Nick Reed talks about a variety of topics in the news, including: Paramedics in Southern California refused to enter a post-acute-care facility to treat a man in cardiac arrest last month because of "some COVID-19 law," according to a Rialto Police Department report. Major hospital systems across the country are quietly scrapping their vaccine mandates amid worker shortages and growing confusion as to whether such requirements on the national level are even legal. A majority of Americans say they feel “worn out” by how Covid has impacted their daily lives, and nearly half feel “angry” about it.

"According to Action 5 News in Memphis, TN, Parishioners at New Salem Missionary Baptist Church watched as a brawl broke out right in the middle of service and now the police have launched an investigation. A fight between two women near the church's choir section turned into a brawl between the two families, according to a police report. When officers arrived, only three people from the brawl were left and they're all listed as both suspects and victims. The police report tells two versions of what happened Sunday. Police took photos of three church members' injuries, but the photos haven't been released. At the center of the altercation are Beverly Milam, her nemesis Terry Bell, and Bell's daughter Charra Lumpkin. Bell and Milam agree on one thing: the fight began with a verbal confrontation at Bible study last Wednesday. Milam said she told Bell to “stop sleeping with somebody” and then she said Bell got in her face. Fast forward to first Sunday at New Salem. Bell said she was walking from the choir stand during service around 1 p.m. when Milam approached her and said “Are you going to do something today?” Bell said she replied she was “not going to get involved in something at the church.” At that point, Bell's daughter, Lumpkin, got between the two women. But a Communion Day cat fight still followed. The two women at the center of the fight have different versions of how the blows began. Bell claims Milam struck her daughter. Milam claims Bell's friend “Angel” struck her in the face with an umbrella. At that point, family members jumped in. Milam said someone “grabbed her by the back of her hair” and “threw her to the ground.” When officers arrived, they had to separate the women. The police report says Bell suffered scratch marks to her neck and upper chest and her daughter had scratch marks to the neck, upper chest and left side. Milam has a slightly swollen and bloodshot right eye. Paramedics treated Milam at the church while Bell and Lumpkin refused medical attention All parties involved said this has been an ongoing problem for several years and they all want to prosecute and Memphis police say charges could follow. The church declined to comment on the matter and neither Milan and Lumpkin wanted to talk about what happened. Bell has not returned Action News 5's call. And despite rumors, no one in church leadership threw any punches on first Sunday." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

At 3am on October 2, 1999, 74 year old Texas millionaire, Steven Beard called 911. Panicked and bewildered, he said “My guts blew out of my stomach!” He didn't know what happened, just that he was literally holding his intestines with his hands. Paramedics thought maybe he had a recent surgery and stitches busted. Until one of them saw a shotgun shell on the floor. Thus began the infamous case of Celeste Beard. Gold digger? Loving mother? Was she a victim or a murderer? Who is the real Celeste Beard?Written, hosted and produced by Erica KelleyResearched by Haley Gray and Erica KelleyOriginal Graphic Art by Coley HornerOriginal Music by Rob Harrison of Gamma RadioEdited & Mixed by Next Day Podcast and Erica Kelley Sponsors: CALM.COM/southernfried BeachBound.com BetterHelp.com/southern SimpliSafe.com/southernfried Sources: https://www.southernfriedtruecrime.com/135-the-infamous-case-of-celeste-beardMerch | Donate | In the Media:https://southernfriedtruecrime.com@southfriedtruth (Twitter) @southernfriedtruecrime (Insta)Southern Fried True Crime Fans Discussion Group (Facebook Group)

Yami is a second level evocation with an instant casting time, a range of sixty feet, a duration of up to ten minutes, requires concentration to maintain, and has a material requirement of a piece of coal. Yami creates a fifteen-foot sphere of darkness that absorbs all light within.  The outside of the magical area appears as perfect black with no reflection.  The spell works by absorbing photonic energy and dissipating it as heat.  Since the sphere has such a large surface area, the heat is released efficiently.  Fire Departments in the U.S. have been using yami for the better part of a century.  By casting the spell around a fire, the sphere acts as a massive cooling fin.  Since one of the legs of the fire triangle is heat, the other two being fuel and oxygen, the fire is quickly snuffed out.  Paramedics also use the spell for treating hyperthermia by cooling an overheated patient.

