In this episode, Alec Wilding is joined by Nikki Hewitt, a clinician who has been among the first Paramedics in the United Kingdom to deliver pre-hospital ECMO as part of London's Air Ambulance (LAA), Endovascular Cardiac Arrest Team, known as ECAT. This represents one of the most significant steps forward in resuscitation science within the pre-hospital environment, and Nikki has been at the centre of that evolution.During the conversation, Nikki guides us through the evidence base underpinning ECPR, exploring what we currently know, what remains uncertain, and how ongoing research continues to shape clinical decision-making. She also takes us inside the operational structure of the ECAT model, how the team was established, what it takes to deliver ECMO in the field, and the training, skill sets, and logistics required to make it viable outside the hospital walls.Nikki also shares her perspective on where ECPR is heading: The challenges, the opportunities, and what the future of advanced pre-hospital cardiac arrest care may look like as technology, capability, and evidence continue to advance. It is a fascinating area of practice, and Nikki brings frontline insight, experience, and clarity to a topic that is reshaping the conversation around survivability in cardiac arrest.This Podcast is sponsored by World Extreme Medicine.World Extreme Medicine provides internationally recognised education for clinicians and operators working in pre-hospital, remote, expedition, humanitarian, and high-risk environments.

Welcome to another beautifully unhinged episode of The Rizzuto Show, your favorite daily comedy show where common sense goes to die — usually in a parking lot.The crew kicks things off battling brutal St. Louis winter temps and the internet's worst cold-weather car advice (yes, people are still pouring boiling water on windshields… please stop). From socks on side mirrors to CD cases as ice scrapers, the gang relives the lawless era of frozen cars and bad decisions — including Moon's legendary rust-bucket meltdown that literally lost pieces of its door.Things escalate fast when Lern admits she keeps waking up strangers sleeping in their cars — at gas pumps, Menards parking lots, basically anywhere exhaustion meets poor timing. Is she a hero? A future Dateline episode? Or just Midwest-nice to a fault? Paramedics weigh in, the crew panics for her safety, and suddenly everyone's debating when it's okay to nap in a car without someone calling 911.From there, the show swerves hard into pop culture chaos: the unfortunate downfall of the name “Jeffrey,” why being named Jeff might be safer for your résumé, and how some names simply cannot recover from bad PR. Add in wild restaurant stories (including one that absolutely ruins Olive Garden for everyone), a debate over whether you'd eat at a restaurant that used to be a public bathroom, and a terrifyingly detailed breakdown of outdoor street urinals.And just when you think things can't get more serious — it's Super Bowl food time. Wings vs sliders. Nachos vs chili. Buffalo chicken dip vs spinach artichoke dip. Friendships are tested. Lines are drawn. Sandwich guy is absolutely roasted.It's a daily comedy show that somehow covers winter survival, human kindness, food rankings, and name shame — all before lunch. If you like funny stories, questionable judgment, and a morning show that openly argues with itself, congratulations.

