| 3/19/23 | ![]() The Problematic Employee | An employee commits a terrible crime – should the employer be liable? In this episode, we explore the nuances of negligent hiring, retention, supervision, and training. What does it mean for an employee to be “in the scope of employment” to allow their employer to be sued in the first place? When is an EMS agency responsible for its own negligence in keeping a problematic employee on staff? If an employee commits a terrible crime, is the agency automatically off the hook?

| 2/5/23 | ![]() The Worst of Us | Season 3 is here! The release of the police body camera footage in the cases of Earl Moore, Jr. in Springfield, Illinois and Tyre Nichols in Memphis, Tennessee show EMS personnel at their worst. In both cases, the providers failed to assess their patients and render proper treatment. In Illinois, these failures resulted in first degree murder charges; in Tennessee, the firings of the personnel involved. The results of the cases may differ based upon whether the providers have qualified immunity. In this episode, Nick and Samantha discuss the legal concept of qualified immunity and its application in the two cases. We take a hard look at what these cases say about EMS as a profession, and what it means to have the worst of us on public display. Please like, comment, and subscribe!

| 1/10/23 | ![]() Lazarus Syndrome | It’s the stuff of nightmares and horror stories: the dead rising from the grave. On August 23, 2020, it happened in Michigan after a woman who was declared deceased by the responding EMS crew “woke up” in a funeral home. Her case has been described as an instance of “Lazarus Syndrome”, or “autoresuscitation after failed cardiopulmonary resuscitation”, but was it this rare condition or negligence on the part of the providers? Nick and Samantha discuss the family’s $50 million lawsuit against the City and the providers and examine the clinical and legal issues around patients presumed to be deceased.

| 9/2/22 | ![]() Deliberate Indifference | Dispatchers, call-takers, emergency communications officers – our 911 communications staff are our first first responders. They work to ensure that patients receive the right resources for their emergencies. But sometimes, it goes wrong. According to a recently filed lawsuit, a Pennsylvania dispatcher refused to send an ambulance to a patient, resulting in the patient’s death. The incident was allegedly so egregious that the local district attorney filed criminal charges against the dispatcher and his leadership. In this episode, Nick and Samantha discuss the case of Titchennell v. Greene County, Pennsylvania, and explore the liability issues for 911 centers. Please like, comment, and subscribe!

| 6/21/22 | ![]() Do NOT Resuscitate | In April 2022, 81-year old Celeste Salanitri died twelve days after being resuscitated by paramedics. Unfortunately, she never wanted to be resuscitated in the first place. Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) laws – and the accompanying forms and rules – can be confusing.

| 5/30/22 | ![]() Season 2, Episode 3: Two Fire Chiefs and a Lawyer Get Sued | We are now two years out from the beginning of “The Situation”, which means that it’s time for the lawsuits. In this episode, Nick and Samantha review a case from Klamath County, Oregon, where the alleged malpractice of the responding paramedics led to a woman’s death from complications of Covid. This case has some very sad – and shocking – facts. But it’s not just the medics who may be at fault – it’s the fire chief, his deputy chief, and even the department’s lawyer! From federal Section 1983 civil rights claims to state law claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress, Nick and Samantha break down why everyone gets the blame.

| 4/27/22 | ![]() RaDonda Vaught - Crime and Punishment | In late December 2017, Vanderbilt nurse RaDonda Vaught administered the wrong medication to a patient who subsequently died of an anoxic brain injury. On March 25, 2022, a Tennessee jury found her guilty of gross neglect of an impaired adult and criminally negligent homicide. Should providers – especially EMS providers – be worried that a medication error in the field could lead to jail time? Is every treatment decision potentially a basis for not only civil liability, but criminal as well? Nick and Samantha ask you to take your seat in the jury box as they discuss what actually happened. Was this case truly just an “error”, or was there more to the story? Given the facts as they were presented, and the law that applies to the case, would you have made the same decision?

| 3/7/22 | ![]() Woo Woo Pull Over!! | On this episode of the Standard of Care Podcast, Nick and Samantha take a look at some of the liability issues surrounding the use of red lights and sirens. What does the law allow the driver of an emergency vehicle to do? What is “due regard”, anyway? Are shorter response times making drivers more unsafe? How does a plaintiff prove his or her case against the driver of an emergency vehicle, and what can you as the driver do to protect yourself? Please like, comment, and subscribe! Links: Epps, K.
