This episode felt like some of the first episodes of Medic Mindset. 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 generally peaceful and happy in his work and life. I left the conversation with more energy than when we started and I hope he will have that effect on you as well. Go to medicmindset.com for bonus material.
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 would be the one to teach us about humor in medicine.
In this episode Ginger talks to Jon Bailey. Jon is a FF/Paramedic in Fairfax County, Virginia. He is the lead educator of Fairfax County Fire and Rescue’s EMT to Paramedic program. He has a bachelor of science in emergency medicine from the university of Pittsburgh and a master’s in EMS education and leadership from George Washington University. Ginger reached out to Jon after a friend told her about an event called the EMS World Clinical Challenge. Take a listen to this episode and see if you might be inspired to participate in the Clinical Challenge at Expo.

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 most versatile.

This episode is a response to the many requests I get from listeners looking for help on the national registry’s written exam. To bring you the most useful advice, I contacted this guest. In my opinion, he is the country’s expert in the area. He understands the logistics of the test and the part that really lights my fire is the way he addresses the psychology of the test… the mindset of success… what he calls “mojo.” It’s an honor to get to speak to him directly after referring students to his materials for years. Meet my new friend and expert National Registry Pass-ologist, Dan Limmer. medicmindset.com
In anticipation of FlightbridgeED's #FAST19 symposium, Ginger asks Eric Bauer and Michael Perlmutter one simple question: "How could you hurt a patient with a BVM?" Show notes at medicmindset.com
