Crew's respond to a care facility where a medication was given incorrectly... and that's not even the worst thing that happens... Listen to this weeks episode of EMS 20/20 to find out how a bad situation can be made even worse!

Hosted by paramedics Spencer Oliver and Christopher Pfingsten, EMS 20/20 turns the ambulance bay into a classroom without walls. Each episode is built around the raw, unfiltered details of real emergency calls, dissecting the split-second decisions and complex scenarios that define pre-hospital care. The conversation moves beyond textbook protocols to examine the human factors, the unexpected complications, and the critical thinking that truly matters when the pressure is on. You’ll hear a frank analysis of what worked, what didn’t, and the practical lessons that only come from years on the road. This podcast serves as an ongoing dialogue for the EMS community, whether you’re a student building your foundation, a veteran medic refreshing your perspective, or simply someone curious about the realities of emergency medicine. The focus is always on the granular details of the job-the kind of insight that changes practice. It’s a deep dive into the art and science of field medicine, produced by Long Pause Media and FlightBridgeED. Tune in for a candid look at the challenges and nuances faced by responders every day, where every call has a story and every story has a takeaway you can use.
