Show Notes

In this week’s Inside EMS podcast, hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson discuss an Milwaukee ambulance that was hit by gun fire on the way to a call, and consider whether EMS providers should be equipped with vests and helmets. They also talk about alternatives to 48-hour shifts, and highlight the dangers of working long hours after a recent ambulance crash where Texas medic said he fell asleep behind the wheel. In addition, they discuss a two FDNY EMS providers accused of falsifying a patient care report for a dying man with a DNR order that his wife couldn’t find.