Canada's healthcare system is already failing — and it's about to get worse.In this short, I explain what a potential paramedic strike in British Columbia really means for public safety, 911 response times, and patient care. Based on my lived experience as a former army medic, ex-paramedic, and first responder, I break down why paramedics in BC are not considered an essential service, why negotiations with the province broke down, and why a province-wide strike would cost lives.This isn't a political rant. It's a grounded, lived-experience perspective on Canada's healthcare crisis, paramedic burnout, first responder mental health, and how government policy failures are putting both paramedics and the public at risk.I also connect this to the fallout from British Columbia's drug decriminalization program, the rising overdose crisis, and the impossible conditions paramedics are working under on the front lines.Topics covered:• BC paramedic strike• Canada healthcare crisis• Paramedic burnout• First responder mental health• 911 response times• Public safety• Drug decriminalization in BC• Overdose crisis• Health policy failure• Veteran and paramedic perspectiveIf you're looking for honest conversations about trauma, recovery, modern culture, and the quiet parts nobody says out loud, subscribe for more from Unwritten Chapters.Unwritten Chapters with Matthew Heneghan is a raw, solo channel about life after trauma, modern culture, and the quiet parts nobody says out loud.Hosted by a veteran, former army medic, ex-paramedic, and nonfiction author, the channel explores PTSD, addiction recovery, sobriety, grief, burnout, and identity — not as inspirational slogans, but as lived reality.Alongside the recovery lens, Unwritten Chapters dissects modern culture, politics, media narratives, nostalgia, and social decay through a grounded, lived-experience perspective.There are also behind-the-scenes conversations about writing, creativity, addiction and art, discipline, publishing, and what it's actually like to build a life and career after rock bottom.This isn't a polished self-help channel. It's dark humour, blunt honesty, cultural commentary, and real mental health talk for people who are empathetic but exhausted — veterans, first responders, nurses, partners of medics, folks in or around recovery, and anyone trauma-literate and allergic to bullshit.If you're searching for PTSD stories, addiction recovery, veteran mental health, first responder burnout, cultural commentary, reaction videos with lived experience, or honest conversations about writing and creativity — you're in the right place.New videos weekly.Subscribe if you want company in the chaos, not clichés about positive vibes only.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What is your "hear me out" food combo? Very dramatic scenes as an e-bike thief gets tackled off the stolen bike in Coolangatta. Awesome form from the officer that takes him down (someone call the Titans!). On his way off the bike, the thief gets his hand twisted in the wheel and ends up losing a finger! Paramedics need to cut the bike apart to get his hand out. The team chat to the e-bike owner, Nick, about how it all went down. Amazing stuff! Crazy coincidences. To top it off, Erica from Murf Electric Bikes (Nick's beloved bike was a Murf) is listening to the show! She calls in!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lindsay Bonnar was one of the first moms we spoke with when we started doing interviews back in the day. In our part 1 with her (episode 20) we talked about the birth of her daughter Charlie, whom she originally planned to birth at home, and eventually transferred to a birthing center to have an awesome birth experience. At the time, she was pregnant with baby number two and planning another home birth. Now, our part two (and episode 85!) with Lindsay is about the birth of her son, Linken. Spoiler alert: they did it at home! Linken was born at home, surrounded by love and support. There were a few curve balls during the birth. Lindsay would later learn that some cord compression was occurring and it was causing Linken's heart rate to drop. At one point, Lindsay's midwife thought they might have to go to the hospital. Paramedics were called and as if orchestrated, Linken made his entrance just as the responders arrived at their home. Everyone was healthy, safe and did not need to be transported. With the concern of the cord compression, this meant Lindsay had to push baby out efficiently and in a short amount of time. She told us how she pushed him all the way down the birth canal in less than 10 minutes. She cannot emphasize enough how important it is for mamas to do their squats in preparation for birth! Lindsay's part 2 is really a testament to stellar care in the form of her midwife, a loving, safe environment to support her and the incredible tenacity and power that is the birthing woman.

This is a conversation about how EMS has evolved, how it should use evidence and data wisely, and why experience and curiosity still matter.Subscribe to Medic2Medic wherever you get your podcasts and share this episode with someone who appreciates wisdom earned the hard way.https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-319-dr-jeff-jarvis--69574894

One stretcher. More than 80 patients waiting. Paramedics arriving with patients while admitted patients await transfer. That was the reality for registered nurse Jayme Hack during a recent shift at Edmonton's Royal Alexandra Hospital. Along with colleague Valerie Evanishen, she offers a frontline view of the relentless pressure inside one of Alberta's busiest emergency rooms. ER physician and former politician Dr. Raj Sherman puts it bluntly: ERs are the canary in the coal mine and “the canary is dead.” He says we can, and should, do better when it comes to emergency medicine.This is an extended version of the radio broadcast.

