Show 140 Wrap-up: Chronicles of EMS



Thanks to Ted Setla from EMS Media for talking on Doctor Anonymous Show 140 about the new reality web series called "Chronicles of EMS." Our discussion started with us talking about Ted's background as a paramedic AND a filmmaker. We then went into the origins of the CoEMS project which started with a bunch of passionate people who wanted to share a point of view which has never been covered like this before.

According to their promo material, CoEMS is "a reality web series that travels the world exploring EMS systems, how they operate and the personalities behind them." If you haven't checked out the trailer/preview of the first show, you can check it out here. Our interview also covered how they are getting sponsorship for episodes and how a community really has come together around this show. They have masterfully used both social media solutions along with in-person meetups.

As always, you can listen to the show right here on the player above. You can also download the show and listen anytime by clicking here. Don't forget to check out my video post above. There were a few new listeners who checked out the show, and I just wanted to say thanks for stopping by!

Good luck to CoEMS on their premiere which will be Feb 12, 2010 at 5pm pacific time at their website. I wish I could be there for the in-person meetup. My next show will be Saturday, January 16, 2010 at 9pm ET. Hope you can be there!

Dr. A Show 140 Preview: Chronicles of EMS


Let me tell you about the power of social media. So, I was just listening to the live podcast called MedicCastLive and one of the panelists mentioned a new reality web series called Chronicles of EMS. Their promo based material calls CoEMS Chronicles "a reality web series that travels the world exploring EMS systems, how they operate and the personalities behind them."

This sounds very exciting! Our guest will be Thaddeus Setla from EMSMedia.TV to talk about the new series which will be premiering on Feburary 12, 2010 on EMSMedia.TV. You can see the trailer/preview of the first episode below. Let me tell you, the production value of the preview is top notch (as you'll see below). So, I'm looking forward to checking out this show.

I hope that you can join me on Thursday, January 14, 2010 at 9pm ET/6pm PT for Doctor Anonymous Show 140. In case you didn't know, in addition to the live podcast, there is a chat room, a webcam of me, and your ability to call into the show to say hello. Hope you can join us this week for the show!


The Weight Loss Resolution

With the long holiday weekend coming to a close (at least for me), I'm looking at the prospect of returning to work tomorrow. Being four days into the new year tomorrow, probably one of the most common questions I get asked is the "magic" of losing weight fast. In addition, it's probably no coincidence that the reality show "The Biggest Loser" is making it's premiere for its latest season in the US on the January 5th, 2010.

I had the privilege of being asked by our local TV station here to talk about the dreaded "Weight Loss New Year's Resolution" that many people make but few people actually stick to (including myself - yeesh). I admit that I don't give the magic solution in either of these videos (above video link & below video link). However, I hope to give people at least some things to think about as they start the beginning of this year on the road to better health...

Show 138 Wrap-up



Had a great time with Doctor Anonymous Show 138 tonight! I talked about some news stories (including Ohio State's win at the 2010 Rose Bowl) and midway through the show, our good friend Ben called in to chat. In addition, THE Burl checked in. And, to my pleasant surprise, BTR personality Dr. Blogstein called into the show to say hello - that is until his cell phone battery died (or so he said). All in all, not a bad show tonight. (also check out the video above which is the opening 5 minutes to the show)

Show 137 Wrap-up: New Year's Eve 2009


I have never done a New Year's Eve show before. And, I have to admit that this was a great experience. Not only was I live on the air at midnight for the eastern time zone, I was also on the air live for midnight for the central time zone as well. It looked a lot more dramatic on TV, but in the video below, is my lack of enthusiasm as midnight struck in the eastern time zone. Also on the show with me at this time is our good friend FriggenBenQ.

If you have never listened to my internet radio show before, I encourage you to listen to the archived show in the player above. Or, if you like, you can download the show and listen anytime by clicking here. Thanks to Ben, Kim, and Dana for calling into the show and helping to keep me awake. Thanks as always for your support of the website and for the show! Happy New Year!

Show 136 Wrap-up



Who would ever do a live internet radio show on the day after Christmas? Well, I did. Can you believe that? On Doctor Anonymous Show 136, I talked about some news stories from this past week, about December 26th being Boxing Day, and about my holiday week. In addition, good friend of the show Kim called in to hang out for the end of the show. Thanks so much!

Show 135 Wrap-up



For Doctor Anonymous Show 135, I welcomed back our good friend Kat to the show. Kat is the host of the BlogTalkRadio show called "Faith Ignited." During show 135, we talked a lot about the Christmas holiday, some news stories, and what some things that she's been doing lately.

Show 134 Wrap-up



Show 134 was a "Saturday Night with Dr. A" show. I talked about just a few medical/health related news stories. Then, I went into some "not so serious" news stories which also had some audio clips associated with them. I again issued my "BlogTalkRadio Santa Hat Host Challenge" which you will see below. It was silly, but I thought it was funny.


As always, you can listen to Show 134 on the player above. Or, if you like, you can download the show and listen anytime by clicking here. Just to let everyone know, there will be no Thursday Night show this week as I will be at a Christmas/Holiday party having a good time. However, my next show will be Saturday night! Who knows what will happen then. Thanks for your support of the show and I hope your Holiday season is going well!

Show 133 Wrap-up



Thanks so much to Trauma Junkie, Scott, and Natalie for calling into Dr. A Show 133 and talking about their new podcast project called "GenMed." The idea started from a skype call and has evolved - to this point - to a newly launched GenMed Show Website. The first podcast is coming soon. To read more about what this podcast is about, I encourage you to read the post called "Announcing GenMed" on the blog "Surviving RT School."

The show was really weird in that my skype connection broke off a couple of times during the interview. And, I thought that I extended the show, but things cut off live right at 90 minutes. The conversation only carried on for another few minutes after I realized that we were not broadcasting live. As always, you can listen to the show on the player above.
