Medic Materials Podcast
Summary: An EMS Podcast Unlike All Others! Hosted by Mike Turek (AEMT-P, CIC), Emily Yates (RN, EMT), Gerard Cuomo (AEMT-P),Phil Saunders (AEMT-P) & Butch Smith (AEMT-P). Each month our goal is to offer educational opportunities to EMT’s & Paramedics in a no frills, no holds barred format fusing education with entertainment. You'll get in the heads of four current EMS providers in the most relaxed fashion we can. EMS is a stressful business and many discussions happen between providers in the Ambulance or in the station. This podcast reflects those internal conversations. We review actual EMS calls as well as have open discussions on some of the most interesting topics in the EMS world.

Podcasts:
Is an armed EMS provider on the horizon? Hear our arguments for and against the idea that EMS providers should carry a firearm for their own protection.
We stump the show with this patient presentation. But worse then that is the fact that the EMTs involved are fully baptized in the city EMS culture of, you call... we haul... and nothing else....
Ever think that your patient is too wild for the back of your ambulance? Why not kick them out! That is exactly what happens to this patient. We discuss the aftermath & ways to protect EMS providers going forward.
When you don't have the training & don't know what else to do, you scramble & accomplish nothing. These providers are caught unprepared & overwhelmed. A normal life is turned on it's head in this episode of the Medic Materials Podcast.
The symptoms are straightforward & the outcome is predictable, however the gut wrenching actions of this paramedic make it a worthy review.
Celebrating our 75th episode meet a crew that can not be bothered by their patient, the medical emergency in front of them or the EMT student they're with.
We take a look at a wild news article involving a crew who decided their chicken sandwiches were more important than the chest pain patient they were responding to.
Speed, booze, trauma, standing takedowns and a passive medic, what could possibly go wrong? This crew faces something none of them have ever seen before, but recognizing it may just be their hardest task.
What do you do when you have a person with a syncopal episode & you really want to know what caused it? Well just do what apparently we told you to do months ago! That is what this crew did! What a humbling place to be that this crazy show can make that sort of impact!
It's a Debbie Downer kind of show today. Not like our typical shows, but we are forced to say goodbye to a friend, plus a discussion never before had on the podcast!
A call that should be saved for Patreon is where we go today. The Maha brings us a call that steers us in one direction while leading us on a wild goose chase with the vital signs. Nothing makes sense about this call except we know it can't be a UTI.
A critical patient, a tree, & an alphabet problem all faze the providers on today's call. The root cause of the issue is starring them in the face but it seems the crew never quite lands on the right answer. Assessments are found to be everything with this patient.
A BLS crew is on point today in one of the most straight forward calls we have reviewed on this show. These EMTs recognize the issue at hand and handle it with aggressive administrations of multiple medications.
Ever heard of Polypharmacy? How about PolyDOC? This episode is dedicated to the Geriatric patient population. Discussion on communicating with these elderly individuals, medication errors, and more importantly how important information gathering and assessments truly are when dealing with the Geriatric Population.
A deep dive into multiple special challenge patients. We discuss the role of EMS when dealing with obese patients, MR patients, LVAD patients and more.
