Jon Allen

In this episode, Jason and Brandon talk with emergency medicine physician and EMS medical director, Dr. Jon Allen, or, as his medics call him, "Doc Allen."  Doc Allen has a passion for all things emergency medicine and EMS, and it definitely shows in his work and day to day operations. As the medical director for multiple EMS services (Cherokee County Fire &amp; Emergency Services, Pickens County Fire Rescue), tactical law enforcement teams, and the Georgia Smoke Diver Association, Doc Allen hopes to influence EMS by engaging with the paramedics on the ground level by ways of running calls with them, training with them, and protocol development. Doc Allen truly has a vision of EMS being part of a global system of care, and the benefits that come with practicing based on evidence based medicine.  This is the first of many conversations with Dr. Allen, as he will be back with Jason and Brandon to discuss various calls, case studies, and research.  www.medicclasscitizen.com

Join Jason and Brandon as they sit down with renowned author, journalist, writer, and paramedic, Kevin Hazzard.  Hazzard's 2016 release, "A Thousand Naked Strangers: A Paramedic's Wild Ride to the Edge and Back" quickly became a cult classic among the EMS community. His September 2022 release, "American Sirens: The Incredible Story of the Black Men Who Became America's First Paramedics," is a major topic of this discussion, along with reminiscing about being a Paramedic on the streets of Atlanta, Georgia.  In this conversation, giants in the history of EMS are recognized. Specifically, Dr. Peter Safar and Dr. Nancy Caroline. Even more important, however, are their students; the first paramedics in the nation. The men of Freedom House Ambulance Service. Their story, and the story of their perseverance in the face of discrimination and adversity is the remarkable truth behind the beginning of EMS in the United States.

In this episode, we discuss treatment recommendations found in recent literature, in regards to fluid administration in septic shock. We also discuss the updates to the definition of sepsis, and the criteria for diagnosing a patient with sepsis. In this episode, we discuss SOFA, and QSOFA, as well as the elimination of SIRS and "Severe Sepsis" from the sepsis spectrum.  Join us as we dive in to the pathophysiology of septic shock, and how fluid administration is still considered a staple treatment. We discuss how third spacing occurs secondary to overzealous fluid administration, resulting in potential worsening of hypoperfused tissues and organs. In this episode, we also discuss the ProMISe, ARISE, and CENSER trials, and discuss the suggestions of early vasopressor therapy using norepinephrine has proven to be beneficial. We also briefly discuss the potential benefits of pre-hospital administration of broad spectrum antibiotics, and the Phantasy trial, and propose to revisit a similar study with more objective methods.  Please like, subscribe, follow, and share, and look for Episode 10! |www.medicclasscitizen.com| "Subscribe" to receive email updates on the status of the store, and exciting things to come.  Facebook: @medicclasscitizen Instagram: @medic_class_citizen Twitter: @medic_citizen

WTF?! (What The Fluid) Introduction

In this episode, we discuss the benefits of membership in professional organizations for licensed EMS personnel. Join us as we welcome Georgia EMS Association Chair Chad Black, as we dive in to examples of benefits that every listener across the country should be seeking out in their individual states, provinces, territories and regions through affiliation in professional organizations. Chad also shares incredibly valuable experience from his years of leadership in various EMS agencies, as he worked his way from an EMT on the ambulance, to paramedic, to Battalion Chief and regional manager (air medical) to Director of Emergency Services.   We discuss ways professional organizations provide benefits ranging from continuing education opportunities, leadership and development training, pensions and retirement, to political and legislative representation on Capitol Hill (Senate Bill 102, alongside our very own, Jason Grady).  We round out the episode by discussing Chad's involvement in working towards administering whole blood in the pre-hospital field throughout certain regions of Georgia, and the steps he and those involved had to take in order to get the pilot program approved and off the ground.  Please like, subscribe, follow, and share, and look for Episode 7! |www.medicclasscitizen.com| "Subscribe" to receive email updates on the status of the store, and exciting things to come.  Facebook: @medicclasscitizen Instagram: @medic_class_citizen Twitter: @medic_citizen
