Dr. Jeff Gross — Board-certified neurological surgeon, biochemist, biohacker, founder of Celebrate Regenerative Medicine, and longevity/biohacking consultant based in Las Vegas & Southern California. Medical & Health Longevity Background: Dr. Gross trained at UC Berkeley (Biochemistry & Molecular Biology), George Washington University School of Medicine, UC Irvine (Neurosurgery), and UNM (Spinal Biomechanics). He has decades of frontline experience in spine surgery, sports injuries, regenerative medicine, and now consults on biohacking and longevity. Biohacking & Longevity: Biohacking is essentially circles back to ancient wellness wisdom (eat well, sleep, exercise)—but enhanced by modern science (measuring phytonutrients, leveraging tech like red light, hyperbaric therapy, protein timing, etc). Emphasizes that “prevention” is still the number one defense against the four top causes of death in Western countries; early proactive screening and lifestyle habits remain critical. There is increasing crossover between “traditional medicine” and “naturopathic”/“functional” approaches—Dr. Gross sees this convergence as positive and overdue, but notes resistance still exists in mainstream medicine. Emerging Business Opportunities in the Wellness Space: IV centers, cryotherapy, and retail biohacking clinics (hyperbaric O2, red light therapy, peptides, weight loss clinics, etc.) are booming, especially in health-conscious cities. Low-barrier options: health coaching, nutrition consulting, affiliate/online influencer businesses—Dr. Gross notes people he knows personally earning seven figures as wellness affiliates. Innovations: Short-form EMS (electro-muscular stimulation) workouts, “blood flow restriction” exercise systems, and more. Cancer screening clinics: Now possible with advanced genomics and blood-testing—these are in demand but not widely available through traditional doctors/insurance, opening more avenues for direct-to-consumer providers. Supplementation & Biohacking Basics: “Non-negotiables” for almost everyone: Vitamin D3 (& often K2): Most people are deficient; optimal blood levels promote longevity, reduce inflammation, and lower all-cause mortality. Magnesium: Especially at night for recovery and cellular repair. Creatine: Improves muscle mass, heart health, and brain health; well correlated with longevity. Probiotics: Modern lifestyles make gut health challenging—good probiotic support is important. Nicotine: Can be a cognitive enhancer in low doses and proper delivery (gum/patch, NOT smoking)—but is highly addictive. Other Business/Money Ideas: Successful affiliate and influencer businesses for those passionate about health and wellness. Emphasizes supplement sales (with high trust and real value), personalized coaching, and education are evergreen opportunities. Industry Critique: Criticizes health insurance as a “legal mafia,” noting it often adds cost and hassle while limiting real preventive care. Encourages listeners to be their “own best advocate” for health—don't rely only on five-minute mainstream doctor visits. Connect with Dr. Jeff Gross: https://recellebrate.com/

We've covered pre-oxygenation strategies and intubation alot on this podcast, mayber more than anyting else. We covered the definition of FPS in E74, the DEVICE trial on DL vs VL in E75, and the PREOXI trial of NIV vs Mask Pre-oxygenation in E86. Now we have another Preoxygenation paper, this one that reports no difference between preoxygenation with BVM and face mask. WTAF? Better listen, because it turns out words matter, definitions are... definitional, and we absolutely MUST read more than just the abstract. Citations:1.

This week on the Inside EMS podcast, Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson shine a spotlight on the kidneys and their impact on patient outcomes. What starts as a chat about chronic kidney stones quickly dives into a sharp, clinical breakdown of renal anatomy, physiology and the far-reaching consequences of kidney dysfunction in EMS care. Chris and Kelly unpack the kidneys' role in fluid balance, blood pressure regulation and acid-base stability, including how the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) system can either save a patient … or make things worse. They outline the key types of acute kidney injury (pre-renal, intrinsic, post-renal), tie them back to underlying anatomy, and explain why perfusion matters long before labs confirm failure. With field-focused tips on what to ask (yes, diaper counts matter), what to look for and how to manage critical complications, this episode gives medics the tools to recognize renal red flags early — and act fast. Additional resources: Acute kidney injury assessment and treatment The science behind shock: Why providers must understand the RAAS Caring for the dialysis patient One for the Road: Is this a kidney stone? Memorable quotes “In EMS, we don't really pay attention to the functioning of the kidneys until everything goes south.” “They're not lying when they say the kidneys are the windows to the viscera.” “Kidney problems don't happen in isolation.” Enjoying the show?

