Dipped into this show by chance on a rec from another show. Love the idea of ems around the world. Fascinating.

I love listening to this podcast on my way to work. Spending 2 hours of learning is never boring.

Learn a new way to look at things with every single episode. Big things to small things this podcast never disappoints.

Anyone involved or interested in critical care - transport or not, should be listening to this podcast!!! Always interesting topics, fantastic content.

This is my go to podcast during my commute to work. It is always engaging, makes me think, and helps get me in a good head space for my shift. They do a great job diversifying their content and always bringing new things to the table, including their new “Around the World” series. I don’t know of another podcast that has made as much of an effort to transform and better our community to the extent they have. I can’t wait to hear more. -Whitney

I’m new to HEMS and Heavy Lies the Helmet has helped me in so many ways. The podcasts are a step ahead of the rest. These guys are motivated to inspire critical thinking, scrutiny of standardization and exceptional care of our patients. Thankyou HLTH!

As an avid listener of podcasts centered around personal growth and professional development, stumbling upon Heavy Lies the Helmet has been an absolute treasure. The depth of topics covered by Mike & Bryan Boone are truly impressive. From discussions on mental health and resilience to practical tips for enhancing EMS skills, case review to in depth discussions of obscure medical conditions and treatments. The podcast caters to both seasoned professionals and aspiring newcomers alike all while creating a fun atmosphere that won't put you to sleep on your morning drive. I can promise you'll take away tips that translate directly to 911 and critical care practice and resiliency of the EMS spirit. HLTH serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in developing their practice and furthering knowledge in prehospital medicine and you'll eagerly await the next episode. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a first responder, this podcast offers a wealth of wisdom and inspiration that is sure to leave you feeling motivated and empowered. Highly recommended without reservation!

As a new paramedic, HLTH has been a fantastic source for expanding my clinical knowledge beyond the fundamental education that I obtained in school. Great content delivered in an engaging manner. I highly recommended it for new paramedics or any clinician in the EM and critical care field.

Absolutely amazing podcast, they dive into the uncomfortable topics of medicine that most may stray away from. It’s is apparent the do plenty of research before each podcast, and put alot of hard work and effort in. They are 100% for the prehospital community. 🤟🏽

I didn’t even know what a podcast was until a few years ago. I slowly started listening to HLTH on jogs, if I was on a trail by myself because I didn’t even own headphones. Dan, Mike, Amanda, and their guests are intelligent, fun to listen to, and cover a wide array of topics at a depth that can be understood without too much extra research. I appreciate their commitment to dispensing hems and medical knowledge through multiple learning platforms. Keep up the good work!

As a former Emergency Room Nurse for 5 years and freshly minted now Surgical ICU nurse. I have found that in addition to these podcasts being enjoyable to listen to, they help reinforce and provide the extra depth in knowledge of the patient conditions i see on a daily basis and now require to provide the level of care my patients deserve. The wide variety of topics and including both medical, provider improvement and transport considerations, keep it interesting. #Crash&Learn24

Absolutely love learning from these amazing clinicians! I am a 3 year experienced Trauma ICU RN with goals of flying one day and this podcast provide education to prepare me for my bedside shift and my future flying ICU.

HLTH never disappoints. The content is for everyone. I feel as though I am in the same room and participating in the conversation. I listen for the medical content but alway have a desire to be a better person and am grateful for my situation. Episode 116 with Daniel Panaflor reminded me what we are all in medicine to do, help make people better and it doesn’t matter if we have the best education or secondhand books. I can’t wait to hear about medicine in other countries. I appreciate the knowledge and reminders to be humble. Thanks HLTH.

I’ve been a flight paramedic forever and a day. Listen. Listen again. Take notes. Put it into your practice. Then ask for a raise.

HLTH really has a way of delivering a great balance of information all while using the collective effort of multiple sources of information. Give it a listen, you can’t go wrong with this podcast. Excellent work!

This series is well presented with technical expertise and humor. Improvement idea: do not bring up the closing music over your guests’ final comments. Keep up the great work.

A group of very dedicated individuals!

Excellent podcast for anyone in the medical field or just wants insight into what emergency care looks like.

I’m a 2 year medic in a slow rural agency. I am slowly making my way into the CC arena and thankfully found this podcast! I love that they break things into small pieces so I can understand them and put the info into my practice! Thank you!

I found these guys a few months ago and binged every single episode. These guys and gals changed my perspective on pre-hospital emergency care in a time when I was struggling to know why I was doing EMS. I still listen for the knowledge and passion each of them has for the craft of EMS and hospital emergency care. I recommend this show to all of my EMS friends.

I listen to a lot of podcasts including several in the medical/critical care world. Heavy Lies the Helmet is hands-down my favorite. As a critical care provider they bring a fantastic balance of education, humor, and information while being wholly accessible and relatable. The topics vary and are all applicable to flight medicine but can absolutely be applied to all areas of medicine. If you haven’t listened to them yet, you should start.

