EMS 20/20

I work in healthcare as a Respiratory Therapist Extern finishing my RRT (in April!!), so not unfamiliar with the medical world. I wanted a podcast to listen to, and a Paramedic friend said EMS 20/20. Chris and Spencer not only break down real life pre-hospital calls, but they explain medical procedures, A&P, anything for anyone, medical background or not, to be able to understand. And with flare! They are always sassing each other, having me laughing so hard on my commute to/from work & school. I hope this continues, for I will continue to listen in every Wednesday!

I’ve tried out a lot of EMS podcasts and this one is the perfect fit for me. These guys dive deep into high level concepts as well as explain simple concepts so no one get’s confused and left behind. They provide a great educational resource all while keeping the content entertaining and engaging.

What on earth is happening in “hypothesis for hypotension” where one of the podcasters is saying “uh” almost every third word?! It is remarkably bad. I hope they edit the episode to remove all the “uh”s so that I can find out what happens because I had to turn it off. I’m so glad this isn’t happening in every episode.

This is hands down one of my favorite podcasts. As a newer EMT, I’ve found it super helpful for learning strategies for how to approach calls or tricky dynamics with patients, as well as reinforcing and building on top of clinical knowledge. I’ve used much of the advice on actual calls, and they come in really handy! Whether you’re an EMT, paramedic, or outside of EMS, this is a great way to learn, and I’m super glad to have found this!
