From the Patriot Mobile Studios powered by eSpaces, the Try That In A Small Town Podcast crew sits down for a raw, unfiltered hang. Tully, Kurt, Thrash, Kaylo and Neil talk about everything from health scares and terrible sleep to the emotional toll of chasing hits in a “failure business” and wondering if this podcast is actually any good.They celebrate Jason Aldean's multi‑week No. 1 with “Try That In A Small Town,” shout out Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs, and then pull back the curtain on how little songwriters and session players really make in the streaming era. They debate AI‑written songs, the madness of modern politics, bathroom etiquette, and why a fast‑food combo in a tiny Tennessee town now costs 14 dollars.If you've ever chased a creative dream, wondered why some shows blow up and others stall in “podcast purgatory,” or just love small‑town stories with a heavy dose of honesty and sarcasm, this one's for you. And yes… they really want to know: are they good, or do they suck?

Drop us a note about the podcast. A single Scripture can change how you see everything and Psalm 2 does not whisper. We start with God's warning to rulers and His promise of joy for anyone who takes refuge in Him, then we bring that lens to a modern story of violence in Lancaster, South Carolina. The question we keep circling is simple and uncomfortable: when we talk about immigration, crime, and ideology, do we remember the real victims and our responsibility to protect the vulnerable right in front of us?We also slow down and pray for listeners who are anxious, depressed, fearful, or at the end of themselves, and for those who serve in the military, law enforcement, EMS, and firefighting. From there we turn to Proverbs 5:18–19 and speak plainly about marriage, desire, and why churches often avoid the parts of Scripture that challenge our comfort. If you want Bible-based marriage encouragement that does not sugarcoat reality, this part will make you think and maybe prompt some honest conversations at home.Then we read Acts 22 and follow Paul through injustice, lawful appeal, and a chaotic council, connecting it to Proverbs 18:13 about the danger of spouting off before listening to the facts. We close with a piece of American Christian heritage: JCPenney's Great Depression collapse, a hospital hallway hymn, and a surrender that lifted crushing worry. If you need a reminder that faith in crisis is not bravado but release, this story lands.

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with J.R. Pickett — unpack the controversial and high-stakes topic of what used to be called excited delirium.They dig into the history of the syndrome (Bell's mania, acute exhaustive mania, agitated delirium), why major organizations including ACEP, ACMT, and the National Association of Medical Examiners have rejected the term, and the preferred modern language: hyperactive delirium with severe agitation. The conversation covers real-world presentation, the physiologic cascade that can lead to sudden cardiovascular collapse, the critical differences between a contained hospital environment and the uncontrolled street or austere setting, and the hard lessons from the Elijah McClain case.J.R. walks through practical decision-making for EMS and tactical medics: when de-escalation is possible, when sedation becomes necessary, why intramuscular ketamine remains the most forgiving and rapid option for the violently agitated patient, how to prepare for the predictable risks (brief apnea, loss of airway protection, metabolic derangement), and why continuous medical eyes-on monitoring after sedation is non-negotiable. They also address the dangerous intersection of law enforcement and medical care, the myth of “if they can talk they can breathe,” and the growing criminalization of medical decision-making that threatens providers' willingness to engage.Key TakeawaysThe condition is a true medical emergency with historically high mortality, even without restraint or intervention.Engagement ability is a practical field litmus test: if the patient cannot be redirected or answer basic questions, rapid intervention is usually required.Ketamine's wide therapeutic index and rapid IM onset make it the preferred agent for violent agitation when IV access is impossible — but it is not risk-free.Sedation is a procedure. Have airway equipment, monitors, and a clear team plan ready before the drug is given. Continuous medical provider eyes-on is mandatory in the early phase.“If you can talk, you can breathe” is dangerous teaching. Treat complaints of inability to breathe seriously.Noble intent + thorough preparation is the best defense against both bad outcomes and the growing criminalization of medical care.Chapters02:45 – What is (or was) excited delirium?