I’ve listened to quite a few medical podcasts (critical care nurse here) and this one is by far the most interesting, engaging and applicable to practice. Wanting to hop over into the flight world, I have found this podcast to be invaluable. I really enjoy listening and learning! Thanks for all the hard work you put into this podcast to make it available to all of us!

Great talk on communication.

Great to have real discussion on why we do things. Evidence is a great tool and has changed practice. Always enjoy listening to these podcasts!

One of my favorite emergency/critical care podcasts to listen to. Delivered in an easy-to-digest, conversational format with likable personalities and quality information and discussion. Keep up the great work!

Mike, Brian, and Dan do a phenomenal job! I’ve been listening to them for the past three years. And thanks to their content I was able to obtain my F-PC and my C-NPT. If your looking for fun, easy to listen to content that will up your game. HLTH is one of the best resources going.

One of my favorite podcasts for prehospital and critical care Education.

Casual learning opportunities with excellent people.

I have never been really good at learning from books, I like to hear experiences and different points of view, this podcast has helped me understand difficult concepts. I’m excited to learn more on my way to becoming a flight paramedic!

As a new flight nurse (Air Force) and experienced ER nurse, this is a great place to get the knowledge to go beyond what we’re taught, our experience and beyond what’s in our EFB (electronic flight bag…. Basically all our SOPs on an iPad). It makes you think critically and I love that it has practical applications no matter what supplies you fly with.

There are a lot of very educational podcasts available but I really enjoy listening to Heavy Lies the Helmet. They have very timely and relatable topics and the information can be used by any transport provider. Always a good review of things you know with tips on things you might not.

Just like the title says, these guys bring EBM with in-depth explanation and breakdown for even a dumb little ground medic like my self. These guys are fantastic, they are my daily listen!

Amazing content, evidence-based discussions full of pertinent topics, realistic application, and engaging material - and to top it off you get credit (CEs) for listening?! Amazing. I’m a big fan and so glad I have this resource to help me in my flight career!

I LOVE this channel! I recommend it to all of my friends and colleagues. Now that I have my CFRN and I need more CEs I will be subscribing to the CME Collective so I can collect those hours while I’m driving to and from work!

Love listening to this podcast. They truly help me expand my knowledge base and become a better practitioner! I don’t miss an episode. Even if I have no idea what they’re talking about, I make sure to listen and learn!

I have been a follower of this podcast for a while now. The information is great and it is delivered in a fun and educational format. Keep up the great work!!!

Awesome lectures to listen to. This series has really helped me throughout my career

This podcast is as informative as it is entertaining. I’m always engaged. I am also a member of the CME collective so i get CEU for listening. Other forms of CE can be boring and often taught by people who no longer practice nursing or EMS.

HLTH is by far my favorite EMS/Critical Care podcast I listen to! I am relatively new to critical care and I find their content very informative and easy to listen to. I’d recommend this podcast to anyone in the prehospital setting!

The HLTH Podcast is, by far, one of the best podcasts out there for the critical care provider. As an ED/ICU nurse, I attribute a lot of my learning outside of bedside experience to their podcasts and their guest speakers. Constantly challenging my thinking and providing ample research/reasoning to support their teaching. Always a highlight of my day to get a new podcast update! Thanks y’all! 👍

Great podcast!

Love this podcast, it has helped my knowledge base so much. Also the humor makes it fun to listen to.

Always up to date and super informational! Definitely a must for any nurse (and especially us flight nurses). Appreciate the content! Keep it up!!

How can you not love HLTH? After years of working 911 and doing “trips,” I later learned we were doing a version on CCT. Since CCEMTP in 2004, CCTP and FPC in 2019 I’ve learned we (more specifically me) weren’t doing it very well. I’m a career fireman but moonlight (12-50hrs a week) in a very busy Urban 911 system as well as an outside area doing CCT. I do a ton of driving between gigs and these Podcasts are just vital to “keeping up!” I started as a paramedic in 1994 and keeping up with the times is very challenging. Thank you for helping folks (like me) keep up.

As an old paramedic and new to flight I have found the brothers compelling with content that is relevant to both my new role as a flight medic and as a seasoned ground medic. Thank you guys for this great platform

The quality of this podcast is amazing. It is very well executed; however, I’m your average provider and I do feel as if the content is almost too much of an attempt to be prove clinical intelligence. No doubt these guys are very intelligent, but it comes across in a way that even I, as a care provider, find a bit too verbose.

Good sound quality.

My previous life was in commercial radio, so when I try to listen to a lot of podcasts casts the production quality, or lack there of, is something I pay a lot of attention to. If it’s poor quality, the content doesn’t matter. HLTH has great production coupled with solid content and an easy to digest approach to complex topics. Well worth your time....

I love the “real world” approach taken by HLTH. A+ for any CC air or ground provider.

With the influx of similar podcasts regarding critical care transport or pre-hospital patient care, it’s hard to find one that maintains my attention like the HLTH. Your team deserves the 5 stars given — keep up the good work!
