Our work is demanding, both physically and emotionally, and the culture within our agencies plays a critical role in our well-being. A recent systematic review in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health revealed that many EMS providers avoid using organizational mental health services due to stigma and a perception that these programs lack genuine care. The study emphasizes the need for person-centered support and a cultural shift that normalizes seeking help as a sign of strength (Johnston et al., 2025). This cultural component also impacts retention. Another study in the same journal found that agencies with collaborative, team-oriented "clan" cultures had significantly lower turnover rates compared to those with rigid or chaotic structures. For leaders in EMS, fostering a supportive environment is not just about morale. It is a strategic imperative for retaining skilled clinicians (Kamholz et al., 2025).   Professional Recognition: Breaking Barriers Across the globe, paramedics are striving for recognition as integrated healthcare professionals. A qualitative study in BMC Health Services Research identified common barriers, including outdated legislation, inconsistent regulation, and insufficient funding. While the pandemic temporarily highlighted our capabilities, the momentum has waned. The study calls for targeted policy reforms and investments in education and leadership to solidify our role in the broader healthcare system (Feerick et al., 2025). Physical Demands and Injury Prevention The physical toll of our work is undeniable. A scoping review in Applied Ergonomics confirmed that musculoskeletal injuries, particularly to the back, are rampant in EMS. Tasks like handling stretchers and patient extractions are among the most strenuous. The review also highlighted fitness disparities, with male paramedics generally showing more strength but less flexibility than their female counterparts. These findings underscore the need for targeted injury prevention programs and realistic physical standards to keep us safe throughout our careers (Marsh et al., 2025).   Advancements in Cardiac Arrest Care When it comes to cardiac arrest, every second counts. A study in Resuscitation reinforced the value of bystander CPR, showing that dispatcher-assisted CPR significantly improves outcomes for untrained bystanders. For those with prior CPR training, acting independently yielded even better results. This highlights the importance of public CPR education alongside dispatcher support (Tagami et al., 2025). On the scene, our interventions matter immensely. Research in The Journal of Emergency Medicine found that for traumatic cardiac arrest patients, aggressive interventions like prehospital thoracostomy can be lifesaving (McWilliam et al., 2025). Meanwhile, a study in Critical Care Medicine revealed that extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) significantly improves outcomes for patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation, emphasizing the need for early transport to specialized centers.   The Role of Technology in EMS Technology is poised to revolutionize EMS, from dispatch to diagnosis. A study in The American Journal of Emergency Medicine demonstrated that large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT could prioritize ambulance requests with remarkable accuracy, aligning with expert paramedic decisions over 76 percent of the time. This proof of concept suggests that AI could one day enhance resource allocation in dispatch centers (Shekhar et al., 2025). On the diagnostic front, machine learning is opening new possibilities. For example, a study in Bioengineering showed that analyzing photoplethysmography waveforms could estimate blood loss in trauma patients, offering a non-invasive way to guide resuscitation (Gonzalez et al., 2025). Similarly, research in Medical Engineering & Physics explored using multidimensional data to differentiate ischemic from hemorrhagic strokes in the field, potentially enabling more targeted prehospital care (Alshehri et al., 2025).   Addressing Disparities in Care Equity in EMS is a cornerstone of our profession, yet recent studies highlight troubling disparities. Research in JAMA Network Open found that ambulance offload times were significantly longer in communities with higher proportions of Black residents (Zhou et al., 2025). Another study in JAMA Surgery revealed that Black and Asian trauma patients were less likely to receive helicopter transport compared to White patients. These findings are a call to action for all of us to examine our systems and biases to ensure equitable care for every patient (Mpody et al., 2025).   Looking Ahead The research discussed here represents just a fraction of the advancements shaping EMS today. From improving workplace culture and injury prevention to leveraging AI and addressing systemic inequities, these findings have real-world implications for our protocols, training, and advocacy efforts. As EMS professionals, we have a responsibility to stay informed and apply these insights to our practice.