In this episode, we explore something a little different, but deeply connected to everything we do in medicine, leadership, and human connection: the power of storytelling. Whether it's patient handover, clinician-to-clinician stories, or the messroom chat, stories fill our everyday lives. My guest today is Clare Murphy, a world-renowned storyteller who has been bringing the ancient art of story firmly into the modern world since 2006. Clare has performed across the globe, sharing stories with audiences as diverse as the All-Blacks coaches, Mission Critical Teams, scientists, schoolchildren, and even Irish President Mary Robinson. Her work also transcends entertainment. Clare teaches storytelling as a tool for connection, communication, and meaning-making, working with diverse communities that include asylum seekers, climate scientists, social entrepreneurs, firefighters, and veterans who have lost limbs.Her client list speaks volumes: NASA, the All-Blacks, the Mission Critical Team Institute, The Drive Project, Social Entrepreneurs Ireland, Routes Collective, and NHS England. Together, we'll unpack how story shapes the way we understand the world, how it can help us connect with our teams, our patients, and ourselves in the moments that matter most. You can find Clare's work here: https://claremurphy.org/Empirical research suggests that Paramedics routinely recount emergency calls during downtime to make sense of their work. This storytelling functions as a form of tactical resilience to managers, other services, patients, bystanders, and each other, and often involves strong language.

