9 NOV 2025 · In this powerful episode of Medic2Medic, two remarkable survivors, Jim Hallett and John Storm, who both suffered sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrests and live to tell their stories.
Jim, a lifelong Washingtonian and respected community leader, and John, a retired IT executive and avid mountaineer, share their deeply personal journeys from the moment their hearts stopped to the moment they stood again. Both men survived thanks to the Whatcom County EMS System, early CPR, and the seamless teamwork between bystanders, first responders, and hospital staff.
Jim and John remind us that behind every EMS call are real people, families, and communities, and that every trained responder, every AED, and every compassionate hand matters.

30 SEP 2025 · As I dust off the mic and line up new guests for the long-awaited reboot of Medic2Medic, I thought it’d be fun to share a little “blast from the past” to get us warmed up.
This bonus episode features Randolph Mantooth—yes, that Randolph Mantooth—who continues to hold the crown as my most-listened-to guest of all time. This conversation was Episode 30, back in the days when the podcast had no theme music, and I had plenty of nerves (you’ll probably hear them sneaking through). Spoiler: Randy carried me through like the pro he is.
Enjoy this classic episode while we get ready for fresh stories, new voices, and the next chapter of Medic2Medic. The nerves may be gone now… but sadly, the theme music still isn’t here.