In this special Christmas edition of the Inside EMS podcast, cohosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson unwrap five of the biggest EMS stories of 2025 — and it's not all eggnog and cheer. This year delivered more than its fair share of gut punches to the profession, from a paramedic who was charged with manslaughter, to footage of a fire chief yelling at a 10-year-old patient (yeah, that happened). Next week's show will break down the final five EMS stories of the year, but in 2026, we're flipping the spotlight. Chris and Kelly are calling on you to step up and share your real EMS stories — the funny, the frustrating, the calls that changed you. Got a moment that shaped your career? Our cohosts want to hear it, and you might even get an invite to appear on the podcast. ‘Tis the season to be heard; email theshow@ems1.com to share your story! Quotable takeaways “You're the grownup. You can't pitch a fit. You gotta be the grownup in the situation and diffuse it.” “If your only incentive for doing the right thing is that somebody might catch you being a jerk on video, then it's time for you to get out of the profession.” “The cost of readiness is hugely expensive.” Enjoying Inside EMS?

Headlines can numb the soul, but they can also wake it. We open with prayer and move straight into the hard reality of targeted violence and public fear, then trace a path that blends courage with compassion. Our focus is local and concrete: how to strengthen law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, and communication networks so communities are ready before a crisis, not after. The goal isn't alarm—it's stewardship. When neighbors talk, train, and plan, the ground under our feet steadies.From there, we ground public life in private covenant. We read the marriage passages from Corinthians and Genesis, exploring how a husband and wife, joined as one, form a stable center for children and community. That foundation links to a journey of prudence: Joseph, Mary, and the child Jesus flee danger, wait for God's timing, and return only when it's safe. Obedience here looks like preparation, patience, and movement guided by wisdom. It's a blueprint for modern families facing uncertainty without surrendering to fear.Scripture keeps widening the frame. Psalm 2 reminds us that rulers rage, but God reigns; Proverbs calls us to humility and discipline. We pause to honor a Medal of Honor recipient whose brief citation hints at decisive bravery, then hear FDR's Christmas reading on radical grace—an invitation that stretches even to the hardest hearts. We hold both truths together: salvation is offered to all, and love protects the vulnerable. That's why moral clarity and community readiness belong side by side.If this conversation stirred you, share it with a friend, subscribe for future episodes, and leave a review so others can find the show.

Tim Hepworth is a fly fishing guide, fly tier, dad, and former Primary Care Paramedic who brings heart, skill, and real-world grit to everything he does. Born and raised in central Alberta, Tim grew up in a family where the outdoors wasn't a weekend hobby—it was life. As the youngest of nine kids, he learned resilience, adaptability, and how to find joy in chaos long before he ever tied a fly or rowed a boat. FLY FISHING BOW RIVER OUTFITTERSAfter working in CrossFit coaching and then making the leap into EMS, Tim found himself drawn deeply to the rhythms of nature—the quiet flow of rivers, the meditative cast, and the unexpected lessons that happen when you're rooted in a riverbed rather than an emergency scene. The birth of his daughter, Wren, marked a turning point: instead of shelving his outdoor life, he expanded it, bringing her along on the water and weaving parenthood into his connection to the sport. FLY FISHING BOW RIVER OUTFITTERS+1Today, Tim is widely known for more than his guiding expertise on the Bow River. He's a co-host of Thursday Night Live Fly Tying, where his creativity at the vise and genuine personality have made him a respected voice in the fly tying community. Whether he's sharing a tying technique, rowing a drift boat, or helping someone experience their first trout, Tim's approach is always infused with warmth, humor, and a deep respect for the outdoors. FLY FISHING BOW RIVER OUTFITTERSOutside of guiding and tying, his favorite fishing partner is his daughter, Wren—proof that fly fishing isn't just a career or hobby for Tim, but a lifelong way of being, teaching, and connecting.

In this episode of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence revisits an issue close to the heart of every EMS professional: creating a permanent National EMS Memorial in Washington, D.C. Rob is joined by Tony O'Brien and James Robinson from the National EMS Memorial Foundation to provide a clear, candid update on where the project stands, why it matters, and what still needs to be done. From the Weekend of Remembrance to the dream of a year-round place of solace and reverence in the nation's capital, this conversation lays out the long road from idea to reality — and why EMS, as James puts it, truly deserves this. Tony and James walk listeners through the 24-step federal Commemorative Works Act process, the hard work of narrowing 312 potential sites down to three, and the current push to reauthorize the Foundation's federal authority through House Resolution 2196 and Senate Bill 2546. They explain the preferred site in front of the Hubert H. Humphrey Building (HHS), the partnership with MIT's School of Architecture and Urban Risk Lab on a powerful design, and the practical realities of funding, sponsorship and bureaucracy. Most importantly, they end with a clear call to action for the EMS community: contact your elected officials, donate what you can, and help spread the word so that a permanent memorial to EMS can finally take its place in Washington, D.C.

