Had the opportunity to speak about the role of EMS in the drowning chain of survival today at the @uslifesaving educational conference. Once a lifeguard, always a lifeguard! #drowning #hypoxia #oceanrescue #lifeguard #EMS

We flew over Hurricane Milton about 90 minutes ago. Here is the view out the Dragon Endeavour window. Expect lots of images from this window as this is where I’m sleeping while we wait to undock and return to Earth.

Timelapse coming in a separate post.

(1/5) 5 lessons that I learned as a paramedic that make me a better intensivist. A 🧵🚑

#1: In paramedicine we are taught the importance of a scene survey as we arrive to the call looking for hazards, mechanisms of injury, and other environmental cues. 🔥⛽️🥛💪

When I arrive to a resus in-hospital, I perform a scene survey to generate some situational awareness: who is there? what pumps are going? what access does the patient have? are pads in the right location? is there someone in charge? are there hazards to the team (e.g. precautions).

In 1981, Dr. Michael Shannon worked tirelessly through the night to successfully rescue a premature baby boy.

30 years later, in 2011, Dr. Shannon was trapped in his burning SUV following a collision with a semi-truck.

Miraculously, he was rescued from the blazing vehicle by Chris Trokey, a paramedic with the Orange County Fire Authority.

Remarkably, it was revealed that Chris Trokey was the same premature baby Dr. Shannon had delivered three decades earlier.
