Moderator: William A. Knight IV, MD, FACEP, FNCS
Other Participants: Jason T. McMullan, MD, MS, FAEMS

Once a stroke is suspected in the field, it stands to reason that the destination matters for the patient. But how much does it matter and where should patients be taken? Data meets politics in this compelling podcast.

Dr. Jason McMullan, an Emergency Medicine and EMS expert shares his expertise and experience in the diagnosis and transport of stroke patients from the field to the ED. Drawing on years of experience, he talks with Dr. Bill Knight about the nuances of stroke management in the field, training and transport and the challenges that exist to do it well.
