Paramedic training is over, you’re in the front seat now. Whether day 1 or day 1,000 you can’t shake the fear you’re underprepared. You were taught to systematically decide if A... do B. But what if “A” wasn’t in the book? The truth is each emergency call is too unique to teach the right response to every situation. We need to go beyond algorithmic thinking and understand deeper principles, the WHY behind the algorithm. When every decision counts you want to rely on a framework that will guide you when things don’t make sense. EMS cast is your resource to build that framework. Through discussions with experts, review of evidence-based best practices, and real-world case studies we teach you one step past what you learned in paramedic school. But all of this advanced education is connected back to the guiding principles that answer the question- “at the end of the day, what actually matters to the patient I have in front of me?” Our mission is to elevate your practice and help you improve patient outcomes in every emergency situation. You may not feel ready, you may not feel like you know enough, but by understanding the guiding principles of emergency medicine you can become an expert EMS clinician. Because what you do matters.

In this episode, we delve into the fascinating and often perilous world of mushrooms. Join us as we explore with Dr. Nik Matsler how these fungi can be a culinary delight, a source of psychedelic experiences, or a deadly hazard. We discuss the challenges of identifying mushrooms, even for experts, and why toxicologists rely on mycologists for accurate identification. We'll break down the different types of mushrooms—non-toxic edible varieties, toxic species, and psilocybin-containing "magic mushrooms." Learn the practical tips for EMS professionals on managing mushroom poisoning, including supportive care strategies and specific interventions for severe cases.
