Episodes
Listener Rick joins the guys and goes fishing for an reason his patient won't get out of a taxi... is it because... THE TAXI DRIVER IS LYING SPY?!?! Listen and find out!
In today's all BLS episode, a crew runs into a career first (and maybe career worst...) kinda call. Can two EMT's, neither with more than a year of experience and no ALS in sight, pull it off? Have a listen and find out on this week's episode that goes totally off-leash.
Listener Sam joins the crew in a call that stinks of old EMS 20/20 episodes... does the listener catch on and solve the case? Do the dice do him dirty? Listen and find out!
Spencer brings a case and Chris becomes somewhat skeptical that the juice is worth the squeeze as a crew struggles to get the pieces to fit. A language barrier, an explosion, and equipment that just won't work compounds a patient with a serious injury. Do they figure it out, or does their screen fill up with mayhem?

Legal questions asked and answered in today's wild episode!

In what has to be the most challenging photoshop job Chris has ever done, the guys tackle a call where a near ethereal patient gives no clues to what could be wrong. And gang, we have follow up... and wow. Just wow.
Spencer is in the hotseat! And this call is really, really wild. Quick, do you think a heard of elephants can clearly mark an LZ?
Today we hear the tale of Paramedic that has the self awareness of a monarch wearing some new fangled, conditionally visible fabric. Does this bode well for the patient and their partner? Listen and find out!
Chris is in the hotseat as Spencer gives him a call with strong ties to a past episode. Does Chris figure it out in time? Or does he KILL HIS CREW?!?!?!
Chris discovers a sound board as Spencer goes through the call... backwards? Start at the end and end at the beginning for the wild ride, complete with dramatic movie quotes.
Spencer is in the hot seat and performs quite well! He has the world's most annoying intern, but thankfully a helpful partner and PD as well. How does he do? Listen and find out!
Friend of the Show QANTU joins us for a Titanic Sized episode! Will the efforts to pace a patient be the life boat that's needed? Or will this patient be kicked off the floating door and die an icy death?
