The summer hiatus is over and it’s time to start up the MedicCast Live segments again. It becomes so hard to schedule guests over the summer months because of vacation schedules that the MedicCast Live goes away over the summer months, but it’s back and will be featuring one of the MedicCast Listener’s favorite guests, Lisa Booze from Maryland Poison Control, along with our regular cohort of EMS podcasters and bloggers to chime in. Next month, on Tuesday, September 9th at 10PM ET, Lisa will be my guest on the MedicCast Live. September’s show will focus on poisonings, overdoses and using the resources of the poison control centers around the world to help medical personnel provider emergency care in the field. The live call-in show will be hosted by Talkshoe.com which provides you the opportunity to listen online, type in the chat room, or call in live by phone to the show. Spread the word!

I recently returned from the New Media Expo. The expo was a great opportunity to meet other podcasters and spread the word about the Science Podcasters site. Here are my impressions and a few of the people I met. My goals for Science Podcasters were to invite other science and medical podcasters to join the site and to run the Medical podcaster’s meet up. I’ll start off with the Medical Podcaster’s meet up which was held on Friday morning before the Will It Blend keynote. In attendance were:
Also in attendance at my invitation were the guys from RawVoice.com. They are working to help arrange avenues for advertising in the medical and science space. They are all podcasters themselves and run the Blubrry Podcast community. They offered some insights into promoting podcasts, gaining listeners, and attracting advertising. The group discussed how we marketed our podcasts and we all decided that we should do more cross promotion between medical and science podcasts. Dr. Dave offered to interview others on any psychological topic or to be interviewed on someone else’s show. The folks from AORN are just getting started in podcasting for their membership and welcome input and crossover promotion. Also discussed were methods of gaining and assessing audience and website statistics. The Raw Voice team has a pretty good statistics package in both a free and a premium version. Barry Kranz from Raw Voice also suggested Quantcast.com as a way to gain info on site traffic. Other statistics sources included Podtrac’s free stats program and the resources available through Libsyn.com and Wizzard Media. There were also some discussions about the gathering of survey information about listeners. Survey Monkey came up as a service that offers both free and paid services. Also, both Wizzard Media and Podtrac offer advertiser surveys for podcasters. In addition to the Medical Podcasters Meet up, I also had an opportunity to talk with many other science and medical podcasters, including Donovan Steutel from ScienceAudio.net and Robert Frederick from Science Magazine. I invited them to check out the Science Podcasters site and consider joining in the cross promotion of their podcasts and sites. In the NME exhibit hall, I found many vendors focused on helping podcasters to use online video. For those of us in the education sector, there were several options available in both software and hardware. Since I was speaking about using podcasting and new media in higher education, I was interested in ways lecturers could record their classes for later use by students. Two software options stood out for the education marketplace. On the individual podcasters or instructor level there was Profcast from Humble Daisy software. This is currently a Mac only application but a windows version is on the way. For institutional uses, there is Panopto.com. This software package may be free to educational institutions under their charter from Carnegie Mellon University where it was developed. The expo was a huge success from my viewpoint and I can’t wait for next year’s show. If you are a science or medical podcaster, you need to make plans to attend next year’s show.

Check out this article over at EMSresponder.com. While running from police officers, a Philadelphia man miscalculated while climbing over a fence and ended up getting impaled on a wrought iron fence. There is some discussion over whether the man slipped or was pulled down onto the fence by pursuing officers. For our purposes here the injury gels very well with the recent episode of the MedicCast on Mechanism of Injury. When you are presented with an unusual situation like this one, you need to dig into your knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the human body to make sure that the rescue effort doesn’t cause more damage than the injury. Here are a few of the things you need to have lined up with this rescue effort:

National EMS Memorial Bike Ride The National EMS Memorial Bike Ride has announced a search to find an official logo for the 2009 ride. The 2008 logo (the biker in the ribbon) has served us well, but, with a new year and a new ride, it only seemed right that there also be a new logo. Several artists have already shown their work and the Board of Directors decided it would be fun to allow anyone interested the opportunity to submit candidates for the 2009 logo. The contest runs from August 1, 2008 through September 1, 2008. The winning artist’s work will be prominently displayed on the 2009 jersey, website and our always popular fund-raising t-shirt. Those interested are encouraged to submit their work to contest@muddyangels.org.
This is a great way to support our fallen comrades. If you have a way with graphic design, try your hand at creating a design for this worthy cause! Jamie, the Podmedic August 10, 2008 @ 10:08 pm

A few of the best blogs out there offer some solutions. Check out the blog roll links in the left column for a few choices. There is no substitute for an authoritative and well supported journal. We’re lucky in the EMS arena in that we have access to two excellent monthly magazines that support the EMS community. Below are links to the Amazon Store where you can check out and subscribe to Jems or EMS Magazine. Emergency Medical Services Magazine Jems: Journal of Emergency Medical Services Check these out the next time you are looking for a good resource for EMS News (besides the MedicCast podcast and website, of course). (disclosure: These links are part of the Amazon affiliate store for the Nursing Show and part of what you spend does come back to help support the Nursing Show site.) July 28, 2008 @ 10:36 am
I got this video sent to me by email. I think you listeners like me more than I thought!