In this episode of The Real ResQ, host Jason Quinn is joined by William Boudreau and Kevin Bronson from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.Recorded live at their Keene, NH office, the episode dives into how both Boudreau and Bronson earned their place among the state's elite Search and Rescue professionals. We get a first-hand look at the tools, training, and responsibilities that make New Hampshire Fish and Game the cornerstone of rescue operations throughout the state.Bronson recalls his first rescue on Mt. Monadnock—a frigid mission to save a woman with a broken leg at the summit—while Boudreau shares memories from a dramatic flood response, where every available officer turned out with trucks, boats, and quads.Together, they recount a harrowing cliffside rescue: when an evening hike on Mount Kilburn became a life-or-death emergency, a young hiker's fall sparked a dramatic, multi-agency response. Listeners get an inside look as Fish and Game joined forces with local volunteer SAR climbers, fire and EMS crews, and the National Guard's H60 helicopter—air and ground teams working in concert to save a life.The episode also explores the department's unique capabilities in solving "cold cases," including the search for an individual missing for nearly half a century.Enjoy!This episode is powered by Vertical HeliCASTS.Thank you for sponsoring this episode of The Real ResQ: , ReadyBAR, and The Real ResQ Store.Follow The Real ResQ on Facebook and Instagram and listen on Vertical HeliCASTS.

More than 40 years ago, a two state agencies approached a local fire chief about partnering to provide helicopter based EMS service to Central Virginia. They joined forces with a medical teaching hospital and what emerged is a long standing multi-purpose EMS Provider that has set a standard for cooperation. Captain David Tollett was the Virginia State Police Aviation Unit Commander, and along with State EMS Director Susan McHenry, they approached Chesterfield County Fire Chief Robert Eanes in early 1984 and the rest is literally history.

In this edition of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence Zooms (literally) from the U.K. to South Carolina to spotlight one of the nation's most forward-thinking mobile integrated healthcare programs. Prisma Health's team has taken community paramedicine beyond buzzwords, designing targeted, evidence-based programs that meet people where they are — both geographically and medically. | MORE: How North Dakota EMS is confronting rising pediatric mental health crises Whether it's addiction medicine, rural HIV/HCV treatment or skilled nursing interventions, this team is shifting paradigms on what EMS can and should be doing. Rob is joined by four key voices from the Prisma Health MIH program: Luke Estes, director of MIH Dr. Mirinda Gormley, epidemiologist and biostatistician Wes Wampler, community paramedic specializing in addiction and infectious disease Parker Bailes, community paramedic and research contributor Together, they unpack how passion meets data to drive change, how to earn trust in communities overlooked by traditional systems, and why this work isn't just novel — it's necessary. This is EMS in its truest public health form. Memorable quotes “You delivered the goods—data-driven, community-connected care — and that's what EMS in 2025 needs more of.” — Rob Lawrence “When you see some of your people who have a passion for a certain pathway in EMS, you try to give them the reins and say, you're gonna do some good.” — Luke Estes “One of the big things that we learned from his study was that we really needed to go out and make sure everybody was aware that addiction is a disease.” — Mirinda Gormley “If we can gain their trust, there's a lot more that we can kind of weasel our way into to help them solve and get them on a healthier trajectory.” — Wes Wampler “Walking into the (care) facility with the mindset of, ‘I'm going to do everything I can to keep you here,' was a big shift for me.” — Parker Bailes “If we can set them up to be successful after they leave the hospital, I think that's the best way to get them reengaged with the hospital.” — Wes Wampler “As their leader … all I have to say is, what do you need? I'm here to support you.” — Luke Estes Additional resources EMS Clinician Perceptions on Prehospital Buprenorphine Administration Programs: Prehospital Emergency Care: Vol 29 , No 4 Implementation Barriers of Prehospital Buprenorphine Administration Programs in the United States: A Scoping Review: Prehospital Emergency Care: Vol 29 , No 4 Using Community Paramedicine to Treat Hepatitis C Virus in Upstate South Carolina - PMC Luke Estes BA, NRP, CCEMTP, PNCCT, FP-C, CP-C | LinkedIn Wesley Wampler | LinkedIn Support for harm reduction by community EMS How does a community re-imagine compassion to avoid crisis whenever possible?