EMS workers are mourning the loss of one of their own. Longtime paramedic and inventory technician Chuck Brady died by suicide earlier this month. He worked with Allina Health EMS for 17 years. Paramedics are one of the many professions that experience unique mental health challenges. EMS providers are 1.39 times more likely to die by suicide than the public according to the CDC. Joining Minnesota Now to remember Chuck and talk about the mental health challenges EMS providers face is Brett Hopper. He is a paramedic and union president for the International Association of EMTs and Paramedics Local 167.

Send us Fan MailToday's guest has built a career around telling extraordinary stories—but first, he lived one.Kevin Hazzard is a former paramedic whose years on the ambulance inspired his bestselling memoir, A Thousand Naked Strangers. Since then, he's become an acclaimed journalist, television writer, and bestselling author, uncovering some of the most remarkable and overlooked stories in emergency medicine.His book American Sirens tells the incredible story of the pioneering Black men of Freedom House Ambulance who helped invent modern paramedicine, while his newest book, No One's Coming, explores the unconventional heroes our government calls when the impossible needs to get done.But Kevin's journey has taken another unexpected turn. After years of writing about healthcare and reflecting on his own experiences in EMS, he's now a nurse, stepping back into the world of patient care from an entirely new perspective.That unique vantage point—as a former paramedic, author, historian, storyteller, and future nurse—gives him an uncommon perspective on how healthcare has evolved, where it's headed, and what today's clinicians need to succeed.In all honesty, I almost postponed our conversation because I was not in a good headspace. I am so thankful I didn't because Kevin's humanity was just the thing I needed to remind me why I'm here.In the five-minute snippet: He might never leave this island. For Kevin's bio, visit my website (link below).Contact The Conversing Nurse podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconversingnursepodcast/Website: https://theconversingnursepodcast.comYour review is so important to this Indie podcaster!

Every story this week is the same story: powerful men demanding that you prove yourself to them while refusing to prove a goddamn thing to you.Prove your citizenship, in person, on paper, to register to vote. Prove you condemned the right slogans loudly enough to be allowed at a memorial in your own city. Meanwhile a sitting United States Senator cannot be produced on camera after 43 days, the Pentagon subtracts fifteen wounded Americans from its own ledger and offers a duty officer who is never at the desk, and the President of the United States announces a fourth term in a red hat and then says he is only kidding. This episode covers the Weekend at Mitchie's Counter and the EMS audio nobody wants to talk about, the SAVE Act as a pre-written excuse rather than a bill, four female reporters attacked in six days, a six hour Truth Social bender that produced a time travel epic and a wall against Canadian air, three hundred families petitioning to bar the first Muslim mayor of New York from Ground Zero, the debut of a brand new recurring segment with original music, James Carville nominating from his recovery bed the kid his party threw out an airlock, and Nick Turse's reporting on a casualty count that runs backwards. Reality Check is the one that will get Robin yelled at: the policies are popular, the vehicle cannot carry them, and the reason is machinery, not messaging....the DSABecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

Dr. Scott Walter is Director of Technology Transfer and Transition for the 59th Medical Wing of the Defense Health Agency located in San Antonio, Texas. The development of freeze-dried blood is a ground-breaking technology aimed at enabling medics to administer lifesaving blood transfusions at the point of injury. Scott highlights the logistical challenges of current blood products such as short shelf life, blood matching, and the need for cold storage, which this new technology would overcome. One of his current missions is to launch a prize competition to accelerate research, development, and commercialization of this technology, shifting the financial risk from the government to industry and expanding the uses of this product to dramatically improve survival rates and reduce long-term complications.   Scott explains, "Donated blood is very perishable lasting only about six weeks from the date of collection, and it must be maintained just above freezing until it's needed. And then it has to be warmed to body temperature before it can be infused. That makes it really difficult to impossible for medics to carry blood products with them when they're treating patients in remote austere locations like battlefields, for example."   "Well, the key is that freeze-drying enables the donated blood components to be collected, stored, and stockpiled for years after collection. The freeze-dried blood products can be carried by EMS units and medics. Then, once reconstituted, it can be given anywhere without the need for refrigeration." #TraumaCare #EmergencyMedicine #PrehospitalCare #CriticalCare #TransfusionMedicine #MilitaryMedicine #Innovation #FreezeDriedBlood #PatientOutcomes #GlobalHealth DISCLAIMER: The views expressed in this podcast transcript are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Defense Health Agency, Department of War, nor the U.S. Government.

