Medic2Medic is back. After 300 episodes and a three-year pause, the podcast returns to shine a spotlight on the voices and stories that define Emergency Medical Services. Each episode takes you behind the sirens and into the lives of EMS professionals—paramedics, EMTs, educators, leaders, and innovators—who dedicate their careers to saving lives and shaping the future of prehospital care. Whether you’re in the field, connected to EMS, or simply curious about the people who answer the call, Medic2Medic brings you honest conversations, lessons learned, and the human side of emergency medicine. Because in EMS, the stories never retire.

    Episode 338: Kevin Whitsell
    Sep 27 2026
    Steve Cohen sits down with Kevin Whitsell, a 20-year paramedic veteran, firefighter, and Founder and Executive Director of A Silent War Within Media. Kevin introduces us to The Erosion Effect, the cumulative impact of years of calls, experiences, and operational stress that can slowly wear down even the most experienced first responder. We discuss why it isn't always the "bad call" that affects us. Kevin shares his experiences and stories that you don't want to miss. We also discuss A Silent War Within Media, its free Rescuing the Rescuer summits, support for first responders and their families, and Kevin's mission to make sure those who spend their lives rescuing others know when and how to seek help themselves.

    Episode 337: Jeff Dill
    Sep 5 2026

    Ten years after his first appearance on Medic2Medic on August 28, 2016, Jeff Dill returns to the podcast. Jeff is a retired Fire Captain, counselor, and founder of the Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance. Since 2010, he has dedicated his work to improving behavioral health awareness and suicide prevention for firefighters, EMS professionals, dispatchers, and their families.

    In this episode, Steve and Jeff look back at what has and hasn't changed over the past decade. The conversation explores first responder suicide, the importance of tracking and understanding the data, moral injury, peer support, organizational culture, and whether our profession has truly improved behavioral health support or simply become better at talking about it.

    Jeff also shares lessons from his work as Behavioral Health Administrator for Las Vegas Fire & Rescue, the impact our careers can have on families, and why hope remains such an important part of his message. Ten years later, this remains a conversation our profession needs to have.

    Episode 336: James Owen
    Aug 23 2026
    In this episode of the Medic2Medic Podcast, retired Long Beach Fire Department Captain James Owen shares his story with remarkable openness and brutal honesty.
    After nearly three decades in emergency response, James talks about what the job gave him and what it quietly took away. He takes us through cumulative operational stress, PTSD, addiction, organizational betrayal, family impact, treatment, and the difficult work of recovery.

    James also discusses his book, The Last Patient: A Memoir of Resilience and Recovery, and the gap between how well we train first responders to handle the call and how poorly we sometimes prepare them to deal with what remains after the call is over.
    This is a compelling and deeply personal conversation about identity, accountability, asking for help, and rebuilding a life when the person trained to rescue everyone else realizes he needs help himself. James doesn't tell his story as a responder. He tells it as a firefighter, paramedic, captain, husband, father, and first responder who lived it.

    Subscribe to Medic2Medic wherever you get your podcasts, and please share Episode 336. This is a conversation worth hearing, and one our profession needs to continue having.
