Twenty-plus deployments across the country. Coast to coast. And this month, Elizabeth Quinn was on standby to fly to Guam via Hawaii for a Category 5 typhoon response. On this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael continues her year-long Red Cross series with Deb Fleming, Executive Director of the Greater Shenandoah Valley Chapter, joined by Elizabeth Quinn — the Disaster Health Services Lead and a retired nurse who leads the volunteer nursing team responsible for the health side of every Red Cross disaster response, from home fires down the street to hurricanes across the country. Elizabeth walks through what the nursing deployment actually looks like: contact within 24 hours of a disaster to help families replace prescriptions, glasses, dentures, hearing aids, CPAPs and BiPAPs, and other health essentials the survivors probably haven't even started to think about yet. She explains the community-based model (RN-led, with physicians serving under nurse supervision — Elizabeth's favorite perk), the streamlined 8.5-hour training (down from 20), and the game-changing option most new nurse volunteers don't know exists: virtual deployments, where a nurse anywhere in the country can serve disaster survivors from their kitchen table for a scheduled shift. Plus a genuinely powerful story from a Mississippi shelter, where a nurse stayed two hours after her shift to help a gentleman who couldn't read reconnect with over $6,000 in back benefits he'd already earned. Deb closes with a national update — home fires, a hydrochloric acid train spill, flooding in Minnesota and Michigan, the Guam typhoon, blood donation shortages, and FIFA World Cup event support — and teases next month's guest: Dave, the volunteer who maintains Red Cross buildings across multiple regions (assuming she can convince him). WHO CAN VOLUNTEER AS A DISASTER HEALTH SERVICES NURSE • Registered nurses (RNs) • Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) • Physicians (serve under RN supervision in this program) • EMTs (locally within the state they are licensed) • Any licensed healthcare professional with a current, active license WHAT DISASTER HEALTH SERVICES ACTUALLY DOES • Contacts families within 24 hours of a home fire or larger disaster • Helps replace lost medications, glasses, dentures, hearing aids, CPAPs, BiPAPs, and other durable medical equipment • Provides emotional support, physical support, and health navigation during recovery • Coordinates with pharmacies, insurance companies, and case managers on disaster overrides and paperwork • Works local, national, and virtual deployments TWO WAYS TO DEPLOY IN PERSON Travel to shelters and disaster sites nationwide (typical two-week commitment). Elizabeth has completed 20+ of these across the continental U.S. Virutally serve clients from your home computer and phone, on shifts scheduled around your life. Same training requirements. Current biggest need. Same client outcomes without leaving home. Perfect for currently-working nurses, retirees who prefer to stay local, and anyone who wants to help without the travel commitment.

In this week's episode, we are discussing a film chosen for its dubious honor of having an actual 0% on Rotten Tomatoes after release (don't worry, it's up to 9% now!): the 2026 movie "Psycho Killer."

Kurt Angle dismisses the EMTs from Stephanie McMahon's room, tells her he really cares for her, and kisses her to close the show. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani break down the August 24, 2000 edition of WWF SmackDown, the final episode before SummerSlam 2000, live from the New Orleans Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana.The whole episode builds around one question: will Stephanie pick Triple H or Kurt Angle as her mixed tag partner? The McMahon family love triangle is at full boil, and the final two minutes of the show are, as Tommy puts it, maybe the most melodramatic moment in WWE history.Chris Jericho rolls out a Benoit photoshop promo that Tommy and Rob agree is well below the level of their blood feud, complete with Dr. Seuss rhymes. Benoit fires back with his own "picture." In the Tazz/Lawler saga, Tazz spray-paints Lawler's rental car, smashes the window, and finds J.R. in the passenger seat.Other major discussion points include:- Rikishi moons Right to Censor, wins his match against the Goodfather, and teases Stevie Richards with the stink face before Bull Buchanan pulls him out at the last second to save the heat for SummerSlam- The six-person tag (Trish/Val/Test vs Chyna, Eddie Guerrero, and Steve Blackman) ends when Val's nunchuck attack on Blackman backfires and takes out Test instead- Kurt Angle pitches himself as Stephanie's partner backstage, promising the match won't last more than three minutes. Triple H then storms out when Stephanie suggests Angle made good points about the hothead thing, proving the critique in real time- Road Dogg and X-Pac lose a handicap match to Undertaker in what Tommy and Rob call the least heated angle heading into SummerSlam- A full breakdown of the SummerSlam 2000 card- The WWF's SmackDown Your Vote campaign, a partnership with MTV's Rock the Vote driven by the looming threat of censorship from the Parent Television Council---Just announced!

