Crisis and conflict dominate the headlines.  The ongoing war in Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory have brought death, destruction and displacement.  But among the major disasters and conflicts. It's important to look for the stories of the people who are helping.  As we mark over 5,000 medical evacuations from Ukraine, in this episode of Health in Europe, we'll share stories about some of the sick and injured people who have been transported away from war zones and other emergencies, and of their welcome, medical treatment, recovery and eventual repatriation.  We'll also explore the Region's Emergency Medical Teams to learn about people who, with sometimes only hours notice, drop everything to travel to emergency zones. Who are they and what motivates them?

Nach über 10 Jahren endeten 2023 die zwei Auslandseinsätze der Bundeswehr im westafrikanischen Mali. Mit EUTM und MINUSMA beteiligte sich die Bundeswehr im Rahmen von Mandaten der VN und EU. Aber welche Lehren ziehen wir aus den Einsätzen in Westafrika und welches Vermächtnis hinterlassen wir? 10 Jahre: Ein Land, zwei Einsätze Mit dem Abzug der deutschen Einsatzkräfte aus dem westafrikanischen Mali im Dezember 2023 endete dort das Auslandsengagement der Bundeswehr. Mit ihrem zehnjährigen Engagement trugen die deutschen Streitkräfte dazu bei die bedrohte Existenz des malischen Staates zu sichern und das Sicherheitsgefühl der Bevölkerung zu steigern. Mali ist ein Staat im westen Afrikas in dessen Grenzen die Bundeswehr in zwei Auslandseinsätzen ihren Beitrag zur internationalen Sicherheit leistete. Die Trainingsmission EUTM (European Union Training Mission Mali) der Europäischen Union sollte die malischen Partner dazu befähigen mit ihren eigenen Sicherheitskräften die Sicherheit für die Bevölkerung im eigenen Land zu übernehmen. Dazu wurden die malischen Streitkräfte ausgebildet und beraten. Insgesamt rund 4.100 Soldatinnen und Soldaten der Bundeswehr konnten mehr als 16.000 Angehörige der malischen Sicherheitskräfte ausbilden. Die UN-Stabilisierungsmission MINUSMA (Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali) sollte Mali stabilisieren und unter anderem ein Abkommen ehemaliger Bürgerkriegsparteien absichern. Im Gegensatz zu EUTM war der Personaleinsatz bei MINUSMA viel höher: In den Bereichen Aufklärung, Lufttransport und MedEvac waren über 20.000 deutsche Soldatinnen und Soldaten im Einsatz. Diskussion, Austausch und Expertise Verschiedene Expertinnen und Experten aus Politik, Wissenschaft und Streitkräften diskutierten am Ehrenmahl der Bundeswehr auf dem Geländes des Verteidigungsministeriums in Berlin. Auf dem Podium sprachen am 09. April 2024: Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, Vorsitzende des Verteidigungsausschusses Generalleutnant Gunter Schneider, Abteilungsleiter Militärstrategie, Einsatz und Operationen im BMVg Dr. Christian Hartmann, Militärhistoriker, ehem. Leiter Forschungsbereich Einsatz am Zentrum für Militärgeschichte und Sozialwissenschaften der Bundeswehr Hauptmann Dr. Torsten Konopka, Chief of Staff Assistant EUTM (2015) und Herausgeber des „Wegweiser zur Geschichte – Mali“ Moderation: Fregattenkapitän Christoph Jan Longen, BMVg Die Einführungsworte sprach Dr. Jasper Wieck, Abteilungsleiter Politik im BMVg. Das Dialogformat „Gespräche am Ehrenmal“ am Berliner Sitz des Bundesministeriums der Verteidigung widmet sich wiederkehrend Themen der Erinnerungskultur, dem Selbst- und Traditionsverständnis der Bundeswehr und ihrem Verhältnis zur Gesellschaft. Gäste sind Zeitzeugen, Experten oder Soldatinnen und Soldaten. Gesprochen wird im sogenannten Raum der Information am Ehrenmal der Bundeswehr. Soldatinnen und Soldaten können sich durch Einreichung von Fragen im Vorfeld auch direkt an der Diskussion beteiligen.

