Ep: 8 Prove It or Lose It – Competency Verification & Skills CheckAfter eight classes, the crew hits a mid-season “prove it” moment. Mike, Max, and Jonathan recap Section One of EMT school and what it’s like to switch from book work to demonstrating real skills under pressure. It’s a lighter, story-driven debrief that still digs into hands-on takeaways—like practicing backboards with head blocks for c-spine control—and why actually touching the equipment beats watching someone else do it.They also run through the big themes from the first eight chapters: EMS system overview, EMT well-being, legal/ethical scenarios, patient movement, med terms, anatomy, pathophysiology, and lifespan development—plus how the “skills check” vibe changes the way you study and perform.Episode Breakdown00:00 – Intro & welcome back to RideAlong (Ep. 8 kickoff)02:22 – Sponsor Spotlight: xShear Trauma Shears + Giveaway reminder38:57 – Section One recap: from EMT wellness to patient movement, ethics, terminology, anatomy, pathophysiology, and lifespan development45:02 – Hands-on highlights: backboards, head blocks, and why c-spine practice matters45:44 – “Doing it beats watching it”: why practical reps change everything46:41 – How we’ll treat review episodes + where to connect with us on socials47:24 – Closing & disclaimer--------------------------------------⚠️ Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and storytelling purposes only.
