Fentanyl the Good and the Bad
Emergency Medical 101
02/08/23 • 19 min
Hey everyone! Welcome back to another awesome episode.
Were talking about Fentanyl today, is it good? Is it bad? Honestly it really just depends on your perception and knowledge on the subject. Fentanyl has been a progressively more taboo subject for the past 2 decades but has amazing benefits as well as the ability to destroy very readily if not handled properly.
With the world falling into chaos and overdoses at an all-time high, it is more important than ever for you as the provider or in the public to understand what Fentanyl is and become an educator for those that do not know. You guys are all amazing and I hope you enjoy the show!

SUGAR, SUGAR, SUGAR!
Emergency Medical 101
04/06/23 • 28 min
Let's talk about sugar! All the things about diabetes and diabetic related conditions that arise in emergency medicine frequently that we do not do a great job of explaining or understanding fully. Some things we talk about include:
-Hypoglycemia
-Hyperglycemia
-DKA
-HHS
Why is it important to talk about more? Being one of the most common diseases (Diabetes), we have to make sure that we are up to date on information and refresh regularly. I hope everyone takes something home from this episode and learn something. Remember, sugar is great until it’s not!

PTSD In Healthcare
Emergency Medical 101
04/17/23 • 23 min
Have you suffered from PTSD? Its important in healthcare that we learn about our mental health and treat it before we become patients ourselves. We try to be the strongest person in the room and because of that, we suffer in silence. WAKE UP! Your health is the most important thing in this field because without you; our parents, our children, and our friends would not have access to the best care. Ask yourself a few questions like:
Do you know the resources in your community?
Can you recognize PTSD in yourself and coworkers?
What can I do better for myself?
How do I talk with others about my health?
Do I have a person to confide in?

A Trip Into The Mind “The Constant Battle of Treating Psyche Patients With Little Resources”
Emergency Medical 101
01/22/24 • 13 min
The one thing that we all struggle with in this field is psyche patients. When we are called to a home at 2am for someone who is suicidal or placing someone on a 72 hour hold, our first few moments are what sets the tone for all of their care from that moment on. Not only that but how we interact with them during those first few moments will make them more or less willing to accept the care they need. What do you think is the best approach to these patients? What would be your advise to the new paramedics and nurses during their first few interactions with this kind of patient?

Magnesium is one of the most crucial minerals in our body. It regulates muscle contractions, stimulation of nerves in the central nervous system, and has been shown to improve cardiac outcomes for patients for years. Why isn't it used more in pre-hospital and traditional care?
