Jan 6 Episode 95: Haney Mallemat and Medicine in Social Media

Ed Bauter

Cardiac Arrest, Controversy, Interview

Dr. Haney Mallemat (@criticalcarenow) joins Dan to discuss how social media can influence medicine and how recent medical events have shined a light on CPR and bleeding control.

In a matter of a few days, the world was shocked to hear that actor Jeremy Renner had been traumatically injured while on vacation in Nevada and Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin experienced a cardiac arrest on the field. These two tragic events have shown the world, albeit briefly, how important early CPR and bleeding control are to survival.

Nov 23 Episode 65: Bringing Battlefield Care to the Street with Dr. Andrew Fisher

Daniel Schwester

Trauma, FOAMed, Interview

On this episode, Dan gets to sit down virtually with Dr. Andrew Fisher, otherwise known as “Saint” Fisher, of the Saint Fisher Church of Evidence Based Medicine. He’s been an EMT, Paramedic, PA, surgical PGY-1, Army Ranger, and author of a lot of what works in trauma care, especially in prehospital environments.

This is long episode, but there’s a TON of information…everything from tourniquets, pain management, blood vs. crystalloid, “scoop and run”, and much, much more. We also talk about education, and how The Church is looking to educate while still having a laugh or two.
