I’m your host, Jamie Davis the Podmedic and I’d like to welcome you to this week’s show. In this week’s special episode, I revisit a special segment on back and lifting injuries from last year’s EMS World Expo in Nashville, Tennessee. We were in the <a href="http://physio-control.com" target="_blank">Physio-Control</a> podcast studio talking with Rob Lawrence from the Richmond Ambulance Authority and his organization’s risk management and safety officer Bryan McRay to talk about how they use tools like those from Mangar to help them protect both the providers and the patients when lifting and moving them. Also joining us is EMS fitness expert Bryan Fass, the Fit Responder who trains and educates agencies nationwide about safe lifting and fitness among EMS crews. We’ll get into that special review segment in just a sec.<br> Find out more about safe lifting tools for EMS providers that are portable and easy to use at <a href="http://MangarUSA.com" target="_blank">MangarUSA.com</a>.<br> Contact the MedicCast<br> If you want to get back in touch with me, make sure you do so.