When we think of "first responders," our minds naturally go first to firefighters, police officers, and EMTs and the valuable work they do for people in emergencies. What we tend to overlook, however, is that animals are often involved in emergency situations as well- who cares for them? Enter Dr. Leigh Mack himself a firefighter and EMT as well as the founder of the First Responders' Veterinary Network. FRVN was established to address critical gaps in managing animal-centric emergencies. Drawing from his tenure at the South Carolina State Guard and two fire departments, Dr. Mack developed an scalable operational model for the field. The concept emerged from frontline encounters where animals hindered life-saving care, revealing a vital need for a network of volunteer veterinarians to treat injured animals and to help maintain scene safety. Dr. Mack joined the podcast today to talk about his work, and how you can get involved.   For show notes and more, please go to Your Family Dog. 

For fans of the 1970's TV Series Emergency, Tonya Mantooth will conduct the first ever interview of Randy Mantooth and Kevin Tighe together.  You will hear never before told stories about the start of their careers and their experiences on the show “Emergency.”   Into the Unknown podcast is brought to you by FirstNet, built with AT&T. FirstNet® is the only network built with and for first responders – including paramedics and EMTs

You don't need Johns Hopkins to become a nurse. You don't even need four years. On this Laurel Ridge Community College edition of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael is back on the Zooms with Director of Marketing Guy Curtis, joined by Dr. Scott Vanderkooi, Dean of Health Professions, and Dr. Amanda Hodges, Interim Director of Nursing — to talk about how someone in this region can become a working RN in two years, often for far less money than they assume, and with a 100% job placement rate to show for it. The bigger news in this conversation is the launch of a brand-new weekend-and-online cohort starting in spring 2027, designed specifically for people who can't quit their jobs to go back to school. Online lectures, weekend labs, weekend clinicals — built around the reality that most adult learners are already working. Amanda walks through what the program looks like, who it's right for, and how CNAs, LPNs, EMTs, paramedics, and even total beginners can step in. Plus: how G3 state funding can cover the last dollar of tuition for eligible Virginia residents, and the upcoming online information sessions where you can learn more. ABOUT THE NEW WEEKEND RN COHORT Launching spring 2027, Laurel Ridge's new RN nursing cohort is built for adult learners who can't step away from full-time work. Lectures and coursework are delivered online. Labs, simulations, and clinical hours run on weekends. The program leads to an RN license — the same credential as the traditional weekday program — and qualifies for G3 last-dollar tuition funding for eligible Virginia residents. WHO IT'S FOR • Adults currently working who want to change careers • CNAs, LPNs, EMTs, paramedics, and surgical techs looking to advance to RN • People with no prior healthcare experience who want to enter the field • Anyone who needs to keep their current job while going to nursing school INFORMATION SESSIONS • First session: Monday, June 23, 2026 — online • Additional sessions throughout July (dates listed at laurelridge.edu/nursing) • Sessions cover the new weekend cohort, the traditional RN program, the CNA program, and the Practical Nursing program — plus admission requirements, the entrance exam, and how to prepare. Parents of high school students considering nursing careers are welcome to attend. ABOUT G3 FUNDING G3 (Get Skilled, Get a Job, Give Back) is a Virginia state program that covers the "last dollar" of tuition costs for high-demand career programs at Virginia community colleges. Eligibility is based on household income — roughly $100,000 to $128,000 depending on household size — and Virginia residency. G3 stacks on top of any federal financial aid (like FAFSA) so it covers what other aid doesn't.

