The flight team may be on the way, but your work isn’t done yet. Flight medic Sam, host of the Nine One One Nonsense podcast, shares what the ideal patient handoff looks like between hospital staff and flight crews, and why those final moments at the bedside matter more than you think. You’ll hear real-life examples of where in-hospital care teams often go wrong and how you can help create a safer, smoother transfer.

Sam also shares what it’s really like to be part of a flight crew — the challenges, team dynamics, and common misconceptions that affect patient care. No matter your role, this episode will help nurses and flight crews understand their role and how to better work together!


Topics discussed in this episode:


  • The role of ground versus flight paramedics
  • Gaps between pre-hospital care and in-hospital care
  • Common handoff mistakes (and how to avoid them)
  • Misconceptions about flight transfers and patient care
  • Why sedation matters before takeoff
  • Managing medications and supplies in-flight
  • How bedside nurses can better support flight teams
  • The importance of team dynamics in flight medicine
  • Advice for future flight medics and nurses

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