I'd like to welcome to the show Dr. David M. Berry, MD, he is a growing voice in the recovery and addiction space, an area that we deal with a ton across EMS and the emergency departments. He is an Emergency Medicine physician with over two decades of experience. You can reach him at dberrymd@hotmail.com Burnout and moral injury – how do we avoid these in dealing with the addicted and psychiatric patients? We can't control most factors involving their long term care but David says: “give these folks the best care I know how to give them.” We can control what WE do We talk about the best way to communicate between providers when passing on patients to the next shift Dr. Berry talks about a patient he advocated for that he felt needed in-patient psychiatric admission but had been initially turned down He talks about the importance of working patients up appropriately and not ignoring patient complaints, getting the emotion out of it What would you do objectively if the patient was not a frequent flyer? Dr. Berry talks about a substance use clinic he helped open in Western Colorado He talks about meth addiction and how recovery works in his clinic He tells a story about the devastating effects of meth on a young patient The danger of meth is not in the withdrawal but the effects of it on your body Dr. Berry talks about the limbic system, the reptilian part of our brain. People who struggle with addiction have a missed connection. Normally, when the average person drinks, a message gets relayed back from the brain saying slow down, you have responsibilities, you have work, you have a family. The addict's brain doesn't send this message back, they just get the message to drink more cause it feels good. This applies to any addiction Their decider is broken, that's why they need a sponsor, and their brain can eventually rewire and make the needed connections The anatomy problem of missed or failing brain neurons is what is going wrong in the addict's brain This helps us understand where the blame truly needs to be placed, not on the addict for poor moral character or poor self-control but on a brain that isn't wired correctly Winston Churchill said everyone has an addiction, the key is finding one that is socially acceptable Dr. Berry talks about Recovered on Purpose, an organization in Denver, CO that is working on new treatments for addictions and help market treatment centers and help get peoplSupport the showFull show notes can be found here: Episodes - Practical EMS - Content for EMTs, PAs, ParamedicsMost efficient online EKG course here: Practical EKG Interpretation - Practical EMS earn 4 CME and learn the fundamentals through advanced EKG interpretation in under 4 hours.

The JEMS Report: Practical Insights for Out-of-Hospital Birth Challenges In this episode of the JEMS Report Podcast, managing editor Jeff Frankel sits down with Dr. Liz Travis, a maternal care researcher, to discuss the growing challenges EMS providers face with out-of-hospital births. They unpack the critical gaps in traditional EMS training, particularly as maternal care deserts expand, leaving medics increasingly responsible for delivering babies in the field. Dr. Travis shares evidence-based strategies like the importance of delayed cord clamping (“wait for white”), skin-to-skin contact, and encouraging comfortable, non-supine birthing positions to improve outcomes for mother and infant. She advocates for updated, hands-on EMS training that reflects modern obstetric knowledge, including collaboration with midwives and doulas. Above all, Dr. Travis emphasizes that birth is usually natural, not an emergency, encouraging EMS providers to remain calm and focus on simple, effective practices. This episode offers essential insights for paramedics and EMS agencies preparing to meet the demands of maternal care in underserved areas.

