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.
Greg Friese is the Editorial Director of EMS1.com among other things. He brings a very interesting view of how EMS providers should be compensated for the work they do. In January of 2022, he wrote a piece discussing the importance of EMS providers not just receiving a living wage, but rather for EMS workers to make much greater than a living wage. He recently wrote about the dismal raise that Austin EMS providers received to provide a voice to workers who felt voiceless.
