PREVIEW: Promise Not To Try
2026/10/15
A preview of the LongPauseMedia.com EXCLUSIVE EPISODE: Promise Not to Try
CO Too
2026/10/14
How many times can a single crew run CO poisoning calls in one day? Has Mauly returned to exact her revenge on humanity? In a call that boils Chris' blood (like that's hard to do...), a single ambulance crew has a lot to deal with as they find themselves in an ugly predicament.
Special Edition: Fishing for Mack's AMS
2026/10/07
Listener Rick joins the guys and goes fishing for an reason his patient won't get out of a taxi... is it because... THE TAXI DRIVER IS LYING SPY?!?! Listen and find out!
Mauly and Me
2026/09/30
In today's all BLS episode, a crew runs into a career first (and maybe career worst...) kinda call. Can two EMT's, neither with more than a year of experience and no ALS in sight, pull it off? Have a listen and find out on this week's episode that goes totally off-leash.
Special Edition: YOU SHALL BE AVENGED
2026/09/23
Listener Sam joins the crew in a call that stinks of old EMS 20/20 episodes... does the listener catch on and solve the case? Do the dice do him dirty? Listen and find out!
The Pieces Don't Fit
2026/09/19
Spencer brings a case and Chris becomes somewhat skeptical that the juice is worth the squeeze as a crew struggles to get the pieces to fit. A language barrier, an explosion, and equipment that just won't work compounds a patient with a serious injury. Do they figure it out, or does their screen fill up with mayhem?
Special Edition: POCUS Ranger
2026/09/16
On this weeks Master Your Medics Special Edition, we have Danny Kustra! Known for speaking at FAST conferences and running @dnr_prehospital_education, Spencer gives him a harrowingly difficult call... does he sink or swim? HINT: swimming is easier with sonar...
Legal Lessons for a Full Kart
2026/09/02
SPECIAL GUESTS SAMANTHA JOHNSON (a real attorney!) and NICK ADAMS from the Standard of Care Podcast join the guys today as we go over an amazing episode with a diabolical twist... A well run trauma call turns into... another well run trauma call? Chris and Nick go in blind while Samantha and Spencer hang back and blue shell us moments before the finish line. Legal questions asked and answered in today's wild episode!
Unexplained Resuscitation
2026/08/19
What happens when you drag a coded patient across the carpet at break neck speed? Can you defib a cigarette? All this and more on this weeks episode as a Canadian crew handles a code down a looooooooong hallway.
Special Edition: BOLDY GOING... (...to the ER for lab values)
2026/08/12
In a first ever to EMS 20/20, we invite a listener to the show to participate in our Master Your Medics Special Edition! As a voluntary sacrificial Red Shirt, Kate joins the crew and is given a patient! And then another... or maybe just one? Wait, why are we going to the hospital?
Pregnancy Trouble is Afoot!
2026/08/05
HOOLLDD ME NOW, I'M 8cm FROM THE EDGE... Chris and Spence follow the surprise of a lifetime as a crew navigates a pregnancy call where things get... stuck.
Special Edition: Mired Chris Incident
2026/07/29
Spencer gives Chris perhaps this last MYM scenario: an MPS/MCI in which Chris must Command! How does he do? Let us know how his performance was as it may perhaps be the last time! Check out our IG for Spencer's hand drawn map!
Prime Time Medicine
2026/07/22
In what has to be the most challenging photoshop job Chris has ever done, the guys tackle a call where a near ethereal patient gives no clues to what could be wrong. And gang, we have follow up... and wow. Just wow.
Special Edition: Zoo SNAFU
2026/07/15
Spencer is in the hotseat! And this call is really, really wild. Quick, do you think a heard of elephants can clearly mark an LZ?
The Emperor Needs a New Attitude
2026/07/10
Today we hear the tale of Paramedic that has the self awareness of a monarch wearing some new fangled, conditionally visible fabric. Does this bode well for the patient and their partner? Listen and find out!
