Aaron takes us through a number of cases this week and asks "What are your clinical priorities?"

Today is a more based on opinion and experience, which always makes for a good debate. Topics include STEMI's, multi-system trauma, and sepsis.

Today the boys interview Dr Minh Le Cong.
Minh is a rural generalist with the Royal Flying Doctor's Service in Queensland, Australia, with a keen interest in all things pre-hospital.
He is also the creator and host of the PHARM podcast, and blog https://prehospitalmed.com/about/
Today we chat about the challenges of the pre-hospital environment, education, social media and what the future may hold.

This is the first installment in our series on clinical assessment.

Red flags refer to signs and symptoms found in the patients history of examination which are clinical indicators of possible underlying serious disease.

This week it is all about headaches. Aaron takes us through primary and secondary headaches, common features and of course the red flags.

We sat down with Jason and Aaron from the Pragmatic paramedic podcast and discuss the differences in education and certification between the US and Australia.

Scott is immensely proud of his service in the US Marine Corps.
We know that he misses it.
He talks about this thing that he misses, this thing that since leaving the military he has never been able to find.
So what was this thing?
It was collective purpose.
The idea that every member of the team, those to your left, to your right, the leaders, the followers, everyone was collectively focused on the mission.
The collective purpose existed because they believed that someday there would be a moment where all the training, all the focus, all the sacrifice would be the difference between failure and success.
Success in that moment, would be one of the greatest accomplishments of one’s life.
Scott send us a quote of that moment, described by a young marine during the Battle of Peleliu in 1944.
We had a chat about it all one day, and decided we would release our chat as a podcast.