Ambulance Victoria CEO Tony Walker is back behind the mic with me today to unpack what as been an incredibly big year for Tony, for the paramedics and their families and for Ambulance Victoria as an organisation. We discuss the challenges that Tony and Ambulance Victoria has stood to face with the increased workload on the people within the organisation, the sacrifices they have made and the inevitable cost to bouncing back from the tough times. We also talk about the recent issues brought into the limelight around sexual assault within AV and the work Tony has done and is continuing to do (both personal and professional) to ensure it is resolved. It's always an absolute pleasure speaking with Tony and shining a light on our amazing paramedics and frontline workers, especially in the current environment.

If you dial 999, you might expect an ambulance to come in minutes – but in reality, the pandemic has pushed an already creaking service to its limits. This is the story of one shift, and how the people charged with saving our lives are navigating a system on the brink of collapse. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is an exciting new technology being evaluated in the EMS space for use by Paramedics and EMS professionals on the road. However, does the research support the use of POCUS in the field? What types of diagnostic exams with the ultrasound have proven to be effective in making changes to patient care? And is there any evidence that patient outcomes are better when POCUS is adopted? In this episode of Back to Basics, Chris and Jason explore these questions and more as they attempt to figure out whether POCUS is hocus. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/guardianpodcast/support

Being a rock star comes with all sorts of privileges: money, fame, plenty of sex, drugs…but those things can also be very dangerous. Take the case of slash…in September 1992, Guns N' Roses was on tour with Metallica…Slash and the band were staying in San Francisco ahead of a show across the bay in Oakland…and after the gig, Slash died… Some drug dealers showed up at his hotel room at 5 am with all kinds of stuff… Slash took everything, including a powerful speedball, which is a combination of heroin and cocaine… He wandered out into the hallway where he encountered a maid…he tried to ask her where the elevator was—and wham!...he was out…she freaked out and called for help…meanwhile, Slash lay there on the floor… Paramedics arrived and gave him the old adrenalin-needle-to-the-heart trick and he was saved…when he came to, he was told that he'd been technically dead for eight minutes due to cardiac arrest…that seems like a long time, but that's his story… He was transported to the hospital but quickly signed himself out and was onstage for the next gig in L.A. two days later…about a decade later, though, he was diagnosed with heart disease and ended up with a pacemaker in 2004… Slash is far from the only person who came back from the dead—or, at the very least, came awfully close to going into the light…here are some examples of rock stars who very nearly checked out long before their time… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On June 25, 2009, American singer Michael Jackson died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication at his home on North Carolwood Drive in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Physician Conrad Murray said that he found Jackson in his room not breathing and with a weak pulse; he administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to no avail, and security called 9-1-1 at 12:21 p.m. Paramedics treated Jackson at the scene, but he was pronounced dead at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.On August 28, 2009, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner concluded that Jackson's death was a homicide. Jackson had been administered propofol and anti-anxiety benzodiazepines lorazepam and midazolam by his doctor. Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in November 2011, and was released in 2013 after serving two years of his four-year prison sentence with time off for good behavior.thefacthunter.comfacthunterradio.com

LAFD veteran Firefighter Alonzo Williams gives us a completely different angle to a story we previously heard in episode 44 (Shots Fired) when LAFD Engineer Kelly Kilmartin told us about a robbery and shooting of Light Force 50 at a structure fire during night one of the 92 LA Riots. Alonzo realized they were actually being shot at before they were robbed at gunpoint, then as they were being robbed at gunpoint their Captain actually refused to hand over their radios at first, and was nearly killed in front of the crew. Then when the decision was made to bail out of there, Alonzo was separated from his crew. A firefighter just off probation, who just escaped a machine gun attack at a structure fire, was now running for his life alone in uniform in South Central LA during the 1st night of the riots with no police in sight and no other firefighters around. Alonzo runs to the nearest fire station to find it empty and locked. He decides to run back to the scene of the shooting, with rocks and bottles being thrown at him and cars gunning their engines toward him if he tries to cross the street. He finally finds his crew hiding in a family's home nearby. This is a wild story that not only captures the insanity of firefighting during major riots, but also the racial undertones and tension of the LAFD in the early 90's as well as LA as a whole. It's also an incredible tale of survival in the craziest circumstances.  