A Comissão de Constituição e Justiça (CCJ) do Senado deve analisar nesta quarta-feira (17) o projeto de lei que propõe a redução das penas para condenados pelos atos ocorridos em 8 de janeiro. A proposta tem gerado dos por outros crimes graves. Um dos possíveis beneficiados, o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro passará por uma perícia médica autorizada pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal para avaliar a necessidade de realização de uma cirurgia .O clima no Senado é incerto quanto à aprovação da medida. Um ponto crítico do debate é que o texto atual poderia abrir precedentes para reduzir penas não apenas relacionadas aos eventos específicos mencionados, mas também para casos envolvendo corrupção e violência sexual. Caso haja alterações na proposta durante a análise pela CCJ, ela deverá retornar à Câmara dos Deputados antes da votação final.Veja ainda que as temperaturas caíram significativamente nas regiões Sul e Sudeste com a chegada de uma frente fria. Em São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro os termômetros registram máximas abaixo do usual para esta época do ano: 22ºC em São Paulo e 25ºC no Rio. As condições climáticas mais amenas devem persistir até o fim da semana acompanhadas por chuvas esparsas nessas áreas.

Comentario para desarrollar: Es un estudio observacional, con n pequeño, no podemos concluir causalidad, pero sí hay "señales" interesantes de posible beneficio. ¿Qué nos dice realmente este estudio? Mensajes principales La EP de alto riesgo fuera del hospital tiene una mortalidad muy alta aun con intervenciones agresivas. En este contexto crítico, los trombolíticos prehospitalarios para embolia pulmonar: Parecen relativamente seguros (pocas hemorragias mayores, ninguna fatal). Podrían ofrecer un beneficio en supervivencia, especialmente en pacientes seleccionados. Limitaciones para mencionar Serie de casos; no es ensayo aleatorizado. Número pequeño de pacientes trombolizados. Posible sesgo de selección: Pacientes más jóvenes y potencialmente con menos comorbilidades recibieron trombólisis. No responde preguntas como: Detalle exacto del protocolo. Diferencias entre equipos. Tiempos exactos desde el colapso hasta la trombólisis. Idea clave: No es un "permiso" para trombolizar a todo el mundo, pero sí una invitación seria a considerar que, en EP de alto riesgo, la inacción también tiene un costo muy alto. El reto práctico: decidir trombolisis en el campo Barreras en la vida real Diagnóstico presuntivo sin imagen: Dependemos de clínica, antecedentes, ECG, quizás eco focal. Miedo al sangrado: Especialmente hemorragia intracraneal. Falta de protocolos claros: Muchos sistemas de EMS no contemplan todavía trombolíticos prehospitalarios para embolia pulmonar. Falta de entrenamiento específico: No todos se sienten cómodos con indicaciones, contraindicaciones, dosis. Cómo ayuda ACLS aquí ACLS bien aprendido: Te obliga a pensar en H y T, no solo en adrenalina y ciclos. Te muestra dónde se colocan los trombolíticos prehospitalarios para embolia pulmonar dentro del algoritmo. Te entrena para liderar un equipo y tomar decisiones bajo presión. Conectar con los cursos de ECCtrainings: En nuestros ACLS discutimos escenarios de paro por EP masiva. Practicamos cómo tomar la decisión de administrar o no trombolítico. Simulamos la comunicación con el hospital receptor después de trombólisis. Caso clínico narrado Propuesta de caso Varón de 48 años. Disnea súbita, dolor torácico, antecedente de inmovilidad o TVP reciente. Hipotenso, taquicárdico, saturación baja, signos de shock. En la ambulancia entra en PEA. El equipo evalúa H y T → EP masiva muy probable. Protocolo local permite trombolíticos prehospitalarios para embolia pulmonar: Se administra el medicamento durante la RCP. Después de varios ciclos recupera pulso. Llega vivo al hospital, se confirma EP por imagen y sobrevive. Puntos a resaltar Valor de: reconocer el patrón clínico, tener protocolos, estar entrenado en ACLS. Conectar con la serie de Helsinki: "Son justamente este tipo de pacientes los que aparecen en la serie: altísimo riesgo, pero con posibilidad real de supervivencia si somos agresivos."

