The tips that were dropped there on EMS leadership, management styles, and personality conflicts are the type of thing that people pay $200 for in a seminar. Find out what makes a good EMT or paramedic manager or supervisor.

You can check it out here at the MedicCast!

In this episode we covered:

* Suggested Reading (One Minute Manager)
* Leadership Attributes
* Knowing your faults (and using them to your benefit!)
* Managing Peers
* The Secret of Praise (and Thank You Notes)

I want to thank our guests:

Kim McKenna RN BSN CEN EMT-P from St. Charles County Ambulance District in Missouri. She is an EMS educator and columnist for JEMS.com — check out her recent article here on studying for EMT students.

David Yarmesch from Tryllion Global Corp. the makers of Bloodstick. He also is a principal over at ForwardMedical.com, if you have an idea for a medical product get in touch with David and he can lend you a hand.

Jim Hoffman from EMS_Safety.com where you can find other great EMS resources and assistance.

Also, thanks to our regular panelist Kelly Fujikawa, check out her web services here.

and

thank you to the live participants in the chat room and on the phone lines. It is always great to have your participation. It’s what makes the show so much fun to host.

Next month, check back in here and get our word on the best new products out there. We went to EMS Today's show in Baltimore last month looking for innovative products, hot products, and products that caught us by surprise.

Next month’s show will be on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 at 10 PM ET

Also, in one week on Thursday, April 17, 2008 from 9 PM ET check back at MedicCastLive.com and join the best EMS study show with Stump the Podmedic! I will be available to take questions on passing NREMT skills tests, studying for the computer test for certification, and whatever else you want to run past me.

]]> Sun, 16 Mar 2008 23:36:33 -0400 poison-control-centers-and-episode-109 Jamie Davis, the Podmedic no 1:00:14 MedicCast Live: EMS Education Tips http://www.mediccast.com/blog/2008/03/13/mediccastlive-on-education/ Great episode of the MedicCastLive this week. I've updated the file on Talkshoe with the edited version (better audio). Check it out and hear for yourself at the button below.

In this episode we covered:

* textbooks and reading
* study tips
* dealing with clinical fears
* preceptor interactions
* student responsibilities

I want to thank our special guest, Kim McKenna RN BSN CEN EMT-P from St. Charles County Ambulance District in Missouri. She is an EMS educator and columnist for JEMS.com -- check out her recent article here on studying for EMT students.

Also, thanks to our regular panelists:

John Bignell of EMSLive.com

Rick Russotti of the Mitigation Journal Pocast

and thank you to the live participants in the chat room and on the phone lines. It is always great to have your participation. It's what makes the show so much fun to host.

Next month, we'll turn the tables and talk about what it takes to be a good EMS Manager. I know that the MedicCast listeners are the leaders in their EMS communities (either currently or in the future). We'll address some common management issues and look at what our profession needs to do to bring our supervisors and managers to the next level. Next month's show will be on a THURSDAY because of a conflict I have. Put it on your calendars now! APRIL 10, 2008.

-------------------------

Also, I announced the opening of the MedicCast Extra Site this week on the show. Click the link to check out the tour video I made of the new site. It offers all of the tips, meds and interviews from the past year plus Extra content only found on the MedicCast Extra site.

The next MedicCast Live will be held on Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at 10 PM ET.

------------------------

Wow! That's all I can really say about this MedicCast Live discussion. We had 31 participants in the chatroom and on the phones with an incredible discussion of new CPR protocols, changes in ambulance design, college accreditation for EMS programs, and new products on the horizon.

Special thanks to Dan White from Alliance Medical (AllMed.net) for contributing his insider's look at the equipment business and his years of service as a paramedic. Show Dan and AllMed some link love and click on his link above and visit their site.

Also thanks to the regular panelists:

Rick Russotti from the Mitigation Journal Podcast

Chris Black (who left on a full arrest and came back to join us again at the end)

Kenny Schneider, our Colorado connection

and all of the people who helped out in the chatroom.

--------------------------

In the midst of the discussion I forgot to give out the T-shirt code so if you read this and you were there last night, email me (podmedic@mac.com) your Talkshoe ID name. I'll check it against the list and I'll enter you in the drawing for this month's T-Shirt givaway.

Thanks again for a great show, last night.

----------------------------

This week, since the MedicCast crew is taking a holiday, I thought I would hook you all up with the Mitigation Journal's recent episode on a spectacular industrial rescue that occurred in Monroe County, New York recently. Rick Russotti interviews one of the senior incident commanders in a rescue that involved a collapsed commercial elevator and two patients trapped under a forklift that shifted during the incident.

It is an excellent example of good scene control, operational management of a dangerous situation, and the treatment and rescue of two seriously injured patients. Rick was generous enough to allow me to put this up on the feed for the MedicCast Listeners. You are all going to be amazed by the story behind this spectacular rescue.

If you like what you hear, make sure you check out some of the other great episodes of the Mitigation Journal Podcast and let Rick know what you think. Contact Rick here:

Newsletter Tip of the Week: Cancer patients and palpation

When a patient with cancer is encountered, the patient will likely
tell you where the mass or tumor is located. This is important
information because you need to know where it is when you do your
physical exam.

Why, you ask? Not for the reason you might think.

If you know that a patient has a tumor or mass in an area you are
likely to palpate, you will want to avoid palpating the tumor or,
if absolutely necessary, palpate very lightly. This is because
palpation can break away tumor cells into the body, blood, or
lymphatic system and facilitated spread of the cancer to other
systems.

Until next time, Scene safety, BSI!