Fourteen months between Eric Richins' death and Kouri's arrest. During that window, she closed a real estate deal the day after finding him dead, hosted a gathering at the home where EMTs had pronounced him, Googled luxury prisons and insurance timelines, published a children's grief book, and went on television to promote it.Most analysis focuses on whether the grief was real or performed. This episode argues the answer is both — simultaneously — in different compartments of a psychology that doesn't process deception the way most people understand it. The lie isn't a mask held in place with effort. It's a migration. The person moves into the new version of events and inhabits it. And in that version, the grief is genuine.The second installment of a five-part psychological series examining every phase of Kouri Richins' decision-making. The 911 call, the Google searches, the book, the TV tour — and a brain that can produce sincere tenderness for children it orphaned.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Over the past decade, police in America have shot and killed 1,939 people who were in the middle of a mental health crisis. That's 20 percent of all police killings in that time. Those deaths helped fuel a movement. Instead of armed police, more than half of the country's largest cities now send specially trained social workers and EMTs. This new generation of first responders handle 911 calls involving mental illness, substance use disorders, or suicidal thoughts. Call to Mind: The Fifth Branch is a special program made in partnership with the “Tradeoffs” podcast. This episode takes listeners to Durham, North Carolina, to meet people who have reimaged the city's crisis-response system.For more reporting like this, subscribe and follow Call to Mind on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, TuneIn or wherever you get your podcasts.

Send us Fan MailFive years ago, I hit publish with a simple goal: make mental health easier to talk about and easier to access. Now, Resilience Development in Action is built specifically for first responder mental health, because police, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and dispatchers carry stress and trauma most people never see, then get told to just push through it.I'm sharing what's kept this podcast steady for weekly Wednesdays, including the behind-the-scenes support that makes the audio and video work, plus why I keep sponsorships limited to tools and brands I genuinely stand behind. You'll also hear why I don't want mental health care to be something you reach for only at the breaking point. I make the case for wellness visits, a practical “checkup from the neck up” that mirrors how we treat physical health and lowers the barrier to getting support early.We also dig into the work I'm doing with departments through FRTRESS, with a focus on education, familiarity, and referrals that actually fit the culture. And if you're curious about the video side, I point you to Apple Podcasts video and YouTube, plus a fun giveaway tied to what you can see on camera.If you've ever thought “I'm fine” while carrying too much, hit play. Then subscribe, share the show with someone on your shift, and leave a review so more first responders can find trusted mental health resources.The Behind the Badge and Beyond Website is:  https://www.behindthebadgeandbeyond.com/My website is: www.steve-bisson.comVideo version of the podcast is available at: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/resilience-development-in-action-first-responder-mental/id1569606639Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!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 EMS One-Stop, Rob Lawrence sits down with Dr. Maria Koeppel to explore a topic that has long existed in the shadows of EMS culture — alcohol use among providers. | MORE: First responders and alcohol – how much is too much? Drawing on NIH and FEMA supported research, Koeppel outlines how EMS clinicians may be engaging in higher-risk drinking behaviors than the general population, with patterns influenced by stress, exposure and workplace culture. What emerges is not a story of individual weakness, but one of systemic pressure — where both major traumatic incidents and the accumulation of low-acuity, high-frequency calls contribute to a steady burden of stress that many providers attempt to manage off-duty. The conversation moves beyond statistics into culture, leadership and generational change. Koeppel highlights how traditional “crew bonding” through alcohol — what one participant termed “hydraulic debriefing” — may be giving way to a new, more wellness-focused approach among younger clinicians. At the same time, gaps in education, policy and peer support remain evident across EMS systems. For leaders, the message is clear: alcohol use is not a fringe issue, but a workforce health, safety and performance issue that requires thoughtful engagement, cultural awareness and proactive support structures. Key quotes from Maria Koeppel “Over 50% of firefighters surveyed had binge drank in the last 30 days — about twice the rate of the general population.” “EMS providers tend to drink a little bit more frequently than the general population — and that's tied directly to stress.” “It's not just the big trauma calls — it's the micro-stressors that add up over time.” “A third of clinicians in our sample engaged in high-risk drinking behaviors.” “Younger clinicians are at higher risk — but that risk declines with age as coping mechanisms develop.” “Paramedics are at higher risk than EMTs, likely due to increased responsibility and patient exposure.” “Some described going out after shift as ‘hydraulic debriefing' — using alcohol to process the day.” “Gen Z is driving a more sober culture — they're choosing connection without alcohol.” “Leadership isn't just policy — it's culture, awareness and how you care for your people.” “Alcohol and coping has to be part of the conversation if we care about workforce health and patient safety.” Episode timeline 01:06 – Maria's background: firefighter and researcher 02:24 – Overview of NIH/FEMA research and EMS focus 04:14 – Key findings: stress, frequency of drinking and EMS culture 05:08 – Micro-stressors vs. major trauma calls 06:54 – Risk factors: age, role, education, multiple jobs 10:11 – Culture and “hydraulic debriefing” 11:46 – Fire vs. private EMS cultural differences 14:38 – Generational shift: Gen Z and sober culture 19:24 – Alternative substances and coping trends 21:20 – Leadership roles: policy vs. culture 24:11 – Peer support gaps in EMS 26:41 – Workforce impact: sleep, stress, retention 27:14 – Education gap and need for EMS-specific training 29:11 – Conferences and future research dissemination 30:13 – Episode wrap-up Enjoying the show?

