Train the Best. Change EMS.
Howdy, y'all, I'm Dr Jeff Jarvis, and I'm the host of the EMS lighthouse project podcast, but I'm also the medical director for the new EMS system we're building in Fort Worth Texas. We are looking for an experienced critical care paramedic who is an effective and inspiring educator to lead the initial and continuing training and credentialing of a new team of Critical Care Paramedics who will be responding to our highest acuity calls. The salary is negotiable but starts between $65,000 and $80,000 a year for this office position. Whether y'all wear cowboy boots or Birkenstocks, Fort Worth can be a great place to live and work. So if you're ready to create a world-class EMS system and change the EMS world with us, give us a call at 817-953-3083, take care y'all.

The debate has raged. In this corner, we have our established champion succinylcholine, or, as the oldsters call it, “because we’ve always done it this way.” In that other corner, we have the brash newcomer, rocuronium, or, as the youngsters call it, “OMG… what about the hyperK!.” Wouldn’t you just like an answer? Which is better? SAMU to the (potential) rescue. Our French colleagues published a Randomized Clinical Trial comparing FPS among pre-hospital patients undergoing intubation between succinylcholine and rocuronium. What did they find? Join Dr. Jarvis for a hot-off-the-presses podcast that will give you the down-and-dirty about this trial ON THE DAY IT WAS PUBLISHED! Take THAT Second Shift!
