  • Equalize your mics

    Good content but not so good audio.

    One person will be super quiet and the other one super loud. If I turn it up to hear the quiet one the loud one blasts my ears. Also the loud one has distortion.

    If you do nothing else please master your recording in order to bring them to the same level. You can use Audacity for this, it's free!

  • This appears to be clinically shallow and superficial. Please stay away from focusing on human fleshly desires and stick to medicine. At the end of the day, as clinicians it's biology,physiology and anatomy that is the focus. Not our inclinations or skin color

  • Interesting conversations, until derailed by politics

    Really enjoy the conversations and the topics but consistently the topics get derailed into political issues. That part is disappointing. Really wish they would keep it within the scope of EMS. I’ve listened to three episodes now that went on 5-15 min tangents on gun control without direct relevance to EMS at all.

  • EMT skills

    Great talk on expanding EMT skills for them to run calls for the service and community. I agree that they can be trained to use advance airway devices and run their own ambulance.
