    Get on the train

    Shownotes at medicmindset.com In reference to how he collaborates with 911-callers to put order to chaos: "It's like trying to jump on a moving train. You're not trying to stop the train or divert it, because the train has gotta go where the train's gotta go. You are just trying to get on it. And if you can get on the train... If you can get in... If you can insert yourself with them... then you can start exercising your influence on the controls."

    The Second Baby

    This episode felt like some of the first episodes of Medic Mindset. I had a few things on my mind that I wanted to ask him but we also just let the conversation ebb and flow wherever it pleased for an hour. The purpose in sitting down together was to discuss his performance in the EMS World clinical challenge but we ended up talking about all kinds of things like career longevity and advice he would give new medics. His name is Andrew Azelton and he has been in EMS for 18 years and you will hopefully hear what I heard in his voice. He was engaged and happy to talk shop and he seemed just…

    Zoom out with Humor

    Ginger talks to Dr. Ben Abo. He is a paramedic and EMS physician. He's been on the Ted stage. He's the medical director for Miami-Dade Fire Rescue's Venom response teams. He's a fellow in the Academy of Wilderness Medicine. He's saved a stranger who collapsed on train tracks. He's an international man of mystery and in this episode, we will talk about none of that. Instead, Ginger reached out to him because she wanted to make an episode about the use of humor in emergency medicine. Ever since the first day she saw a picture of him in scrubs in the ER talking on a banana phone, she knew he…

    Tania Glenn. Back Again.

    For the second time, I'm visiting with Tania Glenn. She's been on the show before with an episode that released in January of 2017 and since then I've gotten tons of questions for Tania from listeners. I wanted to ask some of those questions and to talk to her about a documentary she recently released. We discuss: How, in her documentary, she challenges leaders of EMS departments to better invest in the care of paramedics' mental health. How she works with dispatchers to process traumatic audio memories. Why she models her practice after Southwest Airlines. And which cuss word she finds the…
