  • Great show!!

    Late to the podcast but catching up. Listened to corporate greed and it should be a state of the union address! It’s 2024 and it still holds true. Enjoy the direct, no apology attitude!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scott Kier: The Lift Assist Debacle
Q: What do you think about the argument that if people get a bill for a lift assist, they're not going to want to call 911 when they actually need help?
Kier challenges the claim as unproven and says it should be supported with evidence rather than anecdote. Mike acknowledges that some people may avoid calling because of cost, while both discuss the resources involved in providing the response.
Scott Kier: The Lift Assist Debacle
Q: When does questioning your patient go from just simple questions to an assessment?
Kier says that asking how someone ended up on the floor and whether anything hurts is already an assessment. He argues that crews should investigate the circumstances, take vital signs, and document what they find.
Case Study: Neonatal Blood Administration after Delivery with Abruption
Q: How did you think to give blood, and how did you decide to give it?
The crew had recently discussed pediatric blood use with its medical director, who trusted their clinical judgment. With severe blood loss evident and StarFlight carrying blood, the teams agreed to administer warmed whole blood, estimating the infant's weight to determine a dose.
Case Study: Neonatal Blood Administration after Delivery with Abruption
Q: What made you start coding that baby?
Mason said he did not have a clear clinical rationale in the moment and followed an instinct to act; the experience changed his view of which premature patients he would resuscitate.
Friday Rapid Fire Questions
Q: Where do you see EMS headed in the next decades?
The host argues for more micro-jurisdictions and delegated practice, skepticism toward large national bodies, and a preference for local control over protocols and initiatives.
