The Off Shift Podcast by EMSconnect
The Off Shift Podcast by EMSconnect is where first responders continue the conversation after the call.
Hosted by EMS educator Shaun Pitts, each episode brings together paramedics, EMTs, firefighters, physicians, educators, and industry leaders to explore the topics that shape our profession. From clinical medicine and patient care to leadership, mental health, education, career development, and the realities of life in emergency services, we cover the conversations that happen when the radios are quiet.
Whether you’re on your commute, between calls, or finally enjoying some time off, you’ll leave every episode with practical insights, fresh perspectives, and ideas you can take back to your next shift.
Because learning doesn’t stop when the call ends.
The Off Shift Podcast by EMSconnect. Real conversations. Better providers. Stronger responders.

So, in the average stroke, 1.2 billion neurons are lost causing an age acceleration of 37 years! Time is tissue, and time is NOT on our side! How fast you assess, get vitals, and generally get information, comes into play with the extent of damage to your patient's brain.
