Ep. #14 Joe Connelly Talks About *NYC Medics Global Disaster Relief

January 31, 2019 Chris R. Medic Up!

Part 2 of my conversation with author Joe Connelly as he tells me what it is like operating a Trauma Stabilization Point (TSP) in Iraq during the Battle of Mosul in 2016/2017 as part of NYC Medics Global Disaster Relief. Joe is a founding member of *NYC Medics. “*NYC Medics rapidly deploys mobile medical teams to remote areas of disaster zones and humanitarian emergencies, providing the highest level of medical care to those who otherwise would not have access to aid and relief efforts.” Listen as he describes the humble beginnings of the organization 2005 all the way to present day providing care as a civilian in a war zone.

Medic Up! Episode #8 – Clardy & Me: 2 Medics Talking – Part 1

Medic Up! Episode #8 – Clardy & Me: 2 Medics Talking – Part 1

EXACTLY 366 days since the last episode was uploaded!!!

Welcome back everyone to the Medic Up! Podcast. We took a little break there for a minute. A “hiatus” if you will. Just over 365 days since the last episode was posted. But guess what we’re back. I’d like to take a second to thank all of the local boys and girls who, over this past year, have diligently asked, “When are you going to post another episode?” Also the messages via text and social media I’ve gotten as well. Thank you all for the support, encouragement and your patience!

So, if you’ve just been filling the hours listening to other podcasts over this last year, just waiting with baited breath for the next episode of Medic Up! to show up on your podcast app, well, you dont have to wait any longer because here it is!

My good friend, “Clardy” is sitting across from me today and I’ve been waiting a long time for this to happen. We planned this over a year ago but you know it goes; people get busy, life gets in the way and before you know it, it’s 1 year later. But, here we are and this is happening now. I struggled with a theme for this but deep down I think I knew where we would end up. This is just 2 medics talking. Just like what happens when you put 2 or medics in station/post/ambulance/squad etc. They start shootin’ the shit, telling war stories, reminiscing about how it “used to be” how they came up and what keeps them going. THAT my friends is this episode.

There are a lot of names used in this episode. So many, I probably need to get release forms. I kinda wimped out and edited out a few last names only because I really didn’t know how each person would react. It’s just 2 medics talking. Talking about people, the past, the future the good the bad coming up in the job, where the job is going. We’ll talk about Clardy’s gameballs and a few other things that crossed our minds. We talked for 2/12 hrs. So this is a 2 parter. So here it is:

2 Medics Talking About Starting out, Coming Up, Gameballs and Clardy’s Dad Calls the Pope.
