Open Airways - Six Weeks

"When the Dallas Cowboys were not playing such good football, we actually ran a guy one night who was a Methodist minister who went into cardiac arrest during the football game…" With what sounds like the start of a bad joke, EMS educator Scott Walker begins the story of one of his strangest calls ever.

Open Airways is a project to capture an oral history for the benefit of the EMS community. EMS responders share some of the most meaningful cases of their careers, sometimes with humor and always with compassion. We hope that they will help us improve your practice and inspire a new generation of caregivers.

This series is produced by FISDAP with the support of EMSWorld. Listen to the latest features here and look for the series archive at openairways.net.