An EMS medic, an MVA, a STEMI, a stroke—and everyone's still playing “telephone” with the hospital. In this episode of EMS World Podcasts, host Mike McCabe sits down with Mitch Scott, Solutions Architect at General Devices, to tackle one of EMS's biggest headaches: communication and coordination with the emergency department and specialty teams. Scott breaks down how GD's e-Bridge platform lets crews securely send photos, EKGs, videos, and patient data straight from the field to the ED, cath lab, stroke team, transfer centers, and more—all in one HIPAA-compliant app that never stores images on personal devices. They dig into real-world pain points: long wall times, “we never got your call,” lack of accountability, rural agencies with hour-long transports, and busy EDs juggling multiple priorities. You'll hear how features like GPS tracking, acknowledgement alerts, and detailed timestamps create a defensible QA/QI trail and give everyone—from medics to cardiologists—a shared, real-time view of the patient before they hit the door. If you've ever felt unheard on the radio or wished you could “show, not tell” your next handoff, this episode is for you.  

As the panel discussion continues, the discussion of medical direction arises as well as how to handle the potential rotating staff and continuity of responder training including incident command training. If interested in starting or growing your campus-based EMS system, feel free to get in touch with the National Collegiate EMS Foundation.

In this episode of the Not A-Fib podcast, Virginia Beach (VA) EMS Chief Jason Stroud discusses a recent operational shift limiting the use of lights and sirens for non-emergent calls. Drawing on research and local data showing minimal impact on patient outcomes but significant safety risks—including increased ambulance collisions—Chief Stroud explains why the department is prioritizing safer, more measured responses for priority two calls, which make up 75% of dispatches. He details the unique combination career-volunteer EMS model in Virginia Beach, the close partnership with local military installations, and the department's advanced life support heritage. They also explore how evolving dispatch protocols and ongoing evaluation guide this change, alongside challenges like workforce development and growing call volumes.

Episode 313 of Medic2Medic, Steve sits down with Harold Wright, a paramedic with over 30 years in the medical field whose career was built the hard way. Harold's journey started with real struggle, including a period of homelessness, before becoming an EMT-MAST in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1995. From city EMS and rural North Carolina, to advanced airway work, RSI, disaster response, and offshore medicine on major BP platforms, Harold's path proves that resilience matters more than comfort. A powerful conversation about grit, reinvention, and staying in the fight.https://bit.ly/44na9xW

Send us a textThe silence after the last shift can be deafening. We dive into what really happens when the badge comes off and the calls stop, tracing the steep drop from team identity and adrenaline to isolation, substance use, and rising suicide risk. With honesty and urgency, we unpack why retirement hits first responders so hard and outline a practical safety net that works in the real world.We talk through the addictive rhythm of police, fire, EMS, and corrections work—why the culture bonds like family, and why role loss feels like grief, not change management. From the “greatest show in town” to the long, quiet afternoons, we map the transition pitfalls: relationship strain, gambling, financial pressure, heavy drinking, and access to means. Then we move to solutions that stick: QPR training for everyone, union-led outreach to members on injury or IA, and a retiree association built on peer mentors, quarterly meetups, and easy referral to culture-competent clinicians and recovery coaches.Therapy only helps when it respects the culture. We make the case for long-term, stigma-free care that starts at the kitchen table, not a clipboard wall. Leaders play a decisive role, too: fund peer teams, protect privacy, standardize evaluations, and create fair return-to-duty paths that treat mental health injuries like broken bones. Fire service models show how trust grows when unions hold the keys and chiefs clear the way. Our aim is simple—keep people connected, valued, and alive long after the radio goes quiet.If this conversation resonates, share it with your crew, subscribe for more candid tools and stories, and leave a review to help other first responders find us.