I'd like to welcome to the show Dr. David M. Berry, MD, he is a growing voice in the recovery and addiction space, an area that we deal with a ton across EMS and the emergency departments. He is an Emergency Medicine physician with over two decades of experience. You can reach him at dberrymd@hotmail.com We must remember, when working up these patients with addiction, they can have poor health baseline anyway, so they are at higher risk for something emergent to be going on Dr. Berry talks about this approach to opiate OD We have a small window between the ED and definitive care to help addicted patients move forward with treatment – a warm handoff to a treatment center or primary care that can monitor recovery is key We have specific rules for most emergencies but often psychiatry is not on a set system Holds may not always accomplish what we hope they will, it will not force someone to changeBut there is certainly a role for the patient who is genuinely suicidal We talk about good structure of evaluation and treatment of the psychiatric emergencies David talks about some patients he has been able to help with addiction recovery from his experience Don't underestimate the difference we can and do make with patients just because we don't always see the result Dr. Berry talks about the message he has for clinicians:We deal with a lot of emergencies, people actively dying, so when we hear a psych complaint or substance abuse complaint, we tend to mentally shuffle them into a lower priority. We need to remember to have empathy and take their complaints seriously, slow down with these patients We talk about the balance between empathy and detachment and burnout David talks about some methods of humanizing the experience for your patients and getting them to open up more We talk about anchor bias and how to protect from it David talks about conformation bias and how it relates in piloting an aircraft and emergency medicine A key question to ask before you leave a patient room is “Do you have any questions?” – This can be hard to ask because we often want to move on but it's so important to the patientSupport the showFull show notes can be found here: Episodes - Practical EMS - Content for EMTs, PAs, ParamedicsMost efficient online EKG course here: Practical EKG Interpretation - Practical EMS earn 4 CME and learn the fundamentals through advanced EKG interpretation in under 4 hours.

How well do EMS teams manage critically ill pediatric patients—and how do we know? In this episode of the EMS Educator Podcast, hosts Rob Lawrence and Maia Dorsett speak with Mark Cicero, lead author of a landmark study published in Prehospital Emergency Care. The study used simulation to assess EMS performance in pediatric emergencies. From medication dosing errors to missed fundamentals like cap refill checks, Dr. Cicero breaks down what the study revealed across more than 150 simulations in three states. Dr. Dorsett shares how the findings challenged her own assumptions as an educator and led to reflections on curriculum design, quality improvement, and the need for deliberate, high-frequency pediatric practice. They also explore the power of SIM Box—a free, low-tech, high-impact simulation toolkit—and how small, creative learning opportunities can help EMS clinicians gain confidence, accuracy, and readiness for rare but high-stakes pediatric calls. Whether you're a field provider, educator, or medical director, this episode offers practical insights and real tools to help build a system of pediatric care that's proactive, not reactive. Ginger Locke highlights the episode's key points with her "Mindset Minute."

