Ep. 33: Working at the Crossroads

Happy EMS Week you prehospital studs!!! We’ve all heard of the law EMTALA or otherwise known as the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act.  But how does this law affect what we do in the world of EMS?  We know it’s usually hospitals who are liable…not EMS systems...right!?!?!?  Maybe not!  Little do you know, that EMS systems can be liable.  Why do you ask?  Well in this episode of the But Why EMS podcast, the team explores what EMTALA is and how it affects your everyday practice of Prehospital Medicine.  We’re joined by our special guest: Hashim Zaidi MD FAEMS FACEP @hashimzMD Medical Director and Emergency Physician in Houston Texas.
