CRITICAL LEVELS - THE PODCAST -
“Critical Levels” is a new podcast dedicated to having critical conversations in paramedicine created for paramedics, by paramedics, with a Canadian and local bias.
The opinions and discussion within the podcast are meant as educational material for paramedics, and it is not meant to establish a standard of care – please do not deviate from your local medical directives.
We hope to release monthly episodes, but we are in this together – please reach out with ideas for guests and topics.
In addition to the podcast, which will be availiable across all podcast platforms, this website serves as a central location for episode summaries and resources.
Happy listening!
Episode 14 – Bruises, Breaks & Burns: Child & Youth Maltreatment – Dr Michelle Ward
Unlike any other health care professionals, paramedics have the unique opportunity in entering the homes of some of their patients. With this comes a certain responsibility and obligation to report any indications of risk, especially with pediatric populations. With pediatric populations sometimes it is difficult to determine what injuries can be caused by normal childhood behaviour, accidents, or child maltreatment.
Everyone in out of hospital/pre hospital care (clinical roles and management) needs to listen to this #bias #DecisionMaking #Paramedic https://twitter.com/criticalevels/status/1406976746294059013

@criticalevels Fantastic podcast! This should be a listen for all paramedics. The crown's decision to lay the charge and they subsequent conviction should be a wakeup call for us to give a good hard look at bias, culture, and decision making in our profession.
Interesting listen. Haven listened to the decision and circumstances I personally think this should have gone the medical malpractice route vs criminal charges. https://twitter.com/criticalevels/status/1406976746294059013

This court decision has the potential to influence any healthcare providers in Ontario. The @criticalevels interview is relevant, timely & Chris Robertson brings a unique perspective. An important listen for every paramedic in the province. Great job @zachcantor https://twitter.com/criticalevels/status/1406976746294059013
