Rumors are swirling around the internet that, thanks to a recent ratings boost, the love-it-or-hate-it Trauma may be resuscitated by NBC after all.
NBC had planned to run the original 13 episodes that it had ordered, but now rumor has it that more episodes are forthcoming. Some believe that the ever-perplexing Nielsen ratings are responsible, but others believe that a groundswelling of fan support has tipped the scales in the show’s favor. Apparently there’s a #savetrauma campaign on Twitter, and fan fiction has sprung up surrounding the characters, always a sign of true fan loyalty.
EMS personnel are an invaluable part of a crime scene, and their unique observations can greatly impact the course of investigation, according to Beonicia Loveless, Medical Examiner Investigator and Child Abuse Investigator for the State of Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Ms. Loveless gave a presentation called “Crime Scene Etiquette for EMS” that went beyond the usual basics of not disturbing the scene or cutting through bullet holes.
With the advent of portable ultrasound and other cutting edge innovations, emergency response vehicles are becoming more and more like rolling ERs every day. And starting in the spring of 2010, the Virginia Beach EMS department will be adding yet another ER treatment to their fleet.

It’s not often that positive news comes out of Iraq. So it’s refreshing to hear that medics from the 252nd Combined Arms Battalion, 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team are teaching Iraqi federal police medical skills used to treat traumatic injuries. Part of the Iraqi Security Agreement, security forces in Baghdad are learning the skills they’ll need to stand on their own when the US forces eventually leave.
My friends Ted Setla & Chris Montera are trying to put together the first EMS reality series made by EMS providers, for EMS providers. As they try to secure funding for just the pilot of the series, a huge step forward came along today. Monitor/Defibrillator maker ZOLL is signed on as a corporate sponsor.
Here’s a short video introduction from the Chronicles of EMS stars, Mark and Justin, as they show each other learning about how the EMS systems work differently in each country. Mark is here from the U.K. and is currently in San Francisco riding along with fire fighter / paramedic Justin from SFFD.
For most EMS professionals, state-of-the-art equipment and gadgetry, not to mention ambulances that are quickly becoming rolling ERs, is pretty much par for the course. But a recent story from Malawi shows that sometimes the most low-tech solutions are really all that’s needed to save lives.

Tonight’s topic: Review of the Best Products Seen At EMS Expo
A few weeks ago, I got to spend an amazing time at the EMS Expo in Atlanta with fellow podcasters and EMS product reviewers, Chris Montera of the EMS Garage podcast and Greg Friese of EPS411.com. We saw a lot of amazing products down there and had an interesting time looking around at some pretty innovative things going on in EMS product development.
