This is a great podcast
Public mastication and phonation is surprisingly acceptable in American culture.
I absolutely adore your podcast, humor and case breakdowns! EMS are the most badass medical professionals! I’m an ER night nurse going on 10 years and you the real superstars! I find your cases great “scenarios” for new nurses I train because you dissect it in such a way I can help newbies see prioritization and chaos. I just discovered you and cannot wait to share it with my trainees.