Steve Wirth has spent more than 5 decades helping shape the EMS profession as a paramedic, attorney, consultant, educator, author, and mentor. In Episode 332 of the Medic2Medic Podcast, Steve joins me for a wide-ranging conversation that goes well beyond EMS law.We discuss the early days of his career in rural Pennsylvania, what inspired him to pursue a career in law, and the chance meeting with EMS pioneer Jim Page that helped lay the foundation for what would become Page, Wolfberg & Wirth, one of the most respected EMS law firms in the country. Steve also shares memorable stories about Randolph Mantooth, reflects on the mentors who influenced his career, and talks about the honor of being recognized as one of Pennsylvania's EMS Legends.The conversation also explores how Page, Wolfberg & Wirth became involved with the documentary Into the Unknown and why telling the authentic story of today's EMS professionals is so important. There are few surprises as well. And because no Medic2Medic episode is ever completely predictable, our Executive Producer, Bailey Belle, my Golden Retriever, decided it was the perfect time to make her presence known. I left that moment in because sometimes the best conversations are the unscripted ones.This episode is filled with history, humor, leadership, and stories that remind us how relationships, mentorship, and a passion for serving others have helped shape the EMS profession we know today.Subscribe to Medic2Medic wherever you get your podcasts, and if you enjoy the show, please share this episode with a colleague or friend.

Esta semana, a actualidade fica marcada pela chegada a Lisboa do líder do PAIGC, Domingos Simões Pereira, autorizado a sair da Guiné-Bissau para receber tratamento médico especializado. Em São Tomé e Príncipe, Carlos Vila Nova foi reeleito Presidente à primeira e por Cabo Verde, que acolheu a V Conferência da Década do Oceano.  Domingos Simões Pereira chegou na madrugada desta sexta-feira, 24 de Julho, a Lisboa para receber tratamento médico especializado, depois de a justiça militar da Guiné-Bissau ter suspendido por 90 dias a prisão preventiva a que estava sujeito. O PAIGC considera que o processo tem motivações políticas, enquanto o líder do partido deverá dedicar os próximos meses à recuperação clínica antes de decidir o seu regresso ao país. O porta-voz do PAIGC, Muniro Conté, afirmou que Domingos Simões Pereira vai dar prioridade à recuperação clínica, mas reiterou que mantém o compromisso de regressar à Guiné-Bissau e retomar a actividade política assim que o seu estado de saúde o permita. O Governo português confirmou o acolhimento do dirigente por razões médicas e humanitárias, na sequência de um pedido apresentado pela família. A decisão do juiz de instrução criminal Mamadú Embaló determina, no entanto, que Domingos Simões Pereira mantém o estatuto de preso durante o período de suspensão da medida de coacção e fica impedido de exercer qualquer actividade político-partidária enquanto permanecer fora da Guiné-Bissau. Findos os três meses previstos na decisão judicial, o tribunal voltará a apreciar a sua situação processual. Em São Tomé e Prícipe, Carlos Vila Nova foi reeleito Presidente da República à primeira volta, com 55,94% dos votos, segundo os resultados preliminares da Comissão Eleitoral Nacional.O principal adversário, Nito d'Abreu, obteve 41,42% dos votos. Eugénio Tiny e Miques João, candidatos independentes, não ultrapassarm os 2%.  Carlos Vila Nova prometeu respeitar a Constituição do país ser o Presidente de todos os são-tomenses. Em Cabo Verde, terminou ontem, na ilha da Boa Vista, a quinta Conferência da Década do Oceano. O encontro reuniu cientistas, decisores políticos, empresários, organizações ambientais e representantes de instituições nacionais e internacionais para discutir soluções sustentáveis para os oceanos, sob o lema "Economia Azul: Caminhos Sustentáveis". Em Moçambique, o Instituto Nacional de Gestão e Redução do Risco de Desastres alerta para a possibilidade de ocorrência do fenómeno El Niño durante a época chuvosa de 2026-2027. Segundo o INGD, o fenómeno poderá provocar um défice de precipitação em várias regiões do centro e sul do país, com consequências na disponibilidade de água e na produção agrícola. As autoridades apelam à população para acompanhar as previsões meteorológicas e seguir as recomendações de prevenção. Em Angola, ajustiça angolana condenou dois cidadãos russos, detidos desde agosto do ano passado, a penas de 11 e 8 anos de prisão pelos crimes de associação criminosa, espionagem, terrorismo e retenção ilegal de moeda. No mesmo processo, Oliveira Francisco, membro da ala juvenil da UNITA, foi absolvido. Já o jornalista da Televisão Pública de Angola, Amor Carlos Tomé, foi condenado a dois anos de prisão, pena suspensa na sua execução. O advogado de defesa dos arguidos angolanos, David Guz, recorda que a execução das penas permanece suspensa até à decisão do recurso apresentado pelo Ministério Público. A defesa optou por não recorrer da sentença.

