On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

In this episode, Zach Cantor talks with Anthony Iacolucci, a pediatric respiratory therapist and paramedic, about how to confidently approach neonatal calls. Anthony introduces NEO SECRETS , a practical acronym covering the top 10 causes of neonatal illness, and offers insight into assessment, common pitfalls, and key treatment considerations. NEO SECRETS Breakdown: • N – Inborn errors of metabolism • E – Electrolyte abnormalities • O – Overdose or toxic exposure • S – Sepsis (the leading cause of neonatal mortality) • E – Endocrine crisis (e.g., hypoglycemia, adrenal insufficiency) • C – Cardiac conditions (cyanotic vs. acyanotic presentations) • R – Recipe or formula mishaps (e.g., dilution errors leading to hyponatremia) • E – Enteric emergencies (e.g., malrotation with volvulus, gastroenteritis) • T – Trauma, including accidental and non-accidental injuries • S – Seizures (often subtle and hard to recognize in neonates) Key Takeaways: • Neonates are not small adults or even small pediatric patients—they are physiologically distinct and highly vulnerable. • Early identification of sepsis, cardiac issues, and metabolic errors can save lives. • Paramedics should rely on strong assessment skills, detailed history-taking, and high suspicion for uncommon causes. • Videos, glucose checks, pre-ductal saturations, and detailed caregiver interviews are essential field tools. • Understanding neonatal physiology, presentation timelines, and risk factors improves both confidence and outcomes. Why Listen: If you’ve ever felt unprepared when faced with a neonatal call, this episode provides a clear, practical, and memorable guide to the top threats to neonates—and how to recognize and respond to them in the field.…
In this episode of Critical Levels, we dive into the cutting-edge strategies shaping pre-hospital and emergency department care.

On this month's episode, we chat with Matt Smith about wilderness medicine. As we shift from a high resource to a low resource setting, there are 3 main concepts to consider: - Ideal to real - High risk to low risk - Stable to unstable These concepts are important as we shift our practice and prepare ourselves. For this patient context, we need to focus on the things we can't replace, and learn to manage that. Our approach to these patients need to be algorithmic, and focus on doing the basics well. Two mnemonics (H-E-M-P; A-B-C-D-E) are presented to help with our approach. Lastly, hypothermia assessment and management is discussed.…