Top Stories for December 20th Publish Date: December 20th PRE-ROLL: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, December 20th and Happy Birthday to Dick Wolf I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Apartment fire displaces 19 residents in Buford Philadelphia Winn Chapter DAR Honors Veterans on National Wreaths Across America Day HOLIDAY TRAFFIC: Year-end travel expected to set new record Plus, Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia STORY 1: Apartment fire displaces 19 residents in Buford Tuesday afternoon, chaos broke out at the Plantation Ridge Apartments in Buford when a fire erupted on a second-story balcony. It was 3:44 p.m. when 911 calls started pouring in—residents scrambling to evacuate as flames climbed toward the second floor. By the time firefighters arrived, the back of the three-story building was ablaze. Crews worked fast, deploying hose lines to knock down the fire while police helped evacuate everyone inside. Six units were damaged—fire, water, the works—but thankfully, no one was hurt. The fire displaced 19 people—11 adults, eight kids. The Red Cross and apartment management are stepping in to help. Investigators traced the fire to a second-story balcony and ruled it accidental. STORY 2: Philadelphia Winn Chapter DAR Honors Veterans on National Wreaths Across America Day On Dec. 13, the Philadelphia Winn Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) held two heartfelt ceremonies to honor veterans resting at Gwinnett Memorial Park and East Shadowlawn Memorial Gardens. It was all part of Wreaths Across America, a nationwide effort to remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach future generations about the cost of freedom. Volunteers placed fresh balsam wreaths—handcrafted in Maine, red bows and all—on veterans’ graves. The ceremonies featured local JROTC cadets, SAR Color Guard, and more. Through Dec. 31, wreath sponsorships are buy-one-get-one-free for next year’s event. STORY 3: HOLIDAY TRAFFIC: Year-end travel expected to set new record More than 122 million Americans—including 3.8 million Georgians—are gearing up to hit the road, skies, or rails this holiday season, according to AAA. That’s a record-breaking number, up 2.2% from last year. “People are ready to travel,” said Debbie Haas, AAA’s VP of travel. “Roads will be packed, airports busy—plan ahead, leave early, and maybe consider travel insurance if you’re flying in winter weather.” Of the 122 million, most (89%) will drive, with 109.5 million taking road trips. In Georgia, 3.4 million will drive, while nearly 200,000 will fly. Christmas week? Busier than New Year’s. Stay safe. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 1- DTL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Fani Willis testifies to Georgia Senate committee After over a year of dodging Republican efforts to drag her before the Georgia Senate, Fani Willis finally showed up at the Capitol on Wednesday—and it was a spectacle. For three hours, the Fulton County district attorney sparred with a special committee she called a “political farce.” The committee, created by Senate Republicans, has been gunning for Willis ever since she indicted Donald Trump and 18 others over the 2020 election. The hearing? A mix of accusations and insults. Sen. Greg Dolezal, filling in as chair, grilled Willis on everything from her office’s spending to her use of a media tracking service. Willis fired back, calling some questions “ignorant”. Both sides threw punches. Dolezal pointed to Willis’ political donations and her staff’s ties to Democratic campaigns. Willis countered with social media posts showing Dolezal and others using the investigation for their own political gain. The hearing ended with no clear resolution—just more finger-pointing. STORY 5: UPDATE: 19-year-old shot by Gwinnett police after charging officers with a knife Gwinnett County police are looking into a Thursday afternoon shooting involving one of their own. It started around 1:40 p.m. when the State Mobile Crisis Team called officers to help with a mental health situation on Lockridge Drive, near Peachtree Corners. When officers arrived, they spoke with the crisis team and a 19-year-old outside the home. Clinicians decided the teen needed to go to the hospital for evaluation. But things escalated fast. “The subject went back inside, came out with a knife, and charged at the officer,” said Cpl. Angela Carter. “Despite commands to stop, the officer fired, striking the individual.” Paramedics on scene treated the teen, who was taken to the hospital and is alive, though their condition is unclear. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is now handling the case, as is standard in officer-involved shootings. Here is Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre -Interview with Shane Delancey- Break 3: THE STRAND STORY 6: UGA researchers find more evidence that mining would harm Okefenokee New research has added weight to what environmentalists have been saying for years: mining near the Okefenokee Swamp is a terrible idea. Scientists at UGA found that water in the swamp and the aquifer beneath it share the same “fingerprint,” meaning they’re connected. Pull water from the aquifer? You’re pulling it from the swamp too. For years, it was assumed a thick clay layer separated the two, but this study flips that on its head. Rainfall raises the swamp’s water level—and, a month later, the aquifer’s. Activists are calling the findings a “game changer.” STORY 7: Gwinnett Native Todd Welborn Named Mountain View Head Football Coach Mountain View has tapped Todd Welborn as its new head football coach for the 2026 season, and honestly, it feels like a homegrown story coming full circle. Welborn, a former Collins Hill offensive lineman and a 26-year coaching veteran, has spent most of his career in Gwinnett County. For the past four years, he’s been a key part of Mountain View’s program, serving as defensive coordinator and handling a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Now, he’s stepping into the top spot, replacing John Poitevint, who led the Bears to three playoff runs from 2020 to 2025. Welborn, who’s deeply rooted in the Mountain View community—his kids attend local schools, his wife teaches in the cluster, and he’s coached youth football in the area—sees potential. “We’ve got talented kids,” he said. “It’s time to fix last year’s mistakes and let the sun rise over Mountain View.” We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: VILLA RICA WONDERLAND TRAIN- GCPS Hiring Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

As the Christmas season is well underway, hospitals and paramedics are already facing a serious demand on their services.To discuss the current outlook, Ciara is joined by Chairperson of the National Ambulance Service Representative Association branch of the Psychiatric Nurses Association, Brendan Flynn.

We are honored to welcome Kevin Tighe, the actor who brought Roy DeSoto to life on the groundbreaking series Emergency! and whose career has spanned stage, screen, and service.Kevin takes us back to his beginnings at the Pasadena Playhouse, where he first stepped into the world of acting at just 10 years old.

“We had a beautiful wedding. Wish you could have been there!” That's what Shawna Magence quipped to her new husband, Steven Weiss, about three weeks ago, after a freak accident marred their joyous marriage ceremony in Florida. Magence, 55, from Toronto, had just stood under the chuppah on Nov. 16 with her husband-to-be, an American from the Five Towns area of Long Island, New York, for the traditional breaking of the glass. Suddenly, people noticed puddles of blood on the floor. It turns out, the broken wedding glass had pierced the groom's right foot, causing a deep gash. Paramedics arrived soon after. Weiss, 59, was strapped onto a gurney and wheeled out to a waiting ambulance. But he didn't depart for the hospital right away—the rabbi had the couple complete the next stage of their wedding inside the emergency vehicle. Eventually, the groom got nine stitches, while the bride returned to the reception, alone, to tend to their guests. And the wedding? It took another day to complete. Meanwhile, the couple is taking the accident in stride, considering it just one more memorable challenge they've had to overcome after the pair, both in their 50s, met in 2024 and embarked on their unexpected, late-in-life romance. On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, we hear the whole incredible wedding story with Shawna Magence—while her groom recuperates.

