At EMS Expo, we had the opportunity to interview one of the engineers from Physio-Control who devises the tests that simulate real EMS field punishment. EMTs and paramedics can be a bit hard on their equipment and you need to have a rugged cardiac monitor to stand up to weather, falls, and other abuses in the field. Check out the video.

MedicCast EMS podcast host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic interviewed paramedic filmmaker Ted Setla at the EMS Expo this week. Ted is the creator of an amazing documentary, “Level Zero” about the lives of a group of Alameda County, California EMS providers.
Jamie and Ted discussed the film and how the public may view this groundbreaking project for a limited time for free during the EMS Expo and online. Check out the interview about the Level Zero EMS documentary at the MedicCast site.
I shot some preliminary videos before I leave for the EMS Expo. This video is a look at what stuff – gear and goodies for the EMS Expo Live podcasting event this coming week. I hope to meet up with each and every one of you there. Make sure you come up and say hi when you come by the stage or see me in the aisles.