Send us Fan MailDavid Suzuki, founder and CEO of Bio-Therapeutic, explains frequency specific microcurrent: how it stimulates the mitochondria, why ATP decline drives aging, and what the clinical data shows.What is Bio-Therapeutic?A second generation, FDA registered device manufacturer founded in the 1970s by Suzuki's father, an electrical engineer who worked on Boeing missile systems before turning to the body's own electrical system. "Every function in the human body is powered by cellular energy, but the frequencies are what the commands are."How does aging relate to mitochondria and ATP?ATP production peaks in the mid 20s and declines, leaving damage unrepaired. Collagen, elastin, and circulation are all ATP driven. "What I really have when I look in the mirror is age... a collection of damage that I no longer have enough cellular energy to repair in real time."What is the difference between EMS, TENS, and microcurrent?EMS twitches muscles and above roughly 300 microamps shuts the mitochondria down. TENS controls pain without healing. Microcurrent works low. "If you're down in the more 40 to 80 microamps, that's really where the sweet zone is." A 1982 study found low microamperage can generate up to 500 times more ATP.What does the clinical data show?University of Washington studies found wound healing "sped up by nearly four times," plus a 14 percent collagen synthesis improvement, a 48 percent elasticity increase, and a 38 percent circulation increase over roughly 20 days.What order should you layer microcurrent with skincare?Cleanse, exfoliate, microcurrent, then products smallest molecule to largest. The stratum corneum is non living and non conductive. "70 to 80 percent of the products that you put on topically will get caught up in the stratum corneum and never make it to the living tissue."How much does microcurrent improve absorption?"Your electricity is going to help get much better absorption into the skin, maybe 50 to 60 percent more than if you were just topically applied," provided the skin is properly exfoliated first.Why does ingredient concentration matter?Many brands cite a study's results while dosing a fraction of the studied amount. "That is a true statement. They just left out the fact that it was a 2 percent introduction of that particular key ingredient."What pairs well with microcurrent?LED across blue, yellow, and red wavelengths, plus oxygen infusion, since the Krebs cycle is aerobic. "You start to spray that onto the surface of the skin... your mitochondria are chirping like little birds."Can you use microcurrent with Botox and fillers?Yes, with coordination and timing. "You just want to make sure that whoever your injector is, that they're aware that you're doing microcurrent." Expect a three to four week gap, longer for fillers.How is microcurrent different from microneedling or laser?Those work through controlled damage. Microcurrent upregulates what the body already does, and it moves muscle. "There's nothing else that does the sculpture of the face. And that's where microcurrent comes in."Does microcurrent fatigue your muscles?Not at proper levels. High current EMS depletes localized ATP; low level microcurrent does the opposite. "You can't really overdo it with microcurrent, but you can basically really regenerate them and make them healthy."Is microcurrent safe for the heart?Facial current stays localized between the probes. Federally required contraindications include "pacemaker, any sort of heart issues, thrombosis, phlebitis." Anyone with a heart condition or implant should clear it with their physician.Listen to the full episode with David Suzuki of Bio-Therapeutic on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Shop Bio-TherapeuticDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaborationSupport the show