Thousands of people in need of critical medical care but unable to access it in Ukraine have been sent to other EU states for treatment in a mammoth operation known as Medevac. On this week's episode, supported by the European Union's Department for Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations, we look at how this is organised and the impact it has for people on the ground in Ukraine.

STAT MedEvac has been carrying blood on it's helicopters and ground units for years.  How the blood is obtained, stored and inventoried is explained by STAT's Medical Director Dr. Frank Guyette. It's a very efficient system.

This week we get into what the future of the season could be - is it Hunter vs Venus as our primary rivalry? Who is sneaky-bad at challenges? Listen and find out! This week was a little bit rushed due to our schedules but we hope everything sounds good and insightful! Any questions or comments - send an email to thewinneredit@gmail.com

-James Byler graduated from Purdue University as member of the NROTC program and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps-Stationed at Camp Pendleton (CA) as an Infantry Platoon Commander, he was in charge of training, leading, mentoring, and preparing about 40 Marines for what was to be a very difficult deployment in Afghanistan-On October 17, 2010, he was leading his platoon on a dismounted patrol of a narrow alley in Northern Helmand Province - one of the deadliest provinces in Afghanistan at the time. During this Patrol, he subsequently suffered the loss of both his legs after being hit with an Improvised Explosive Device (IED)-He remained conscious until he was anesthetized in the Medevac chopper and was medically evacuated to Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. The superior training his men received enabled them to stabilize him and save his life. As a result of the events that day,  he suffered the loss of both legs above the knee, as well as the loss of both pinky fingers-He has since gone on to find success in the civilian world, where he currently works in investment banking as a Central Risk Book Principal Trader and next month will be attending an O2X workshop sponsored by BHFHFirstNet Built with AT&T:http://www.firstnet.com/healthandwellnessBuilding Homes for Heroes:https://www.buildinghomesforheroes.org/Download the O2X Tactical Performance App:app.o2x.comLet us know what you think:Website - http://o2x.comIG - https://instagram.com/o2xhumanperformance?igshid=1kicimx55xt4f 

William Horner, EMS pilot and Regional Manager for STAT MedEvac takes time to chat witih Kristen regarding his "dream job" as an EMS Pilot.  Where does one learn to be a pilot?  How long does it take to become an EMS helicopter pilot and what attracted Bill to STAT MedEvac specifically?

Thanks to Chief Tom Bell of the Greensburg Fire Department for having a chat about carbon monoxide.  As we are in the throws of winter and our houses are closed up, this is a good time for all of us to be familiar with the assessment of carbon monoxide hazards as well as the detectors that many fire departments make available.  

Though we have delved into foreign HEMS systems in the past (See Episode 61 – Down Under Dynamics w/Dr. Cliff Reid), we have not dedicated an entire series to it. Having now rubbed shoulders with many clinicians and operators around the world, it is evident that these conversations need to take place on a regular basis. Why? Because operating in a vacuum can lead to bad decision making. Our new "Around the World" series attempts to mitigate this by interviewing prehospital and intrahospital disciplines from around the world and finding out how they do things, whether for better or for worse when compared to the United States. We begin our series with our neighbors to the south, Mexico. Daniel Peñaflor, Flight Paramedic, joins us to discuss prehospital operations in Guanajuato City. Interestingly enough, you will find out that they are not too dissimilar from us.

