The EMS World Record Attempt for the Longest Ambulance Transport (Part 2)
03/31/25 • 56 min
The record has been set—but it almost didn't happen. In this follow-up episode of The Erik and Matt Show (EMS), Dr. Erik Axene and Matt Ball break down the chaos, comedy, and close calls from their 3,200-mile ambulance journey. From mechanical failures and border stops to alligator wrangling and Chick-fil-A-fueled escape rooms, the duo recounts how this wild idea became a certified Guinness World Record.
More than a stunt, the trip doubled as a mobile classroom—capturing real-world CE content tied to trauma, sepsis, medical errors, and documentation. This is EMS education, reimagined.