Improving maternal health outcomes requires coordinated systems that ensure every patient receives the right level of care at the right time. In this bonus, long-form episode, Daniel Edney, ASTHOpresident-elect and state health officer for the Mississippi State Department of Health, explains how Mississippi is using Rural Health Transformation Program grant funding to build a statewide obstetrical system of care, establish new neonatal intensive care units, strengthen EMS coordination, and close critical gaps in care for rural communities. He also discusses how data, innovation, and broad partnerships are driving the state's effort to reduce maternal and infant mortality. Later, Ramya Flores, director of Maternal and Infant Health at ASTHO, puts Mississippi's work into a national context, highlighting how states are adopting levels of maternal care to improve access to risk-appropriate services. She outlines the partnerships, investments, and implementation strategies that support successful maternal care systems and previews ASTHO's latest resources to help states advance this work.

EMS has long been technologically underserved compared to hospital systems, forcing medics to perform high-stress mental math in the field. On the JEMS Podcast, OneDose co-founders Tristan and Colton Hazlett share how they're changing that dynamic. What started as a hardware project in their parents' basement, resulting in the OneWeight smart gurney scale, has evolved into a comprehensive medication safety platform.   The OneDose app integrates directly with major EPCRs like ESO and ImageTrend to streamline clinical workflows and reduce cognitive load. Its standout features include a voice-to-voice AI Assistant for quick protocol summaries and a digital cross-check system that scans medication vials to flag concentration mismatches. By replacing manual calculations with precise dosing support, OneDose helps medics keep their focus on patients rather than screens.   This podcast is brought to you by OneDose. https://myonedose.com/ems-app/?utm_source=jems&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ai_healthcare

Send us Fan MailYour body can hit full panic speeds while your brain has to make courtroom-clean decisions. That tension sits at the center of my conversation with Eric Robinson, a former pastor turned FBI agent who spent 24 years in the Bureau and served on SWAT. We get real about what it means to approach a door knowing you might meet violence, and why true calm is not bravado, it is competence built through training, repetition, and trust in your teammates.Eric walks us through a deadly force encounter that includes the grim reality of suicide by cop, the adrenaline surge that can slam your heart rate into the 170s, and the strange way time can feel stretched while everything happens fast. We talk about the “fog” that can follow, the mental replay that steals sleep, and why the what if loop feels so sticky even when the shoot is justified. If you work in policing, fire, EMS, dispatch, corrections, or any high-risk role, you'll recognize the mix of duty, humanity, and aftermath.We also dig into what actually supports first responder mental health after critical incidents: solid leadership, a smart after-action review, optional support that people can choose, and a team culture that stays close instead of ostracizing shooters out of legal fear. Along the way we hit the odd corners of FBI work, interagency cooperation, and the dark humor that helps people survive what the public never sees.

Episode Summary      On January 18, 2018, in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, Green Beret combat medic Luke Sciulli stopped being the medic and became the patient. A booby-trapped building collapsed on him during a personnel-recovery operation, fracturing his C4, C5, and C6 vertebrae, both scapulas, and his pelvis, and leaving him with a spinal cord injury at C5. In this episode of WarDocs, SFC(R) Luke Sciulli walks through that day and the MEDEVAC chain that followed — forward surgical team, Kandahar, Landstuhl, and Walter Reed — and explains how living through the system he once operated permanently reshaped his view of casualty care, pain management, and patient advocacy.   SFC(R) Sciulli is candid about the recovery that nearly broke him. He describes the culture shock of moving from elite combat operations to a 30-bed spinal cord injury ward populated largely by elderly veterans, and the slow, deliberate realization that, in his words, the only person who was going to make his life better was him. He maps the framework that pulled him back — physical health, mental health, and career — and offers a direct message to wounded operators who cannot get out of bed: the discipline that earned the Beret, the Tab, or the Trident is still inside them.   The conversation then widens into the operational and strategic challenges Sciulli has tackled across an extraordinary career. He compares civilian and military trauma systems and argues that surgeons in major American cities now see more penetrating trauma than many military providers — making military-civilian partnerships essential to keeping skills sharp. He recounts building a joint, combined MEDEVAC architecture across five African nations, and embedding at forward surgical teams in Ukraine just kilometers from the front, where 60 to 90 casualties a day exposed gaps in Role 1 and Role 2 doctrine, risk tolerance, and interoperability that U.S. tabletop exercises rarely surface.   SFC(R) Sciulli also draws on his time supervising a 216-bed field hospital at Columbia University during the 2020 COVID surge and his current work with Vigilant Consulting and Valinor Enterprises advising on tactical medical technology. He makes the case for predictive analytics, wearables, and automated resuscitation systems to force-multiply providers in large-scale combat operations — while confronting the risk-acceptance and accountability questions that slow adoption. He closes with the cause he intends to define his legacy: fixing the negligent disconnect that leaves SOF medics and operators underutilized in the civilian, defense, and healthcare worlds, and expanding the transition programs that turn their hard-won skills into lives saved at home.

