ABOUT US


Our vision is to provide empathetic engagement with fellow emergency medical service providers through high-quality discussion about the topics most meaningful to you and us, the EMS provider.


Welcome to our podcast, and thank you for allowing us to serve you. Pragmatic Paramedics are two medics with the desire to talk about topics pertinent to EMS and paramedicine. We are clinicians, but this podcast is dedicated to the subjects you and your partners discuss riding to and from scenes, sitting in a parking lot, or at your station or firehouse waiting for the next run to come out.


We hope that you not only enjoy but contribute to the discussion and grow with us together. No topic is off the table, and we only ask that you be respectful of each other.

Otherwise, grab a cup of coffee and let us get to chatting. Thank you, we look forward to learning about you and hearing your opinions.

The Pragmatic Stig

Our humble overachieving web designer and full time paramedic has insisted to remain anonymous and we will respect those wishes. That said, not only is the Pragmatic Stig a fantastic paramedic but is also the person responsible for the website and all the behind the scenes work associated with it.

Without the Pragmatic Stig we would be in utter chaos, so please take a moment to recognize this individuals contribution to making paramedicine and EMS a better place to work. And my life a little less complicated! Cheers mate
