MedicCast Episode 448
Good day and welcome to this week's episode of the MedicCast. I'm your host, Jamie Davis the Podmedic and I'd like to welcome you to this week's show. In this week’s EMS news items, we’ll talk about several interesting EMS articles including a look at a novel approach to teaching the public hands-only-CPR using a video kiosk at public events.

Then in this week’s special tip interview segment, I have paramedic educator Bob Sullivan back on the show to chat about his excellent article series of EMS tips at EMS1.com (http://EMS1.com). Bob writes about EMS topics and the 10 things EMS providers need to know for each topic. It includes education and some simple EMS tips you can take with you. We’ll have that and more later in the show after the news.