Your body, and mine, is special. No matter the look or the condition, the Apostle Paul tells us that our bodies are:THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRITThat is, within us dwells the Third Person of the Trinity, and our bodies should make the Spirit welcomed at all times. That means it is our duty to take care of that TEMPLE, our body, and not abuse it.Scripture also tells us that we are made in:THE IMAGE OF GODAnd, again, that means we should take very good care of the body we have been given, which is given to us in the image of God.That body of ours is endowed with the unbelievable organ called the HEART.It pumps life-giving blood throughout the body and to every organ therein. And that precious organ, like the body itself, must be fully respected, taken care of, nourished, and little or never abused. If it is, then the abuse it may fear the most can occur:THE HEART ATTACK.Such a debilitating attack, damaging or fatal, occurs when a coronary artery becomes partially or fully blocked, keeping blood from reaching the heart muscle. The symptoms of a heart attack can be obvious or subtle. A heart attack can often be mistaken for heart burn, stress, or even a virus. But, a heart attack, greater or lesser, occurs when some or all of the following symptoms occur:First, there can be intense chest pressure. That chest pressure can also producesevere, or in some cases mild, chest pain. That pain then travels to other parts of the body and can be felt in the arms, either or both. That pain can affect the lower jaw, and the neck, and may cause a headache. The pain of the heart attack can travel to the upper back, and again, can be severe or subtle.Other symptoms of THE HEART ATTACK can include shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, and vomiting. Those symptoms can be obvious.A heart attack can produce lightheadedness or a feeling of ABOUT TO FAINT. An obvious symptom of a heart attack is body weakness and a feeling of fatigue. The heart attack, when it occurs, can have any or all of these obvious or subtle symptoms. If they occur in your body, the temple of the Holy Spirit, the body made in the image of God, you should pay immediate attention and recognize the dangers. These symptoms can occur suddenly or gradually, and can occur during any type of activity from rest (even sleep) to strong physical exertion, or any kind of extreme stress.A heart attack victim, or anyone rendering care, should immediately call 911. Paramedics will come to your aid. You should rest in a comfortable position and take an aspirin, so says the medical profession, but you should not drive yourself to a hospital or emergency care: wait for paramedics. You should not eat anything. You should be ready to go, assuming you can, whenever paramedics arrive. The body can suffer permanent damage if medical help is not administered as soon as possible.STROKE. Then there is stroke. A stroke occurs when there is an interruption of blood flow to the brain. That can occur when there is major artery blockage, or it can also occur when there is bleeding in the brain.Know the symptoms of stroke:There can be difficulty walking. There can be trouble seeing in one or both eyes. There can be difficulty speaking. There can be difficulty in understanding others. There can be numbness or weakness on one side of the body, such as facial drooping. There can be headaches, mild or severe. There can be dizziness or loss of balance.If any of these symptoms and conditions exist or persist, CALL 911.Then, sit or lie down. Do not drive yourself to the hospital. Wait for paramedics. Do not eat or drink anything. Wait for real and professional medical help, and do your very best to secure that help as soon as possible.A relative of mine was in the very best of health. Medical physicals showed a body functioning well and without serious problems. Overnight, and almost without warning, that person suffered a severe stroke which left permanent damage to the brain, and consequently to the body. You never know! You need to pay attention to how the heart and the brain in the temple of the Holy Spirit is functioning, and any symptoms which affect the normal function of that very special brain.A friend of mine in their late 30s was in the very best health, a physical specimen, exercising virtually every day. Without warning, that friend suffered a major heart attack and died. There were symptoms, subtle symptoms, that meant a heart attack might occur, but of course at that young age and in that condition, they were ignored. As a result, death occurred.Know these symptoms and pay attention to them if and when any occur.Your body, made in the image of God, and the temple of the Holy Spirit, is one of a kind, the only one you will have. You are, in essence, a custodian, a guardian of this earthly life which God has given you to live in the body he gave you. Our Lord, Jesus Christ, was God/man, possessed of a heart like ours. His heart was full of love, as ours should be. His blood, His blessed heart, which pumped for 33 years, was shed for us. His brain gave us the greatest wisdom, teaching, and knowledge which are life's finest guides. He gave His body, His heart, and His brain, to us, for us, and left us with this thought:THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE THAN THAT MAN (OR WOMAN) WHO LAYS DOWN HIS (OR HER) LIFE FOR HIS (OR HER) FRIEND.His heart not only beat with blood, but with supreme love. His brain was full of nothing but Godly wisdom. He gave both for us. When the Lord enters the heart, and captures the brain, how grateful we should be for His love and His wisdom. Do your best to always protect the heart and brain the Lord Almighty has given you.

