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 I found a great article by our friend from down under Benjamin Gilmour on surviving your EMS career as an EMT or paramedic.<br> Then in this week’s tip of the week segment, I bring you a special interview I originally did on the Nursing Show talking about the differences between seasonal flu and the RSV viruses. I decided that this is a topic for EMS providers as well since we see so many sick patients this time of year. Do you know the differences to look for between these two viruses? We’ll find out 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.