The standard WarDocs welcome sets up a firsthand look at military medicine from the austere edge of combat to the front lines of innovation. (01:10-05:30) Becoming the Casualty in Helmand Province SFC(R) Sciulli recounts volunteering to backfill a buddy's ODA as senior medic and the January 18, 2018 operation in which a booby-trapped building collapsed onto him. He details catastrophic injuries — broken C4-C6, a C5 spinal cord injury, fractured scapulas and pelvis — and the MEDEVAC through the forward surgical team toward higher care, including how his teammates stabilized and moved him. (05:30-11:30) The Recovery That Rewired Everything He describes six months split between Walter Reed and the Tampa VA, the jolt of moving from combat to a spinal cord injury ward, and the loss of career, health, and identity overnight. The turning point came when he accepted that no one else could make his life better, and built a deliberate framework around physical health, mental health, and career. (11:30-15:45) Civilian and Military Medicine, Two Ways Drawing on his paramedic, firefighter, and critical-care flight background plus SF service, Sciulli argues civilian surgeons now out-rep many military providers on penetrating trauma, making military-civilian partnerships essential. He also reflects on serving as senior medical provider for SEAL Teams Two and Eight and why interoperability comes down to people and personality. (15:45-22:45) Distance, Mass Casualties, and Lessons from Ukraine He explains building a joint, combined MEDEVAC system across Chad, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Libya, then scales the problem to the Indo-Pacific and Eastern Europe. Embedded at forward surgical teams in Ukraine, he saw 60 to 90 casualties a day and learned hard lessons about volume, interoperability, civilian EMS integration, and U.S. risk tolerance. (22:45-32:30) Field Hospitals, Tactical Technology, and Risk SFC(R) Sciulli describes supervising a 216-bed COVID field hospital at Columbia University and why a military-style community made it work. He then identifies penetrating and shrapnel trauma as a top killer and makes the case for wearables, predictive analytics, and automated resuscitation — confronting the risk acceptance and human trust that slow adoption. (32:30-36:15) Recruiting the Next Force and a SOF Medic Legacy Speaking to students, residents, and recruiters, Sciulli reframes the pitch: the military needs people willing to operate beyond their comfort zone and scope, not just another credential. He closes on the legacy he intends to leave — fixing the negligent disconnect that leaves SOF medics and operators underutilized after service. Take Home Messages Experiencing Care Builds the Best Advocates: Living through the casualty evacuation chain as the patient teaches lessons no provider can learn from the other side of the litter. Empathy, pain management, and patient advocacy take on new meaning once a clinician has been the one strapped to the litter. Recovery Is a Decision You Make Daily: The hardest part of catastrophic injury is mental, not physical. Progress comes from a conscious choice to get up and be better than yesterday, supported by resources but driven by personal ownership of physical health, mental health, and career. Keep Military Providers Sharp in Civilian Trauma: Civilian surgeons in major cities now see more penetrating trauma and polytrauma than many military clinicians. An integrated military-civilian system that rotates providers through high-volume civilian centers is essential to keeping wartime skills ready. Plan for Volume, Distance, and Interoperability: Future large-scale combat means moving casualties across oceans and continents while relying on host-nation, partner, and civilian systems. High casualty volumes and contested distance demand generalist skill, civilian EMS integration, and a higher tolerance for operational risk. Close the Gap Between Research and the Warfighter: Government funds enormous amounts of combat casualty research and technology that never reaches frontline providers fast enough. The mission is to translate proven findings and devices into the warfighter's hands tomorrow — not years from now.   Episode Keywords military medicine, combat medicine, Green Beret medic, 18D combat medic, special forces medic, combat casualty care, TCCC, spinal cord injury recovery, polytrauma, Helmand Province, Walter Reed, MEDEVAC, forward surgical team, Ukraine combat medicine, mass casualty, large scale combat operations, LSCO, prolonged field care, tactical medicine, medical device innovation, SOF medic, military civilian partnership, WarDocs, Luke Sciulli, veteran resilience, penetrating trauma   Hashtags #MilitaryMedicine, #CombatMedicine, #GreenBeret, #WarDocs, #CombatCasualtyCare, #SOFMedic, #VeteranResilience, #TacticalMedicine   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission- WarDocs exists to honor the legacy of Military Medicine, preserve its history, and inspire every generation — across all Services, Corps, and Ranks — to serve with excellence and pride.

