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. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/support

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

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. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/support

EMSU: What Does Oversight Look Like?

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

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.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/support

EMS Underground: Volunteering in the age of COVID.

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.

EMS Underground: Is It Safe?

It took me a while to learn how to ride with anyone for 24 hours. Nowadays 12 hours is the standard and yet we still have difficulty getting along. Personalities are what they are and I will be going through some stereotypes and situations to help you to be able to ride with just about anyone. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/support

EMSU: How to get along with your partner

EMSU: Random Distractions

I went to the protest in Covington GA today and wasn't sure what I expected to see. Sometimes in life, you go somewhere because there is an unknown opportunity waiting for you. I had one of the most honest conversations I have ever had ever. And this one was with perfect strangers which by nature does not lend itself to open and free discourse. I take a few minutes to explain the lead-up, and then you get 40 minutes or so of unedited raw conversation that I believe was important. Understand that you will hear raw feelings, misunderstandings, and disagreements but that we all had one intent - to converse as best we could and to listen as best we could. Please listen with an open mind. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/support

EMS Underground: Protests and Conversations

Today's Topic Tuesday is about scene safety. I thought with everything going on in the world maybe we should understand what scene safety really is. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/support

Topic Tuesday: Scene Safety with protests/riots

On today's underground I will be calling BS on motivation. Mainly the sayings and graphics that I am seeing when I look for EMS Motivation. I am aiming to break some bad mindsets and hopefully replace it with a healthier way to think and be. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emsunderground/support
