I love flight nurses! I patterned myself after the greatest flight nurse ever, Kathy Mayer! Kathy worked for St. Anthony hospitals in Denver, Flight for Life, The Children's Hospital in Denver as their first Trauma Nurse Coordinator. I heard those angelic songs every time she walked in the door. I became a nurse in 1999. I have never regretted it once. Thanks, Kathy!
Omg! Never in my life I suspected any of this going on. A flying nurse doing all this. My gosh! Nurses are so unappreciated! Hats off to all of them in all departments and positions. It is definitely a job of love. ❤️
I was a phlebotomist in the 90s, for 10 years, it really is something special to see the flight nurses coming through the breezeway and wheeling their patient down the hallways,i always got goosebumps , RESPECT !!! ♥️
People really need to start appreciating you guys more, you guys have to put up with so much of our shit and still try your best to help. For anybody who reads this that works in the ER or in any sort of medical field, thank you for all you do. 💖
This was a great interview. The last part where she was talking about treating her patients like human beings reminded me so much of my favorite instructors in EMT school. They were incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, had done it forever, but still retained their ability to treat people with dignity and compassion. They are my role models. ❤
Wow she is really an amazing person with a great heart Ive always wanted to be a nurse but closet I ever got was working a little at nursing home but due to medical problems cant do it anymore but i addmire her and she sounds like an amazeing person just think how many lives she has saved and changed over these years and her commitment into helping people someone to truely look up to
I lived most of my life in a rural community. The medical flight response team are the only way we have to get emergency help. Without them so many people would die.
The millionaires out there need to hand all their wealth straight to this lady, rarely does worth their weight in gold apply, she’s straight up amazing
@steveioe, your comedy is entertaining. Nonetheless, this podcast is, I think, your most-important and -meaningful contribution. Current and former medical professionals like you do not otherwise get enough exposure and credit, and you have brought your community of current and former medical professionals more exposure than you all would otherwise receive.
I agree with you 100%!!! What he's doing, besides the fact that this (Him) is super funny, is one of the best authentic representations for health care workers I've ever seen. He's giving a clear voice to people who are rarely seen or heard by others, and I think that it's so important. He's making people, you and me at least 😊 but I know it's for most people who watch too, have a greater appreciation for the hard working people who care and take care of others in such a magnificent, heroic way. She was definitely one of my favorite episodes. She is such an amazing person to learn from. + Just knowing that someone like her is responsible for such an important role, for saving people's lives, is absolutely incredible. She deserves all of those praises, yet still so humble 😊🌼🩷
The reimbursement rate needs to change. In Florida an ambulance ride of 2 miles can run up to $2,000! On top of that the ambulance companies charge by the mile. And we pay extra taxes for the ambulance. I admire this woman for her commitment to the community she calls home.
That sounds like the ambulance companies are making bank. What she described was only getting $110 for reimbursement from public healthcare. I assumed from what she said that that's all they get. Do you mean that's not how it works in Florida? Like, are people having to make up the difference between what the insurance pays and the charges from the ambulance companies?
Thank you 😊.....for keeping it real...i love you interviewing real life people i n the medical field....🤗 My daughter is a step down unit and ICU RN and has another job as a Hospice Intake Nurse.
Love these interviews. Please keep going. I'm not in the medical profession but I really appreciate these stories. Been going to the hospital for tests and every time I tell the techs about you and when I go back and see the people again, they are now huge fans!
I was an RN for 13 years after being a Medication Aide for 4. When I lost my licensure, i had to retake the med aide certification class to work as a CMA. I couldn't even challenge the State test! SMH made no sense whatsoever....to me.
What a great interview!!! Lisa is a legend and I'd be more than happy to work as a medic for her as my leader. Bravo Lisa and awesome interview Steve 🙂
You are both badass mfrs. Love all your podcasts Steve. Medical people are all part of a dream team. No one can do it alone. You people are heros that wear a cape and a halo. Blessings to you all❤
EMTs doing house calls: It brings me back to the one time I needed emergency transportation. We had just gotten to move into our new home 3 days earlier, so there was basically no furniture. We were sleeping on mattresses on the floor for the first 2 nights and assembled the guest room daybed they day before. We had a plumber coming that day for the tub leaking into the living room. I had the worst night sleeping, I just assumed because pregnant and uncomfortable. I end up in the other tub for cramping and just end up napping there while my partner deals with the plumber. After the plumber cut holes in the ceiling of the living room and left, my partner tries to get me out of the bath. I can't lift myself up. Call 9-1-1, and an ambulance comes. I just have a towel on and have 0 effs to give about it. I basically tell myself this is probably not the strangest thing they have seen this week. They scoop me out of the tub, which is drained by now. Take me down the stairs and load me up. I'm also wondering what the neighbors think, this probably being their first impression of us, if they're even home. When there is a moment that they aren't working on me, I request band-aids for my nipples because of sore pregnant nipples and not wearing pasties in the bath. They end up not having time to do it. After passing me off to ER staff and a similar lull, I asked an ER nurse, and she gave me nipple band-aids before I went into surgery. It was a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and I had internal bleeding. Bonus positive covid test. We moved back in with in-laws for recovery because they had furniture, and they were the ones who gave us covid.
In addition to increasing reimbursements, I wonder if ambulance companies and the federal/state governments could use collective bargaining to reduce the costs for the ambulances. For example, have deals with suppliers for automotive maintenance and medical supplies. That would increase profit margins without having to pay a lot more on reimbursements.

As a flight nurse myself, it’s really good to see our peeps represented!

Nurses are unsung heroes. Thank you for your service because you are passionate about it. 💕💕💕
I lived most of my life in a rural community. The medical flight response team are the only way we have to get emergency help. Without them so many people would die.
I had to be air flighted to a hospital a long time ago and I'm so grateful for the people on that helicopter for taking care of me.
As someone who lives in a rural community, these crews are essential for us. Thank you for all you do for your community.

Bishop is gorgeous!!!!
a Zoll on ebay...OMG! WTF! You should make a video about that with Austin and full moons.
It seems like Steve doesn't really listen
Where do you go after flight paramedic? You go to nursing school.
Who else thought it said fight nursing 😂