Calming, reassuring, yet confident and directional. There are certain major life circumstances where it is critical for you to speak calmly and confidently...and I'm sure you can recall some important moments in your life, that were made more memorable by the way that someone spoke to you. Who better to demonstrate, than two service minded professionals- at the highest level. With backgrounds in the Military (based in Afghanistan), Paramedics, and fighting fires, Amerispec Home Inspection Pros Dave Dibelius and Gail Metzner have the life experience, training, and overall compassion to say exactly the right thing to nervous homeowners. With a company mantra of “Come to work happy and if you can help someone else out, you can change the world- or at least change theirs... “ check out how Gail and Dave have used kindness and FOOD to speak for them. Dave's Santa Claus in Afghanistan story is well worth hearing- and as a Philly guy- now I know that Tastycakes travel to war zones and elicit happiness. When words just don't suffice, listen to Dave share about a child tasting chocolate for the first time. When it comes to qualified speaking, here's a little background on Dave and the Company… · AmeriSpec Home Inspections. · Veteran Owned · Retired Medical Tech USAF · US Air Force/Air National Guard · 911 Dispatcher · In the Community Helping People as a Volunteer Firefighter · Oh, and Gail originally trained Dave over 20 years ago to be a Paramedic. Expertise, fighting gender inequality, elevating women in a typically male dominated field; as well as promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion through words- and especially action- will really resonate. Check out the answers to my three key questions at the end. I love how the Amerispec Team responds, and hopefully… you will too. Listen, laugh, and learn from two Top-Tier Pros… Dave Dibelius and Gail Metzner from Amerispec.

LAFD Captain Enrique Graciano is a 20 year veteran firefighter, who also has 3 years as an LAPD officer under his belt. He tells us about the scariest night of his life. In September of 2003 he was a young firefighter on Truck 88, assigned to interior truck operations in a supermarket fire with flames and heavy smoke in the rear of the building. In a matter of minutes, conditions severely deteriorate, and when the order is given to pull out, he gets separated from his company, and is unable to find his way out. With time & air running out & the smoke and heat getting worse, Enrique realizes he may not make it out alive. He tells us in detail how the whole incident unfolds. How you can follow orders and procedures perfectly and still find yourself lost and trapped in a fire. We also talk about aggression vs caution, when and how to call for help in a fire, & what happens when that call goes out. We also talk about the importance of experience and knowing your crew, as Graciano's own guys from Truck 88 found him. We also talk about life in the "squirrel cage" at LAFD Fire Station 88, the biggest in the city. What's it like to have your life flash before your eyes? Or to barely escape a fully involved supermarket fire that still had customers shopping inside when you showed up? This is the definition of a close call with death.   

It was the summer of 2004, and Charlie and Teri Brandt needed to get someplace safe. With Hurricane Ivan headed for their home in Big Pine Key, the couple went to Orlando to stay with their niece, Michelle Jones. Michelle was thrilled to have them, but toward what should have been the end of their visit, she stopped returning phone calls. So did Teri and Charlie. Finally, one of Michelle's friends went to the house to check on everyone. She was horrified by what she discovered. Then Kristin tells us about the evening of February 17, 2007. Melissa Lucio was in a panic. Her two-year-old daughter Mariah had fallen asleep, but wasn't waking up. Paramedics arrived at Lucio's apartment, and attempted to revive the little girl. But she remained unresponsive. As moments ticked by, the paramedics grew more and more concerned. The girl's body was covered in bruises. It looked like she'd been badly beaten. Melissa's other children told the EMT's that Mariah had recently fallen down the stairs, but medical personnel feared something much more sinister had occurred.  And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: The documentary, “State of Texas vs. Melissa” Wrongful Conviction podcast episode, “Melissa Lucio” “Divided Federal Appeals Court Reinstates Death Sentence for Texas Mother of Child Who May Have Died in Accidental Fall,” Death Penalty Information Center “Did Melissa Lucio, the First Hispanic Woman on Death Row in Texas, Kill Her Daughter?