A single 20-minute session in a wireless suit left my wife sore for six days and turned a fit CrossFitter into someone who suddenly felt the barbell was loaded wrong because he got dramatically stronger after just two workouts. Alec Oliver, the founder of SQAI, brought elite-athlete electrical muscle stimulation out of secret training rooms and million-dollar clinics and made it something you can own, control from your phone, and use while you watch TV.We go hard on the science of why EMS recruits twice the muscle fibers, no matter how heavy you lift, and how it hits fast-twitch fibers on demand, so you keep explosive power into your 70s and 80s. We also discuss why EMS builds bone density from both sides of every joint, and how a $99/month suit is quietly becoming the biggest longevity hack most people still don't know exists.“I don't care how heavy you lift, I don't care how fast you run or how high you jump. EMS is just science. It activates twice as many muscle fibers and acts more deeply and more comprehensively.” Alec OliverSupport the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and let us know!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 About Alec Oliver:Alec Oliver is the founder and CEO of SQAI, a fitness technology company redefining strength training through the lens of longevity.

In this episode of the FOAMfrat Podcast, Dr. Harrison Brookeman joins the discussion to examine methemoglobinemia and the emerging prehospital threat of sodium nitrite ingestion. Often viewed as a rare toxicology concept, this condition is appearing more frequently and can progress rapidly with devastating consequences if it is not recognized early. The episode focuses on what matters most to EMS clinicians in the field: the physiology of methemoglobinemia, why these patients appear profoundly hypoxic despite adequate ventilation, and the classic clue: a pulse oximetry reading that remains fixed around 85 percent regardless of oxygen delivery. The conversation also addresses iatrogenic causes such as benzocaine exposure, expected mental status changes, and why oxygen alone does not correct the problem. Emphasis is placed on prehospital decision-making, including early involvement with poison control, transport destination considerations, and the importance of ensuring these patients are taken to the right facility the first time. This episode is intended to sharpen recognition, improve pattern awareness, and prepare providers for a call that does not follow typical respiratory failure patterns.

We are honored to welcome Kevin Tighe, the actor who brought Roy DeSoto to life on the groundbreaking series Emergency! and whose career has spanned stage, screen, and service.Kevin takes us back to his beginnings at the Pasadena Playhouse, where he first stepped into the world of acting at just 10 years old. From there, he trained with legendary teachers Stella Adler and Bobby Lewis, absorbing the craft that would later shape his most memorable roles.He reflects on his early film work, including Yours, Mine and Ours, and shares a warm, behind-the-scenes moment with Lucille Ball. Kevin then recounts the unexpected and nerve-wracking audition process that led to Emergency! and how a chance encounter with actor David Janssen calmed his nerves and helped him nail the screen test that changed his life.Kevin discusses the legacy of Emergency! notable for the realism brought by on-set medical advisors. The show inspired a surge of interest in first responder careers, and it raised awareness of lifesaving pre-hospitalization, EMS opportunities that inspired paramedic programs throughout the country.Kevin talks candidly about the challenges he faced following Emergency!, including his struggle with fame and his move to Washington State. There, he dedicated himself to community work and played a key role in establishing Hospice of the Northwest.After decades of appearances on big and small screens with memorable roles in Roadhouse, Newsies, Law And Order SUV, Freaks and Geeks, and the list goes on, you can now see Kevin in the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, One Battle After Another, and he shares a touching moment between himself and P.T. Anderson which allowed Kevin to create a menacing screen moment that will live in infamy. Kevin also looks back on earning his master's degree at USC and the students he taught who went on to thrive in their field.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-eighteenth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Senior Enlisted Medical Advisor and Role II Observer-Coach-Trainer for the Task Force Sustainment (BSB / CSSB), MSG Timothy Sargent on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are all combat medicine professionals across the JRTC. SFC William Deutsch is the Senior Medical OCT with TF-3 (IN BN), SFC Robert Schimmelpfenneg is the Medical Advisor and Role II OCT with TF Sustainment (BSB / CSSB), and SFC Anthony Norris is the Senior Medical OCT with Live Fire Division.   This episode dives deep into combat medicine at the tactical small-unit level, focusing on what 68W medics truly face in a large-scale combat operations environment. The discussion highlights how today's medics arrive from Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training with significantly more clinical capability: whole blood transfusions, chest tubes, finger thoracotomies, FAST exams, etc. Yet often lose proficiency once they reach their units due to lack of repetitions, limited clinical exposure, and competing taskings like motor-pool duties and gate guard. The panel emphasizes the widening gap between what new medics learn in the schoolhouse and what line units actually reinforce day to day. Just as importantly, the episode stresses that modern LSCO demands a return to mastery of basics: triage under mass-casualty conditions, reassessments, deliberate casualty collection point (CCP) management, documentation, and base-level soldier tasks such as security, dispersion, movement, and survivability. We routinely observe high-casualties at JRTC, often 60–80 casualties at once and hundreds per rotation. Poor triage and poor soldier-skill fundamentals, not lack of “sexy medicine,” are the leading causes of died-of-wounds outcomes.    The episode also examines how units can better sustain medical readiness during home-station training. Leaders discuss integrating medics into ER rotations, EMS ride-alongs, sick-call operations, and realistic trauma/medical lanes that reinforce both prolonged field care and everyday DMBI cases. They argue that NCOs must reclaim ownership of training through proper DTMS programming, use of existing doctrinal resources, and deliberate linkage to mission-essential tasks. The conversation closes on three high-value priorities for the future fight: deliberate triage, accurate/documented patient care, and competent CCP & CASEVAC execution—all grounded in disciplined soldiering, not just advanced interventions. Ultimately, the episode makes clear that on the LSCO battlefield, combat medics must be clinicians, communicators, and soldiers, capable of saving lives while enabling commanders to maintain combat power forward.    Part of S05 “Beans, Bullets, Band-Aids, Batteries, Water, & Fuel” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

