Office Hours Podcast: Geriatric Assessment Episode 5

Join Jim Hoffman and me for episode five of the EMS Office Hours podcast. I shared some of my experiences with the GEMS class (Geriatric Emergencies for EMS Professionals) and we also discussed some of our geriatric patient assessment and treatment tips with a special focus on the importance of customer service. I also told a story from my time as an urgent care paramedic that Jim thought was a bit “gruesome.”

Ted Setla, paramedic and filmmaker, joined the conversation to give a sneak preview of the Feb 12th premiere of The Chronicles of EMS. Leave your comments below and make sure you following Jim and me on Twitter and Facebook so you receive announcements about each weekly episode. Show times vary because, hey, we are a couple of busy guys.
