S01E01: Club Drugs & Non-Legal Highs (Part 1)

Paramedics are constantly in the middle of life and death
situations. In the first full episode of the Medics.Academy Pre
Hospital Care podcast, paramedics Owen Walker, Richard McGirr, and
Martin Mist discuss Club Drugs and Non-Legal Highs and their
effects on patients. As paramedics, they’re the first medical
professionals to assess a situation before getting them to
physicians at the hospital. They see the patients at their lowest
point, suffering from anything from a cardiac arrest, a severe
allergic reaction or a psychotic episode. Among many other topics,
this episode covers the common and uncommon presentations of
patients after drug overdoses and what paramedics look for and how
to assess the situations.