In this episode of Unwritten Chapters, I do something a little different: I hit play on two videos and react in real time — as a former army medic, long-time paramedic, and guy who's watched a lot of people quietly fall apart while the world tells them to “be strong.”First up is the Monochromatic Theory: an author breaking down how pop culture, brands, and even our houses started to lose their colour. Home Alone, Taco Bell, old cars, childhood streets — all more vibrant than what we see now. I talk about why that hits so hard for people who grew up before everything turned beige, and how that muted “aesthetic” mirrors what happens to us after trauma, burnout, and years of caregiving.If you've ever felt more like background noise in your own life, this part is for you.Then we shift to something spicier: a clip of Andrew Wilson debating a woman about female roles in the military. As a former army medic, I give my honest take on women in the military and combat roles, drawing on my own experience, the women I served with, and what actually happens on the ground versus what guys on the internet think happens.If you're a nurse, medic, first responder, partner of a veteran, or a woman who's ever been told you're “too emotional” to handle the hard stuff… you'll probably have some feelings about this.We get into:Why so many of us feel like our lives went “monochrome”The link between nostalgia, trauma, and mental healthWhat people get wrong about women in the military and frontline rolesHow it really feels to carry everyone else's pain and still show upDark humour, recovery, and trying to make sense of life after rock bottomThis channel is for the empathetic but exhausted — the ones who are trauma-literate, allergic to bullshit, and just want someone to say the quiet part out loud. If that's you, you're in the right place.

Ed Fowler's 40-year career in fire and EMS culminates in a transformative chapter as he helps El Reno, Oklahoma, transition its EMS from private to an in-house, city-managed service—an innovative model focusing on sustainability, independence, and community trust. Ed shares his leadership philosophy grounded in accountability, clear communication, and mentoring future leaders. Amid this professional milestone, Ed confronts a life-threatening liver condition, navigating the transplant process while ensuring the EMS startup stays on course. His story offers rare insight into the human side of emergency services, touching on resilience, collaboration, and purpose when facing the edge of life itself. Beyond operational challenges, Ed's vulnerability inspires those struggling with adversity to find reasons to keep moving forward.

