1/3 A paper recently published on physician lead prehospital critical care teams has recently lead to some heated discussions in various spheres. Further discussion has resulted in a white paper being authored by the prehospital and retrieval medicine society of New Zealand
2/3 Some significant and potentially policy changing points were raised with limited evidence. This rebuttal from sector leaders gives clear context and an evidence driven response. Worth a read

NZL-1 Heavy USAR southern team back at training last month undertaking shoring practice. Great being a medic in the team where you’re used as a technician alongside the rest of the team

First Union members continue with withdrawl of labour for the first time in AoNZ Paramedic history. The funding system is broken and I encourage you all (AoNZ based) to consider signing this petition.
Why is a national service still a charity...

In the space of 12 hours
I’ve met a kid, 4.5 yrs after I helped deliver and resuscitate them at their birth
And shook the hand of a man that was clinically dead for 20 min the day before
This job has its moments and today was one of them.
It’s a privilege.

Back into research for my MPrac (Paramedicine)
This time looking at NOF mortality rates / morbidity for rural vs urban and whether as a sector, we should be transporting direct to orthopaedic centres.
Delays at peripheral centres are significant!

Back into #USAR training for 2024. Great to review some airway techniques with the techs and jump down a few holes. Always a challenge playing medic in the austere environment
