About this listen

 Created in 2016, Medic Mindset is hosted by EMS Educator, Ginger Locke. She is an Associate Professor of EMS Professions at Austin Community College in Austin, Texas. The podcast started as a resource for her paramedic students as they transitioned to the field. She interviews paramedics, EMS medical directors & EMS educators in long, intimate format. She thoughtfully asks her guests to open up about their mindset, routines, mistakes, thought-processes, and lessons hard-learned. Dr. Maia Dorsett is the Medical Director for Medic Mindset and reviews all clinical content for accuracy according to the most current evidence. While clinical topics are in the show, none of the content should be used as clinical operating guidelines for listeners’ practices. Interesting in connecting?

    This episode is an open-access recording of educational content from a Prodigy EMS course which reviews a case of an undifferentiated critical pediatric patient. Prodigy's Director of Critical Care, Shane O'Donnell interviews Dr. Matthew Harris.

    You are requested to transfer an intubated two-year-old. Thoughts go racing through your mind before the dispatcher finishes reading the information. What diseases can I expect? How do I ventilate this child? What medications should I prepare?

  • Start where you stand.

    Start where you stand.
    May 1 2025

    Dr. Faroukh Mehkri walks us through a mindset reframe for the undifferentiated crashing patient. He theorizes that the pervasive language of “stay and play” versus “load and go” has conditioned and narrowed our thinking.

    Dr. Mehkri describes the evidence-based, predictable and preventable pattern of patients going into cardiac arrest in the early phase of a call when the patient has been physically moved to the ambulance too early.

    He says there’s still a place for the “load and go” mindset but that there are also many occasions with the very sick patient where it would be more appropriate to start with a mindset of “stay and stabilize” before patient movement.

    Wherever you find your critical crashing patient, start where you stand and stabilize them there.