Webinar page with video, slides, and moreWhat makes a Lean transformation last not just a few years, but two decades? At Electrolux, the answer wasn't more tools, more training, or more Kaizen events. The breakthrough came when the company realized that leadership behaviors — not Lean mechanics — were the deciding factor in whether improvement stuck.In this episode, Sandro Casagrande shares the story behind the Electrolux Manufacturing System (EMS), now in its 20th year. He explains why the early years of EMS produced uneven results, what changed when Electrolux shifted its focus to leadership habits, and how coaching routines, visual management, and leader standard work became the backbone of a sustainable improvement culture.Drawing from more than 30 years with Electrolux, Sandro details:• Why early EMS efforts succeeded in some plants but stalled in others• How leadership behaviors became the turning point in creating organizational habits• What neuroscience and habit loops taught Electrolux about sustaining change• How coaching — not directing — accelerates team development and problem solving• How sites reach gold and platinum performance levels, and why those gains hold even through turnover, new products, and process changes• Why zero-injury safety goals became both realistic and expected• How digitalization and platforms like KaiNexus now support global consistency and scaleSandro also lifts the curtain on Electrolux's leadership academy: a months-long experiential system where leaders learn by doing — running improvement cycles, receiving coaching, and ultimately becoming coaches themselves.If you're trying to build a culture where improvement happens every day, not just during events or crises, Sandro's journey offers practical, hard-earned insight into what it really takes.About the GuestSandro Casagrande is the Group Methodology & Documentation Leader at Electrolux. His Lean journey began in 1994, and he has been central to EMS from its earliest pilot projects through today's global digitalization efforts. He was the first Italian to achieve EMS Master Gear certification and continues to guide EMS implementation across all business areas.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode, Matt shares a personal Thanksgiving story that turned into a real medical emergency. A long-time family friend suddenly becomes unresponsive at the dinner table, and Matt walks through the moment he had to decide whether to act, despite not being “formally” current on CPR.He talks candidly about what it felt like to drag her to the floor, check for breathing, make the call to start chest compressions, hear ribs crack—and then watch her come back. From there, he connects the experience to life in an automotive shop: CPR and first-aid readiness, AEDs, fire extinguishers, panic, freezing, and why “somebody will know what to do” is not a plan.It's a conversation about preparedness, stress, and how our greatest weapon really is the thought we choose when everything suddenly goes sideways.Episode HighlightsOpening with the quote: “Our greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.”Matt fighting a cold and joking about his “Nat King Cole” voice.Thanksgiving at his parents' house: Family and close friends gathered, including a 75-year-old family friend (“Jane”) who's been part of the family's holidays for years.Jane says she's really dizzy; Matt gets up to escort her to the living room.Her chin suddenly drops to her chest, she becomes unresponsive, cold, and clammy.The decision point:Matt checks for airway, tries to feel for a pulse, listens for breathing—only hears gurgling.Admits he doesn't fully trust his own ability to feel a pulse with his heart pounding.The mental calculus: If you can't be sure, what else is there to do but chest compressions?Starting chest compressions:Dragging her to the floor and focusing completely on her while the rest of the room “disappears.”Locking his elbows, using the beat of “Stayin' Alive” as a guide.First compression: feeling and hearing the sternum/ribs crack—and taking that as feedback that he's at the right depth.Before the second compression, her eyes fly open and she lets out a sound.The immediate emotional whiplash:First feeling isn't relief, but anger and self-doubt: “Did I just overreact?” “Did I crack her ribs for nothing?” “Was this some dramatic hero move I didn't need to make?”Reorienting to the reality that she was unresponsive and now is awake, talking, and oriented.EMS arrives:Very low blood pressure at the house (around 70/40).Hooked up to a 4-lead, showing atrial fibrillation with PVCs.Matt nerds out on the waveforms and explains AFib and PVCs in plain terms.EMTs jokingly ask if he's a doctor because of how well he reads the traces.Later imaging reveals:A cracked or stress-fractured sternum from compressions.Multiple blood clots in her lungs.The doctor tells her that sternum fractures are common with CPR and adds:Don't be mad at him — he saved your life.For Matt, the key relief is not the “hero” label, but confirmation that he did the right thing by acting.Connecting it back to shops and real life:Afterward, Matt starts calling around trying to set up CPR and first-aid training.Hard question: if he drops at the shop, who's going to act?Extending the concern beyond employees: what about customers?Preparedness checklist for shops:Is there an AED on-site, and does anyone actually know how to use it?Has anyone at the shop had recent CPR and first-aid training?Do...

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore a powerful emotional truth most first responders (Amazon Affiliate) never say out loud: being called a hero doesn't always feel good — or accurate. Police, fire, EMS, and dispatch professionals often get labeled as heroes by the public, the media, and sometimes even their own families. But many responders feel uncomfortable, unworthy, or even resentful of that title. Not because they lack pride in their work — but because the things they've seen, the mistakes they replay, and the trauma they carry don't line up with the shiny narrative. This episode digs into the quiet conflict between the identity the world gives you and the identity you actually live with, and why so many responders struggle to feel heroic despite their sacrifice.