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comThe idea behind Dolce Far Niente was to create a portfolio of low-risk investments for today's market conditions, that you can buy and, pretty much, forget about. You don't have to keep checking prices every day. Hence “Dolce Far Niente” - “the sweetness of doing nothing.” No worries would be the Australian translation.Asset allocation is WAY more important than individual stock-picking. I could pick the best biotech company in the world, but if biotech is in a bear market, I almost needn't bother. I'm better off out of the sector. But similarly, if a sector is in a full-on bull market, even pigs fly.The starting point for the portfolio, which we began on October 1, 2023, was as follows.* Gold: 15%* Bitcoin: 5%* Special situations: 10% (the ”fun” part of the portfolio, for example some of the smallcaps I write about on here)* Uranium: 5% (reduced to 2.5% as things got frothy)* Oil and Gas: 10%* Bonds and Wealth Preservation: 20%* Equities (35%)* UK & Europe (20%)* US (25%)* Smaller cos and private equity (30%)* Asia (15%)* Japan (5%)* EMs (5%)No allocation to real estate.Please like and share this post. It helps :)Since that October 2023 starting point, certain assets - gold, bitcoin and US equities - now account for far greater percentages, with energy, bonds and wealth preservation not having done so well.If you are starting this portfolio now, I would still recommend sticking to the original allocation and letting things grow.Really, I should re-allocate, but I don't want to sell any bitcoin and I don't want to sell any gold. In fact, to be honest, there is a very strong case for just owning bitcoin and being done with everything else. But that wouldn't be balanced and that's not what this portfolio is about.The only change we have made since October 2023 was to reduce uranium from 5% to 2.5% in February 2024. Uranium felt a bit frothy was the reason. More a gut- than evidence-based decision, and it proved the right one. I'm going to make one, quite major change to the portfolio today - in the equities department. More on this in a moment.Lastly, do as I say, not as I do. In my own portfolio, my allocation to bonds and wealth preservation is tiny: maybe 2%. I am overweight gold, bitcoin and special situations (smallcaps mostly).At some stage, I will get my comeuppance as a result, and it won't be the first time. Then I'll swear to change my habits, and then I will - for a bit - and then I won't. But a more sensible investor would keep their portfolio to the above allocation.Let's examine things in a bit more detail1. Gold (15%)It's done very well. Up about 80% since we started the portfolio.My firm belief is that everybody should own some gold in their portfolio. Especially now.(If you do not yet own any, my guide to investing in gold is here. If you are looking to buy gold or silver, the bullion dealer I recommend is the Pure Gold Company.There is also, of course, the soon-to-be definitive book on the subject. Here it is on Amazon, and Waterstones is currently running an offer.

Jahangir Aziz and Katie Marney discuss sluggish EM capital flows against a backdrop of trade uncertainty, risks to global growth, elevated treasury yields, and a weaker dollar. EM capital flows have been languishing and shifting in composition since about 2015. Hopes that a weaker US dollar would break EM capital flows out its malaise have not been fulfilled. We explore our finding that dollar's influence as a push factor for EM investment flows has been waning, while US Treasury yields matter more. EM also needs to offer a sufficient growth pick-up to pull in flows. We also discuss China's role as an attractor or substitute for broader EM capital flows. Greater macro stability for many EMs have also necessitated lower capital flows and enabled EM to face three big economic and funding shocks over the last 5 years.

PTSD for Police After a Hurricane. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina's devastation, many of the unsung heroes who rushed into chaos were first responders, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, putting their lives on the line to save others. One of them was Joseph Patrick Fair, a now retired Michigan, based police officer and firefighter, who served with distinction for over 25 years. His experiences during Katrina's aftermath became a turning point, one that would ultimately reveal the hidden wounds of trauma and ignite a new chapter in his life as a writer, speaker, and advocate for recovery. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. “I was addicted to adrenaline,” says Fair, reflecting on his years in public safety. “You don't even realize how it consumes you until the noise stops, and you're alone with the aftershocks.” Those aftershocks, for Fair, came in the form of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), a psychological condition that affects countless first responders who witness death, destruction, and human suffering. In the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Fair was part of the emergency rescue teams deployed after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in U.S. history. Katrina made landfall in August 2005 as a Category 3 hurricane, but its impact was far more devastating than its wind speeds would suggest. Levee failures left 80 percent of New Orleans submerged, and more than 1,300 lives were lost. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was later found responsible for the flood wall breaches. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . For Fair, it wasn't just the physical wreckage that left a mark, it was the emotional toll of witnessing widespread human tragedy. PTSD for Police After a Hurricane. "You're walking through a city that looks like a war zone. People are crying out for help. Some are already gone. You do what you're trained to do, but the images stay burned into your mind," he recalls. The trauma Fair experienced was compounded by decades of cumulative stress from his work in police, fire, and EMS. “It's not just one event. It's years of calls that never leave you. One day, your body and mind say, ‘That's enough.'” Like many in public safety, Fair developed a dependency on adrenaline as a coping mechanism, a silent, socially accepted addiction in the world of emergency response. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. But recovery, for Fair, came in a different form, through storytelling. He began writing as a way to process what he had lived through. His novel, To Die a Hero, is a police fiction book based heavily on his real-life experiences. The story dives into the emotional roller coaster of law enforcement work, following two small-town cops who balance wit and grit while facing tragedy, scandal, and the cost of duty. “Writing was therapy,” Fair shares. “It gave me a voice when I didn't know how to speak the pain out loud. I wanted to turn the hurt into something honest, something that might help others going through the same thing.” PTSD for Police After a Hurricane. Through his books, the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show's Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms, Fair connects with readers, fellow officers, and trauma survivors alike. His stories are more than entertainment, they're tools for healing. He's also the host of a television show on Public Media Network in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he explores personal stories that foster community connection and resilience. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. As a published author, Joseph Patrick Fair now offers writing coaching services, mentoring aspiring authors from all backgrounds and genres. He also writes for Heart of Hollywood Magazine, lending his voice and experience to uplift others. PTSD for Police After a Hurricane. With over a decade of experience in publishing and a heart for helping others, Fair encourages anyone grappling with PTSD or trauma to consider the power of creative expression. “If humans are the clay, your higher power is the sculpture,” he says. “Life requires change. And change, though painful, can be the path to healing.” You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. Joseph's journey has touched thousands through his appearance on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast available on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, blog articles, and public speaking.