In this episode, we go out to Burbank, California where a Medevac aircraft is looking to come in for a landing. The tower loses radar on the aircraft, and then it is discovered that the pilot got confused and landed at nearby Whiteman airport by accident. The pilot then turns around and takes off, bound for his original destination... "Burbank". Follow Amy Tango Charlie on Twitter: https://twitter.com/atoocpodcast

"Self-loading baggage" is a derogatory term often used by pilots to describe lazy or disengaged medical crew members in the air medical industry. Whether intentional or not, this behavior sets a bad precedent for those of us that want to embrace aviation cross-training and be able to assist the pilot effectively. In this podcast episode, we are joined by pilots Miles Dunagan and Brett Reeder to discuss how pilots and clinicians alike can be a cohesive team before, during, and after the flight. We touch on complacency, Crew Resource Management (CRM), and specific skills required of an effective air crew.

Carey spoke with Christian Meyers, an Air Force veteran, the founder and CPO of Terra Arma, and the co-host of The Medevac Podcast.

Intro Song composed and produced by Cleod9.

You asked, and now we've delivered. We know the Army runs on checklists. Medevac? There's a checklist for that. Call for fire? There's a checklist for that. Breaching an enemy obstacle? There's a checklist for that. And all of these are simple enough that they can be laminated and stuck in a cargo pocket, or even boiled down to an easily memorized acronym. But the physical training we do every day? Oddly, this is where you're expected to read hundreds of pages of science, guiding principles, and exercises complete with drill and ceremony. How do you simplify that into something actionable? Apparently that's up to you to figure out. When we floated the idea of a simple form (checklist included) for planning physical training, people seemed very interested. So now you can download it for free on our website! We even included an example filled out version. Listen to this episode for a discussion of how to use it. You can certainly go deeper on all of these topics, but we've tried to create something simple and straightforward that will get you off to a good start. Give it a shot and let us know what you think. This will likely evolve based on feedback, and maybe one day the Army will even put it to use officially. And if you're in another service or organization that wants something like this, we'd be happy to collaborate on that too!

In this episode of The Real ResQ, host Jason Quinn is joined by Will Johnson, a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Pilot. Johnson grew up in Central Valley California. At 12 years old, he started hanging around the fire department next to his school.  This is where his passion for Search and Rescue (SAR) began to develop.   Wanting to be a pilot, Johnson applied to the USCG Academy but was denied, twice.  He applied to Officer Candidate School (OCS) and was picked up. Still dreaming of being a pilot, he applied and was denied for flight school. However, Johnson wanted to fly and he wasn't going to take “NO” for an answer. The first SAR case that Johnson remembers as a Pilot In Command (PIC) is going out for a standard search.  It was a great learning experience as a PIC, making sure he delegated the right job to the right person in the crew. The next few rescues that stand out to Johnson were amazing.  He tells us about a time when three people were in the water and he only had enough fuel to be on scene for five minutes! Then we talk about a rescue of an F15 fighter pilot who had to eject out of his plane when it malfunctioned.  Our next rescue story earned him a Letter of Commendation while he was stationed in North Bend (Coos Bay), Oregon.  Another rescue “attempt” while he was in North Bend was for an injured firefighter in the mountains.  The last rescue Johnson tells us about was a MEDEVAC to a remote island in Alaska.

As a U.S. Army Apache helicopter pilot, Adam Marr deployed to Iraq where he flew more than 400 combat hours and was awarded the combat action badge. In 2017, Marr co-authored the best-selling book, "Tales from the Blast Factory” where he shared the challenges his brother, a Green Beret, faced transitioning out of the Army because of his TBI and PTSD injuries sustained in combat. This book was the inspiration for the Academy Award-qualified documentary film Quiet Explosions: Healing the Brain (2020). In this episode, Marr discusses the challenges his brother faced, his own struggles, and his current work as Director of Operations for the Veteran Mental Health Leadership Coalition, a group of more than 45 organizations that advocates for increased research and safe, affordable access to psychedelic medicine and assisted therapies for Veterans and their family members. Special Guest: Adam Marr.

And that's what the military drives to. The military instills that resilience in you and that ability to push forward." - David Reid15:30 - "Every major medical advancement of the last hundred years has been explicitly due to war.
