EMS will break you if you don’t have good partners — and I’ve been lucky enough to have some ride-or-dies who’ve saved my sanity shift after shift. In this episode, I share the wildest, funniest, and most unforgettable moments I’ve had with my EMS partners:

🚑 The patient who jumped out of the back of my ambulance mid-transport
😂 The time I asked for “the thing” during a pediatric call and my partner somehow knew I meant the Broslow tape
🔥 Working an 8+ hour interstate crash with semis exploding all around us
🌅 Watching more sunrises and sunsets with my partners than my family
💀 …and of course, the dark humor story of how I became the so-called “Moped Killer”

This job will make you laugh, cry, or both in the same shift. And sometimes, it’s your partner in the jump seat that makes all the difference.

Not every shift in EMS is chaos and heartbreak — sometimes, it’s downright hilarious. In this lighter episode, I share some of the funniest, most ridiculous calls I’ve ever been on, the awkward situations you can’t make up, and why EMS crews have the best (and darkest) sense of humor.

From strange patient requests to bizarre emergencies that left the whole crew laughing, this one’s proof that you can find humor in even the most unexpected places.

🎧 Lights, Sirens & Real Sht* is your unfiltered ride-along into real EMS stories — no sugarcoating, no PR polish, just the raw reality of the job.

Some shifts leave scars.

In this episode, I walk through one of the worst 24-hour shifts of my career — 16 calls, nonstop chaos, and moments I still carry.

It started with a cardiac arrest. I got urinated on, vomited on, and dug a 14-week-old fetus out of a toilet. At 3:00 AM, we worked a 19-year-old kid wrapped around a tree. We all knew how that one ended.

This one broke me a little.
But I’m still here. And if you’ve been through something like it — you’re not alone.

🎧 Lights, Sirens & Real Sht* is where we say the things nobody wants to admit about EMS.
This is one of those things.