Contributors: Col. (Dr.) Stacy Shackelford Dr. Sean Keenan Paramedic Alan Moreland Dr. Chris Tems Kara Napolitano From military-inspired trauma protocols to behavioral health alternatives and cardiac resuscitation, EMS is evolving fast. Our Medical Minutes from EMSAC highlight the growing need for prehospital providers to think critically, act quickly, and adapt to new approaches in trauma, crisis response, and patient advocacy. Educational Pearls: What was covered & recorded at EMSAC 2024 by EMM? Col. (Dr.) Stacy Shackelford, U.S. Air Force trauma surgeon and Director of the Joint Trauma System, emphasized the critical importance of early hemorrhage control and timely transfusions in prehospital trauma care. She highlighted military studies showing that interventions within 30 minutes can dramatically increase survival, underscoring the value of rapid response and frontline readiness. Dr. Sean Keenan, retired Army emergency physician and EMS doctor, introduced the concept of prolonged field care—managing critically injured patients in environments where evacuation is delayed. He discussed how this model, developed in the military, is now being taught to civilian EMS providers in rural areas. Paramedic Alan Moreland from Denver's STAR Program (Support Team Assisted Response) explained how alternative response teams, pairing paramedics with clinical social workers, are reshaping how we respond to behavioral health emergencies, reducing reliance on police or ambulance transport and focusing on trauma-informed care. Dr. Chris Tems, an emergency physician working with ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), shared data on using ECMO for refractory cardiac arrest. With a survival rate of 87.5% in select emergency department cases, he highlighted ECMO's growing role in cardiac resuscitation for patients not responding to CPR. Kara Napolitano, of the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking, outlined the role EMS plays in recognizing human trafficking. She offered key indicators to look for and encouraged providers to stay alert to the signs of exploitation, emphasizing EMS's role in early intervention.

In this episode of the Inside EMS podcast, hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson are staying in the same hotel, but definitely not on the same page. The topic? Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) — is it the future of EMS, or just another flashy tool with little impact in the field? Chris opens the discussion with skepticism, calling POCUS a “ridiculous” tool that adds no value to his prehospital patient care. Kelly fires back with a defense of POCUS as a powerful, fast and non-invasive tool that can enhance clinical decision-making — if used right. It's a spirited back-and-forth loaded with clinical scenarios, sarcasm and a lot of “whatever, man.” Whether you're team “POCUS is progress” or “scan and stall,” this episode will get you thinking. Memorable quotes “Ultrasound gives you another layer of decision-making support.” “Point of care ultrasound gives me no ability to change the way I'm treating the patient.” “It never is a bad thing to know more about the patient.” Rate & review Inside EMS Enjoying the show?
