Paramedic and educator David Page has long been considered a game changer but this time he’s been recognized for how he educates others and lifts up his community with his outreach. At EMS Today 2013, David was recognized for his inner city EMS education program called Freedom House which educates disadvantaged teens as EMTs, providing them with careers in EMS and many opportunities for their future.
EMS Garage host Chris Montera sat down with David and two of his students from Freedom House to chat about the program and its success in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area.

Jamie Davis, the Podmedic is the host of the MedicCast.
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. There are some pretty exciting things coming up in this week’s program as we kick off our three part finale from EMS World Expo 2012. This week has the first three product innovator picks from our podcasting team.
First off is Chris Montera’s pick, a disinfectant and cleaner made from ordinary tap water in your station. Next up is my pick, an online discount shopping service only open to military and first responders. And we’ll wrap up this first segment with Chris Cebollero’s tasty pick, self-heating MRE’s. Check all that out coming right up!
ProMed Executive Producer Anne Robinson (CaringAnne.com) joins the panel with her product innovator pick for this year’s finale episode from EMS World Expo 2012. Anne found the ELSA from RTT Mobile Interpretation. It’s a hand held device that can also be worn on a lanyard around the neck and it connect via cellular connection to a live language interpreter who speaks directly with your patient. Your questions and instructions are interpreted and the patient’s responses are interpreted back.
The limited english proficient (LEP) population and the need for urgent interpretation in diverse environments continue to increase. While the opportunities for RTT to serve are many, we are delivering world class interpretation expertise to law enforcement, healthcare, financial services and government agencies.
Check out the video for a live demonstration recorded with our panel at EMS World Expo.
For the tactical EMS professional, having what you need close at hand without cluttering up the pack with needless tools is important. In this product pick from EMS World Expo 2012 in New Orleans last month, our good friend Patrick Lickiss joins the panel to show his pick for the expo.
The Patrol XF pack from Conterra has a lot of the features you might need in a tactical EMS pack so you have just what you need when you need it in tactical emergency medical services operations.
We took our time proven Patrol III and added features for use by security and military forces. The XF sports a quick release buckle system for attaching a roll up tactical stretcher (sold separately, please see Patrol XF Roll Up Stretcher). In addition to all the outside pockets and internal organization of the P-III, the XF has the ability to attach two fold out IDM pockets (sold separately).
