The Overrun crew discusses recent events in the social media/FOAMed world and #GuGate. How do you keep your social media posts from becoming a career-extinction event?

Ed and Dan discuss the career opportunities that EMS providers have. Career mobility is a significant concern to those who are entering the EMS field, and is something that is often ignored when new people join our ranks. The bureau of labor statistics in the United States reports that the job outlook for EMTs and paramedics is "better than average", yet we see a 10-12% attrition in the industry.

Welcome to first episode of The Overrun!
In this episode Ed and Dan discuss the value, if there is any, of using red lights and sirens for an emergency response. This is an issue that has come up recently in EMS circles, and it is an issue that requires serious discussion. The use of lights and sirens has proven to be dangerous, and does not provide any significant improvement in clinical outcomes for patients.
