    EMS Underground: Do Emt's deserve better or nothing?

    An article came across our radar recently about how Emt's deserve nothing and should be grateful for the opportunity (basically.) So we are isolating five points from the article and will be discussing it amongst Charles McFall, Douglas Spencer, and Tom Kamplain.

    EMSU: What Does Oversight Look Like?

    EMSU: What Does Oversight Look Like? Charles and Douglas have been discussing recent events and the idea of an oversight committee keeps coming up. Tom has said it many times also. So today we are playing a mind game of what a committee would look like, what it would do, and where we hope it would take EMS and Fire.

    EMS Underground: It's Not Magic

    I have seen a theme in our current world of people rushing to get through, get things done, or trying to find the easy way. So on today's EMS Underground Douglas and I will be talking about the value of actually putting the work in. From education of ourselves and others to running our calls, we see the range of easy way to put in the effort. Come tell us why the work should be done vs its fine to be quick and easy.

    EMSU: The Differences between Fire and EMS

    Today I wanted to take some crossover topics like hazmat, incident command, and even scene safety and explore the differences between how EMS and Fire operate. Douglas Spencer is joining in again.

    EMSU: Education, Ems, and Life in general

    Douglas Spencer joins me today again as we have a discussion on prepping educational presentations. That leads to a discussion of the National Registry and how it is viewed. We get onto the topic of volunteer firefighters, mandates, and other disagreements, but a late question brought everything full circle. I start talking about always practicing your IV's as you go down the road and Douglas' statement about critical thinking brings home a point that we all should be teaching.

    EMS Underground: Is It Safe?

    I received this question from a viewer/listener. "Amr giving EMT's and medics an opportunity to buy body armor. Does that mean they are going to have to go into unsafe situations? If that's the case why not arm the staff? What about staged calls, when officer's don't clear the scene? Finally, untrained new police officer's do they have enough training to make EMT's and medics feel safe doing their job? And how stations are handling this along with COVID?" I am doing my best to answer all of this today on EMS Underground.
