    Love the banter, love the information and the presentation of it all.

  • Educational

    Absolutely love the cases sent in. As an Aemt in a rural area, we are not as busy as bigger city areas. Hearing treatments given or missed is educational more than any textbook. I look forward to every new segment

Hot Pursuit, Hotter Patient with RAINN WILSON
Q: How familiar were you with the state of EMS and burnout before making this movie?
I had no idea, I thought I knew but I knew nothing.
Special Edition: Oops! All Trauma!
Q: What concerns arise when the patient becomes combative during transport?
The prospect of safety becomes an issue both for the team and the patient due to the risk of them inadvertently opening a door mid-flight.
Prepare for Unforeseen Consequences
Q: What are your thoughts on how the crew approached the call?
They did a thorough job of assessing but fell into assumption traps; it highlights the importance of a systematic approach.
Prepare for Unforeseen Consequences
Q: How do you feel about the choice being given to the patient?
It's rather anticlimactic; it feels like not much of a choice, more like a threat between jail or EMS.
