Happy Turkey Day! Join host Dr. Phil Moy as we dive straight into a topic that has "stirred up more conversation than a potluck dinner at an EMS station": the prehospital management of spinal injuries. We are here to highlight the critical manuscript "Prehospital Management of Spinal Cord Injuries, an NAEMSP Comprehensive Review and Analysis of the Literature", a pivotal document within the Prehospital Trauma Compendium.
To discuss this hot topic, Dr. Moy welcomes two very special guests. First, we have Dr. John Gallagher, an emergency and EMS physician from Kona, Hawaii, and one of the authors of this comprehensive review. Second, we are thrilled to welcome Dr. Ken Milne, recognized as the podcaster from The Skeptic's Guide to Emergency Medicine. Our goal is to provide an objective discussion about the pros and cons of this manuscript so that you, our EMS clinicians and NAEMSP audience, can make your own informed decisions based on the facts.