On July 10, 2026, Randolph Mantooth - aka Johnny Gage - passed away. For anyone who grew up or worked in fire and EMS in the 70's, this dramatic television series probably impacted your career in some way, and even if you didn't, it clearly influenced the service as it exists today. In this first of a series of episodes, I got to speak with two fire chiefs - one who was a fire chief in the 70's and one who wanted to be a medical professional, then he saw EMERGENCY!Comments or suggestions?

Think a pulse oximeter reading of 100% means your patient is getting enough oxygen? Think again. In this episode of 10 Minute Medic, we'll uncover one of the biggest misconceptions in paramedic education by breaking down the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve in a way that finally makes sense. Using memorable analogies, real EMS scenarios, and practical field applications, you'll learn why oxygen sometimes refuses to leave hemoglobin, why a "normal" SpO₂ can hide life-threatening illness, and what carbon monoxide, cyanide, hypothermia, and sepsis all have in common. If you've ever memorized "left shift" and "right shift" without truly understanding them, this episode will change the way you think about oxygen delivery—and make you a better clinician on your very next call.

Contributor; Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: Thoracotomy  Thoracotomy is used in traumatic cardiac arrest to replace conventional CPR with direct access to the chest. Goals include identifying and controlling reversible causes of bleeding, prioritizing blood flow to the heart and brain, and performing open cardiac massage. Trauma categories Penetrating trauma: Gunshot wounds and stab wounds. Has a higher chance of survival because the injury may be localized and directly repairable. Cardiac stab wounds may have the highest survivability because the defect can be visualized, repaired, and treated with blood administration. Blunt trauma: Motor vehicle collisions and falls from height. Has a much lower chance of survival. Western guidelines EMS must witness the patient lose pulses. Penetrating trauma: CPR for less than 15 minutes. Blunt trauma: CPR for less than 10 minutes. Survival decreases to essentially zero beyond these time limits. Eastern guidelines Focus on the presence of signs of life in blunt or penetrating trauma. Signs of life may include: Pupillary response. Measurable blood pressure. Purposeful movement. Patient selection Thoracotomy should only be performed when the patient has a reasonable chance of survival. It is a highly morbid procedure with significant occupational risks, including needlestick injury. Appropriate patient selection and timing are essential. Procedure Begin on the left side of the chest. Cross-clamp the aorta to restrict blood flow below the heart and prioritize circulation to the heart and brain. Identify and repair visible sources of bleeding involving structures such as the heart or lungs. Perform open cardiac massage as the equivalent of CPR. ACLS medications may still be administered.