Scheana is joined by Kiki Monique & Ryan Bailey for an episode that spirals in the best way—from real-life health scares to reality TV chaos, with absolutely no shortage of tea. And trust, this one covers everything: a DoorDash delivery in the ambulance, a hair dye allergy gone wrong, and Scheana casually admitting she may have poisoned baby Summer Moon. Then it gets existential. Scheana revisits a psychic reading that somehow blamed her behavior in a past life for her ex Rob's behavior in this one, while also declaring Brock a soulmate… but maybe just a lesson, versus a life partner? Jury's still out. Coachella chaos delivers exactly what you want: Scheana's best (and worst) sets, wandering the desert with friends, a gummy kicking in at the worst possible moment, and a case of mistaken identity that had people convinced she was hanging with Tom Sandoval. Which…is how rumors get started! Also, how did Summer Moon play a role in finding Brock's lost phone at Neon Carnival? And after three years, Tom and Ariana's house is finally in escrow—so of course, they have thoughts. A lot of them. Press play if you're ready for the kind of episode that starts with an ambulance and ends with an IG block. Again.

Around 2,000 ambulance personnel — including paramedics, EMTs and specialist paramedics — are set to take strike action next month in a long-running dispute over pay and working conditions. The action, organised by SIPTU, will begin with a 24-hour stoppage on May 12th, with further escalations planned later in the month and into June. The union says its members have seen significant changes in their roles and responsibilities over the past two decades, without those changes being properly reflected in pay.

4sight Health profiled Dan Trigub, co-founder and CEO of MedArrive, in February 2023. At the time, the New York-based company deployed a network of EMTs and paramedics, dubbed “field providers,” to provide basic healthcare services to people at home."As everyone knows, healthcare is incredibly complex — and stubborn. While we proved our model worked and delivered thousands of positive outcomes, the economics of scaling in-home care remained extremely challenging. That forced us to evolve," Trigub said.

Things get intense on this episode of Inside EMS as hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson tackle an age-old industry debate: should EMTs spend time on a truck before going to paramedic school or is that “experience” overrated? Kelly kicks things off with a spicy take, arguing that poor field training and inconsistent preceptorship often do more harm than good. From his perspective, bad habits, weak mentorship and burnout culture are the norm, not the exception. But Chris isn't buying it. He counters that experience builds what classrooms can't: clinical judgment, scene management and the ability to function in chaos. For him, skipping that step means stacking advanced skills on a shaky foundation. What follows is a back-and-forth that hits on everything from “microwave medics” and outdated curricula to high-fidelity simulation and whether modern education can truly replicate the street. Both sides agree the system is flawed — but disagree on where to fix it. Enjoying the show? Email editor@ems1.com to share feedback.

