    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here whether you like it or not.  On the one hand, AI evokes nefarious images of Skynet from the Terminator movies. 

    On the other hand, our conversation with United Kingdom cardiologist, self-proclaimed tech nerd, and Chief Scientific Officer with Eolas Medical reassures us that AI is not as threatening as Hollywood would have us believe.   In this upcoming episode, the But Why EMS podcast hosts interview

    While we in EMS LOVE new shiny toys or flashy treatments that were only used in the hospital, some patient treatments require us to take a step back and see our patients as more than just that traumatic accident.  Enter Trauma Informed Care, which is a way to treat our patients not only with their immediate medical needs but a way to prevent the long-lasting effects of trauma.  This requires us to take a step back and see trauma in all its forms and treat our patients by the better angels of our nature.  To understand this further, the But Why EMS team interviews:

    Happy EMS Week you prehospital studs!!!

    We’ve all heard of the law EMTALA or otherwise known as the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act.  But how does this law affect what we do in the world of EMS?  We know it’s usually hospitals who are liable…not EMS systems...right!?!?!?  Maybe not!  Little do you know, that EMS systems can be liable.  Why do you ask?  Well in this episode of the But Why EMS podcast, the team explores what EMTALA is and how it affects your everyday practice of Prehospital Medicine.  We’re joined by our special guest.

    Episode 34: What we have here is a failure to communicate...

    This episode is brought to you by General Devices.  General Devices is a health tech company specializing in communication solutions that help EMS and hospitals
    deliver simply seamless patient care.


    Don't you love having dropped calls when signing out a patient?  Isn't it fun repeating your sign-out over and over?  How about explaining your EKG findings over the phone? Welcome to communication in EMS :).  On top of everything else, communication between the prehospital and in-hospital world is complicated by technical glitches and multiple healthcare clinicians. 

     In this upcoming episode, the But Why EMS podcast hosts talk with a fellow paramedic and Regional Manager for General Devices, Kayla Jacquez, talk about prehospital communication with hospitals and what we can do about it.  Brought to you by General Devices, the creators of e-Bridge, a communication platform for prehospital and in-hospital clinicians, get ready for Episode 34 of the But Why EMS podcast to be released THIS Friday 6/30/23 at NOON.

A Welcome Passenger

I started listening to this podcast after my co-worker suggested it. I’m so happy I have this podcast for my passenger for my commute to work and Paramedic school. The only problem is no other podcast stacks up. I’ve tried listening to other podcasts and I decided to just listen to all of these again. I’m open to suggestions.

The information is presented in a way that is long enough to be very informative but short enough to prevent loss of attention. I truly enjoy the presenters and I’ve learned so much and passed on the information to my classmates and other co-workers. I look forward to the future episodes.

Awesome!

I am pretty thrilled to be the first to review this podcast.

I consume a ton of podcast content on a variety of subjects. The “But Why” EMS podcast combines evidence based practice with an exploration of the logistical challenges and “human factors” that influence the care provided to patients outside of the hospital.

I would highly recommend you give this a listen. A new favorite EMS podcast!
