Wrecks, wrecks, and more wrecks! Lots of ambulance involved MVAs in the news this week prompt me to devote an entire episode of the MedicCast News to the topic. We need to be really vigilant on the roads, people. Anything we can do to avoid an accident is better than getting injured or killed while dealing with someone else’s emergency. Check out the links to all of the stories I cover over at the MedicCast News Page at the Podcaster News Network. Jamie January 30, 2008 @ 8:29 pm
This weekend is the second anniversary of the MedicCast podcast. We will be looking back and looking forward to see where the MedicCast is headed. Along with all of the celebration on the show, we will also be giving away some great prizes to the listeners. Who do we have to thank for that? Alliance Medical (AllMed.net) that’s who.
Here’s a short list of the items that Dan White at AllMed.net sent in to give away to the listeners this weekend. Check out the links below to see items at Allmed that are similar to the ones we’re giving away: A Reflective Safety Vest in Orange Red Soft-sided Small First Aid Bag Red Multi Pocket Fanny Pack with Reflective Trim EMI Multi-Purpose Rescue Shears w/ Belt Pouch EMI CPR Barrier Shield Pouch with Airway Barrier, Latex Gloves Two Blood Pressure Cuffs (Adult) Plus a few T-Shirts and MedicCast Polycarbonate Water Bottles from the MedicCast Store (store.MedicCast.com) ——————————- How do you get in the running? You need to be on the free email newsletter list! That’s it. Just sign up before Midnight Saturday Night, February 2, 2008. We’ll be choosing the winners from the list on Sunday while recording the show. @ 7:13 pm
Read the article about it here. There was a lot of hope that the newer drug coated stents would provide a better and safer alternative to cracking the chest and performing a CABG. However, the newest study seems to indicate that the outcomes for a traditional bypass are still better than with stent placement. Does this effect us in the field? Not really, but it is important to understand that this does not replace the need to get patients with suspected MIs to the nearest catheter lab or cardiac specialty center. The areas of blockage still need to be imaged so that the number and locations of CABGs can be determined. It’s always a good idea to maintain an understanding of current cardiac treatment effects since we often see people in the field with complications from these treatments as well as those with new onset of infarctions. @ 10:26 am

I guess in an election year, the U. S. Congress has to be careful in which programs they cut. Since EMS funding is low on everybody’s spending list (except ours), that is one of the cuts that have been made. Time to get on the phone, email, letter writing list and get in touch with your representatives and senators. You can find more info on the cuts here. I report on this and other EMS news in the most recent episode of the MedicCast News at the Podcaster News Network. Jamie January 21, 2008 @ 7:57 pm
The effort, funded by a cooperative agreement among National Association of EMS Educators (NAEMSE), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), represents the next step in implementing the EMS Education Agenda for the Future: A Systems Approach.
