"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

A motorcycle accident victim faces dire circumstances and our team has to execute a new procedure that is rarely done in the field and has a high degree of risk if not done correctly. They are one of the only teams in the region equipped to even do such a procedure, and our team is concerned about doing it correctly because a lot can go wrong. Could you do a procedure you don't normally do with an audience? Because in addition to having to execute for the good of the patient, our team had the patient's family, other first responders and more watching them. Listen in as our team tackles another fascinating case on this episode of AMPED. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

A pinkie promise is a promise you cannot break, and it's one our patient in this month's episode made to his wife when he was stricken with a life-threatening COVID infection. She made him promise that he would pull through the ordeal, and he did... but not without many bumps in the road. Our team not only battled our patient's COVID, but also a nasty case of pneumonia that ultimately led to him needing to be placed on ECMO, which, as you know, is usually a last resort. Listen in as they transported him prone, which our team had never done before in 20+ years of experience, dealt with an unexpected hailstorm during transport and find out how our patient ended up doing after a lung transplant.

The holidays are a time for hope, a time for believing in the extraordinary. Remember that classic holiday film, Miracle on 34th Street ? Just when everyone's lost faith, a series of unexpected events bring about the impossible. Well, this week on the Air Methods Prehospital Education Podcast, we bring you a real-life story that echoes that same spirit. It's a case of resilience, determination, and the power of preparation in the face of a life-threatening pediatric emergency. Picture this: a child in cardiac arrest, the festive joy replaced by the urgent need to save a life. Our crew, faced with a medical mystery and a young life hanging in the balance, refused to give up. Like Kris Kringle himself, they needed more than just skill – they needed a touch of magic, a sprinkle of the extraordinary. Join us as our AMPED crew, Medical Director Dr. Wilmas, Flight Nurse Nyssa Hattaway, and I, delve into this heartwarming case, exploring how preparation, quick thinking, and a series of fortunate events intertwined to save a child's life. It's a story that reminds us that even in the darkest of moments, hope, like the spirit of the holidays, can prevail. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?

A seemingly simple heart attack gives our team pause because the patient presents a litany of conflicting symptoms. Should our team send him to have a stent put in right away - as is standard procedure - or do they wait to address the other symptoms and risk muscle damage? What would you do if you were in their position? Our hosts consider the symptoms and give their own recommendations while our team shares what actually unfolded. The lesson is that if something feels a bit off, it's important to listen to your intuition. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

When our team is dispatched in the middle of the night to a hospital that almost never calls them requesting air transport for a case of an obstructed airway that doesn't, at first blush, seem like it warrants it, our team approaches with caution and curiosity. When they arrive, something doesn't add up and they first opt to phone the on-call doctor to explain the situation, and then dig deep into their bag of tricks - a la famous, resourceful TV character MacGyver - to improvise a unique solution.

Any pediatric case comes with a higher degree of tension due to a variety of factors including compensatory responses to distress leading to a precarious "cliff" when those compensatory efforts cease. When our team is dispatched to a 5 year-old child struggling to breathe, yet still shows strong vital signs, how will the AMPED team respond? This episode discusses at great length understanding that even though we should strive for perfection in every action we take, sometimes "good" is good enough because recovery is a long road and there are skilled and caring teams awaiting us when we hand off our patients.

By necessity, our teams are dispatched to most extreme, most rare, most complex, and sometimes most hopeless-seeming cases any patient could ever experience. It would be easy to look at certain cases - like say, a man whose legs are stuck in a concrete augur on a precarious platform with injuries that are intermingled and devastating - and assess that he's not going to make it. Our Air Methods team uses creativity, determination, skill and compassion to exhaust every possible method to help our patients achieve even the slimmest possibility of survival. This month's story is one such story of going the distance no matter what. Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

Our profession requires extensive and exhaustive training. Much of it can seem esoteric and possibly unnecessary at the time, but we train on all of these things for a reason. When our team comes upon a severely burned patient, they extent of the burns causes a melange of difficulties. Could an obscure, and rarely used, procedure ultimately help and provide the patient more time? The AMPED team discusses this little-used technique and we discuss the importance of remaining familiar with the abundance of techniques and treatments we learn during our training.
