I’m your host, Jamie Davis the Podmedic and I’d like to welcome you to this week’s show. In this week’s EMS news items we’ll look at how the Houston Fire Department is using mobile telemedicine technology to connect non-emergency patients with physicians in the field.<br> Then in this week’s tip of the week segment from EMS Today this past February, I bring you an interview with Scott Matin who won an EMS 10 Innovator award this year for his team’s research into how hi-visibility gear impacts safety on highway responses. We’ll find out more about that later in the show after the news.<br> Contact the MedicCast<br> If you want to get back in touch with me, make sure you do so.