Episode 308:What happens when a paramedic turns years of street-medicine notes into reflections on humor, heartbreak, and humanity? Her book: "A Real Emergency: Stories from the Ambulance" is a must-read as Joanna's writing doesn't just capture what we do as medics, it captures who we are: compassionate, flawed, and human. In this episode, Joanna reflects on her path from feeling adrift in Oakland to finding purpose as a paramedic serving the communities of Reno, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco. Her insights shine a light on the humor, heartbreak, and compassion that define the world of EMS.https://www.spreaker.com/episode/joanna-sokol-notes-from-the-streets--68380096Medic2Medic is back, bringing authentic voices, untold stories, and the human side of Emergency Medical Services and beyond.

Today's guest, Stephanie, says that her son, Jr., had a lifelong mantra that he lived by - 'me versus me.' He even had this phrase tattooed on himself for his 18th birthday. Rather than measuring himself against anyone else, he aimed each day to outdo the person he had been yesterday.  A year ago, Jr. was a senior in high school, preparing to enlist in the Marine Corps. He was an avid athlete as a cross‑country runner, weightlifter, and participant in several team sports. That autumn, he trained for a half‑marathon, hoping to break the two‑hour barrier. The whole family was at the race, cheering Jr. on. He made his goal and finished the race in 1 hour, 57 minutes. Moments after crossing the line, however, Jr. collapsed. Stephanie rushed to his side, fearing dehydration, but quickly realized something was terribly wrong. She dialed 911. Paramedics arrived and began CPR within 72 seconds, but it felt like an eternity to Stephanie. An autopsy later showed that Jr. died of a brain bleed from a venous malformation that had likely been present since birth. The last year has been a trying one for Stephanie and her family. The past twelve months have been a cascade of missed milestones — his high school graduation, the start of Marine basic training, his 19th birthday — each one a painful reminder of Jr.'s absence. As these days come and go, the family tries to remember Jr. and his motto: 'Me versus me.' Friends have even made T-shirts and bumper stickers with the phrase. Each time Stephanie sees one of these items, she is reminded of Jr. and his amazing spirit. When Stephanie was invited to share a final thought, she spoke the words she believes Jr. would have lived by: 'Show up and do your very best. Tomorrow, show up again and do even better.' If we each embraced that simple challenge, the world would indeed be a kinder place.

A young cricketer, Ben Austin, was killed after he was struck in the neck by a cricket ball thrown at speed using a hand-held training device. Paramedics treated the 17-year-old at the scene before he was taken to Monash Medical Centre in Clayton in a critical condition - where he later died in hospital. Australian correspondent Murray Olds says this took place at an after-school practice session. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