The Dangers of Being a Firefighter and the Rewards. Few professions demand the level of courage, sacrifice, and resilience required of firefighters. Every call could mean walking into danger while others are running out. The risks are real, the stress is constant, and the long-term health consequences can be severe. Yet despite those dangers, many firefighters say the rewards of helping others make the job one of the most meaningful careers imaginable. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. David Dachinger, a retired Fire Lieutenant/EMT from Connecticut, understands both the dangers and the rewards of the job. With more than 21 years in emergency services, Dachinger has seen firsthand how the profession can shape a person's life and sometimes threaten it. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. Today, Dachinger shares his story as a guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast also as an author, podcast host, cancer survivor, and advocate for first responder wellness. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Responding to the Unthinkable Firefighters train for disasters, but some events leave an impact that lasts forever. Dachinger recalls responding to the World Trade Center following the September 11 attacks, working at Ground Zero for a day during the massive recovery and response effort. The Dangers of Being a Firefighter and the Rewards. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Experiences like that, he says, stay with firefighters long after the call is over. “Those moments remind you how fragile life can be,” Dachinger explains. “But they also remind you why firefighters do what they do, to help people during the worst moments of their lives.” Another call nearly turned deadly when Dachinger responded to a residential fire that suddenly flashed over, a dangerous phenomenon where intense heat causes everything in a room to ignite at once. “Flashover can be fatal if you're not careful,” he recalls. “It happens fast. One moment you're fighting the fire, and the next moment the entire room ignites.” Situations like that are a constant reminder of the physical dangers firefighters face every day. The Dangers of Being a Firefighter and the Rewards. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The Hidden Risk: Cancer in Firefighters While the flames and smoke are obvious dangers, one of the most serious threats to firefighters often appears years later. Firefighters are increasingly being diagnosed with cancer, believed to be linked to exposure to toxic chemicals, smoke, and carcinogens during fires. For Dachinger, that danger became very personal. In 2014, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 head and neck cancer, something many in the firefighting community believe may be related to occupational exposure. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “Cancer is extremely common among firefighters,” Dachinger says. “We're exposed to toxins on a regular basis. It's something many firefighters eventually face.” The diagnosis was life-changing, forcing him to confront both his health and his future. But instead of allowing the disease to define him, Dachinger used the experience to transform his mission in life. The Dangers of Being a Firefighter and the Rewards. From Firefighter to Author and Advocate After battling cancer and surviving, Dachinger became a powerful advocate for firefighter health, resilience, and mental wellness. You can follow him on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Facebook, Instagram, watch the episode of the podcast interview and case breakdowns on YouTube, or listen to in-depth discussions on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. He went on to become a two-time international bestselling author, appearing in the book “Cancer: From Tears to Triumph” and co-authoring the bestselling book “Live Calm With Cancer (...and Beyond).” He also co-authored another important book titled “Helping the Helpers.” The book serves as a guide for professionals who work with first responders, helping them understand the trauma, stress, and unique culture experienced by firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and dispatchers. “Helping the Helpers bridges the gap between clinical training and the real-life experiences of first responders,” Dachinger explains. “It helps therapists, leaders, and families understand what these men and women face every day.” The Dangers of Being a Firefighter and the Rewards. It is discussed across News platforms and shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, and Spotify, where audiences continue to get their content. A Voice for First Responders Dachinger now uses multiple platforms to continue supporting the first responder community. He hosts the podcast “Responder Resilience,” which explores the challenges and triumphs faced by firefighters, EMTs, dispatchers, and law enforcement professionals. The Podcast features conversations with experts and firsthand accounts from those working on the front lines. Listeners can find the show on the major platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube, where discussions focus on mental health, leadership, wellness, and recovery from trauma. His work has also been featured across News outlets, television interviews, social media platforms like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, helping bring attention to the health challenges faced by first responders.
