Medic Mindset - A Podcast For Ems Responders

Part 1: He's a SWAT medic, but he doesn't fit neatly in the tactical medic mold. Listen for yourself. medicmindset.com @gingerlockeatx

If anyone appreciates what it is like to be a medic without actually being one, it's Dr. Tania Glenn. She's a leading clinician in the identification and treatment of PTSD and specializes in caring for emergency responders. I caught up with her in her office, but her work takes her all over the country. She's one of us and we are lucky to have her on our team. Find her at: taniaglenn.com @drtaniaglenn on twitter To see the picture I took during the interview and other show notes, go to medicmindset.com and find Episode 8. Enjoy! Ginger #suckitptsd

In this episode, Ginger deviates from the usual long, meandering format as she interviews a medic about his experience performing a surgical airway. Show notes at medicmindset.com

The guest in this episode is a true "student of the game." Listen to the FOAMed (Free Open Access Medical Education) resources he uses. He is stoic, thoughtful, and a man of few words. For the listener, that means each concept he chooses to share drips with intrigue. In particular, the discussion of his second failed intubation is a must-hear. I respect him tremendously for bringing that conversation back to the focus of the patient. Show notes at medicmindset.com Love, Ginger

I say it with every episode, but this one really does feel like my favorite so far. I couldn't be happier to share this medic with you. She's happy. She's competent. She's real and she willingly lets me wander around in her brain for a bit. Show notes can be found at medicmindset.com Love, Ginger

Don't be intimidated by the length of this one. The best thing about this guest was that he didn't ask me to edit a thing. He tells us about his experience with video laryngoscopy, books recommendations, and about his life living in a cabin in the woods. His dry sense of humor made me wish it was longer than an hour.

This one was a blast. She is an open book about what life is like as a medic and the listeners are loving her. She bravely entertains Ginger's questions about the unique intimacy shared between EMS partners. She is brave and funny and speaks from an authentic heart.
