If you've been anywhere in this world the last few weeks, you know what's been going on in Ukraine. Once again, military medicine has taken front row. But what actually is military medicine about? What are some of the misconceptions? And what can we as civilians take away from our colleagues in service?

On this episode, Dan and Ed are civilians talking medicine in the military to Dr. Andrew Fisher, MAJ USA, and the namesake of the Saint Fisher Church of Evidence Based Medicine; and our good friend Peter D'Antuono, who served in combat as a medic with the 173rd Airborne Brigade. We get to shine a light on something not many civilians get to hear about...and why it's important.

Trauma, FOAMed, Interview

On this episode, Dan gets to sit down virtually with Dr. Andrew Fisher, otherwise known as “Saint” Fisher, of the Saint Fisher Church of Evidence Based Medicine. He’s been an EMT, Paramedic, PA, surgical PGY-1, Army Ranger, and author of a lot of what works in trauma care, especially in prehospital environments.

This is long episode, but there’s a TON of information…everything from tourniquets, pain management, blood vs. crystalloid, “scoop and run”, and much, much more. We also talk about education, and how The Church is looking to educate while still having a laugh or two.
