À propos de ce contenu audio

28 years in EMS changes how you see the job.

In this episode of Tales from the Tailboard Podcast, Isaac sits down with Brian Collins — veteran paramedic, instructor, assistant training coordinator, and human trafficking awareness advocate — for a real conversation about what experience teaches that textbooks can’t.

From starting his career in New York City to training providers across the Carolinas, Brian breaks down the gaps in EMS education, the danger of prioritizing numbers over competence, and why scene safety is often more myth than reality.

This episode also dives into human trafficking awareness and why EMS providers are in a unique position to identify victims through observation, compassion, and situational awareness — without putting themselves in danger.

We also discuss:

  • EMS training and where it’s failing providers

  • The difference between classroom success and street readiness

  • Tactical medicine and decision-making under pressure

  • Supporting injured and ill EMS providers

  • Functional fitness and being capable of doing the job

This isn’t about hot takes or war stories.
It’s about responsibility, awareness, and leaving the profession better than we found it.