Reliable emergency medical services require sustained investments in equipment, workforce development, and preparedness. In this episode, ASTHO member and Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Debra Bogen discusses how the state's latest $6.6 million investment in EMS is improving patient care, supporting first responders, and strengthening emergency response across Pennsylvania. Dr. Bogen explains how regional EMS agencies are using new funding to purchase advanced equipment like video laryngoscopes and lift-assist devices, expand training opportunities, and recruit and retain the next generation of EMTs and paramedics. She also highlights how Pennsylvania uses EMS performance data to measure outcomes, improve quality, and identify areas for additional support.Leading Change October 2026DELPH Power of Leadership Micro-Conference

On this episode of NOON, I sit down with Nicole Hooser, a flight paramedic, firefighter paramedic, EMS instructor, and single mom from Missouri.Nicole's path into EMS started in one of the scariest ways possible: her newborn son stopped breathing at home, and she had to do CPR while being talked through it by a dispatcher. That moment changed everything for her.We talk about becoming a paramedic, getting into flight, pediatric calls, small-town EMS, teaching new providers, and why she never wanted to feel helpless in an emergency again.Podcast: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/1vAokfqG5aifoRBKk9MAUh?si=T8DipSBCQzWfOeiBW3h-Vw⁠FB Page: https://m.facebook.com/groups/nineoneonenonsense/?ref=shareInstagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/911nonsense/⁠X: ⁠https://twitter.com/911Nonsense⁠Bonfire Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/nine-one-one-nonsense/?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=store_page_share&utm_campaign=nine-one-one-nonsense&utm_content=defaultContent Warning: This episode contains discussions about death, including graphic and potentially triggering details.

"When Seconds Matter" is a strong, urgent PodcastDX episode.  It is a personal story about emergency response and the critical minutes before help arrives. It's focused on recognizing danger early, calling911 fast, starting CPR, and using an AED when needed. When Seconds Matter explores what to do in a true medical emergency, when every moment can determine whether a person survives. Drawing from a deeply personal story, the episode explains how to recognize signs of heart attack, cardiac arrest, drowning, and collapse, why immediate911 activation matters, and how CPR and AED use can save a life before EMS arrives.

Send us Fan MailIf peer support is supposed to be a safe place, why do so many first responders avoid it because they're afraid their story will end up in the station, the briefing room, or the chief's office? Stephanie Conn get blunt about the real problem behind “peer support doesn't work” and it's usually not the idea, it's trust, confidentiality, and what happens when one person treats private conversations like gossip.We walk through what strong peer support programs do differently: clear boundaries, transparent language about the narrow exceptions to confidentiality, and the courage to name the elephant in the room when a team's reputation has been damaged. We also dig into something that doesn't get said enough in police, fire, EMS, and dispatch culture: sometimes the healthiest move for a peer supporter is to hit pause. Stepping back because your capacity is shot isn't weakness, it's integrity, and pretending you're fine while telling others to “take care of yourself” is the fastest way to lose credibility.From there, we shift into resilience that actually fits first responder life. We talk about writing and teaching in plain language, translating research into tools people will use on shift, and why understanding the “why” behind strategies matters. Nutrition, stress hormones, sleep, and the messy reality of progress all come up, including the reminder that growth looks more like a squiggly line than a straight climb. We also preview a new peer support book and where to find it, plus a simple question we think every guest should answer: What is your why?If this helped you think differently about peer support and first responder mental health, subscribe, share the episode with a coworker, and leave a review so more people can find it.You can find everything about Stephanie, including her books at her website at https://firstresponderpsychology.comHer LinkedIn account is https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-stephanie-conn/DeemedFit: First Responder OwnedWe are a first responder owned company looking to get first responders in the best mental shape.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with retired police chief Brad Flynn to discuss a life-changing initiative that's helping first responders better serve individuals with sensory issues. Inspired by his son's autism diagnosis, Brad made it his mission to equip law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS with the tools to recognize and respond appropriately to people experiencing sensory overload. What began as a personal concern has grown into a nationwide effort—saving lives and transforming how emergency situations are handled. Brad shares powerful stories from the field, including moments where this training prevented tragedy, and explains how small changes—like reducing lights and noise—can make all the difference. This episode is a moving reminder that understanding, empathy, and the right training can turn potentially dangerous encounters into life-saving ones—and how one father's journey is changing the future for families everywhere.