The group continues to take questions from the audience regarding how to start a campus-based EMS system, funding, and how to impress upon the university/college administration members the importance of such a in-house response system at any level,

In this episode, the crew kicks things off with pure mayhem — snowstorms in Michigan, salmon rain in California, and a spontaneous performance of “It's Raining Men.” From there, the guys dive into housekeeping, holiday updates, merch drops, and a surprising announcement from Brian about his upcoming Fire Marshals International Swimsuit Calendar.But the main topic?

Jack, known online as Electric Medic, shares an unfiltered look at his journey through EMS—from earning his med school diploma to working high-stakes gigs like Electric Daisy Carnival cruises. He reveals what keeps him grounded amid intense calls, the challenges of overnight shifts, and why the low-speed fender bender calls grind his gears. Jack dives into his unexpected rise on TikTok and Instagram, explaining how viral videos and smart collaborations launched his digital brand. Beyond ambulance life, he thrives on music festival EMS work, mixing adrenaline with creativity, including collabs with dubstep artist Subtropics. He also reflects on teamwork, mental toughness, and the importance of pursuing a clear social media focus. For anyone curious about the blend of healthcare hustle and online content creation, Jack's story showcases the raw reality and unexpected opportunities within modern EMS culture.

Started out her medical career as an EKG tech and in EMS as an EMT for one of the first ambulance companies in the areaShe saw the disconnect between the provider that people wanted to become and who they became, and she didn't want that to be true for herselfShe became an attending in 1991 and now has close to 40 years in emergency medicineShe became a physician when it was predominantly a male fieldJulie talks about some of the things that have changed over timeWe need to have empathy for the people that come in for non-emergent complaints and realize that we have the honor in the ED to fill all the gaps in the wider medical systemWe talk about the increase in transparency with patients and the access they now have to their lab work, imaging and chart and this helps us increase trust with patientsJulie talks about a paramedic partner she really admired and how well she treated patients, and how there wasn't a lot of female role models for her in med schoolI talk about how I also had partners that really improved the trajectory I was on as a new EMTSeek first to understand is one of the 7 habits of highly effective people and this relates directly to taking care of patientsJulie talks about how it was to be a woman in medicine and how her voice got dismissed as well as the dynamics that are at play with patientsJulie talks about burnout and how labyrinth therapy helped her.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton confront one of the most urgent and heartbreaking issues in the first responder community — the silent suicide epidemic (Amazon Affiiate). Police officers, firefighters, EMS professionals, dispatchers, corrections officers, and veterans are dying by suicide at rates that outpace line-of-duty deaths. And yet, the warning signs often go unnoticed, minimized, or misunderstood — not because people don't care, but because responders are experts at hiding their pain. This episode shines a direct light on the red flags, the root causes, and the actionable steps that can save lives before it's too late.

What do you do when someone on your team is struggling — and it's on you to say something? In this episode of the Inside EMS podcast, Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson dive headfirst into one of leadership's toughest challenges: holding people accountable without losing your humanity. This episode challenges leaders to ditch outdated progressive discipline models and start leading with clarity and empathy. Whether you're a seasoned supervisor or new to the hot seat, this one hits home. And if you've been avoiding a conversation, consider this your nudge to stop choosing comfort over your own integrity. Quotable takeaways “Firing people with compassion, managing your ego, their ego, admitting mistakes and just being human — these are the places where real leaders show up.” “One of the things I try to teach is that I don't fire anybody — I just process the paperwork. People fire themselves.” “EMS is a very egotistical business, and it's that ego that keeps us from asking questions. Because we don't want to look like we don't know what we're talking about in front of our peers.” Enjoying Inside EMS? Email theshow@ems1.com to share feedback or suggest a guest!

In March of 2018, 31-year-old Jennifer Myers was pronounced deceased by EMS at the home of a stranger, from what was later ruled a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her family may never have the answers they so desperately want, but there's multiple loose ends that show that the investigation into Jen's death fell short. Will Jen's case remain closed with a rushed ruling of suicide, or will detectives finally hear the family's pleas for a reopening of the case and give them the answers they deserve?
