Emergency Medicine with Josh McConkey

The life of an emergency room doctor is often deified in modern media, alongside excess personal drama and absurd procedures in obscure locations. That's not to say it's ever boring, but it's seldom portrayed well.  Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.  My guest today is Josh McConkey. With a medical doctorate, a professorial background at a prestigious university, being an award winning author, and carrying a military rank, I'm at a loss for what title I use for Josh. We talk about the differences between academic medicine, how the job actually works when everything goes wrong in an ER, and the hefty differences faced by those deployed in active war zones. ( Www.WeightBehindTheSpear.Com )  ( https://a.co/d/4g2zV6w will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "Be The Weight Behind The Spear" )    Let's thank our hard working doctors.   I'm probably going to attempt an episode with all the healthcare people I know just sharing our wildest stories. Would that be fun for you all? Let me know in the comments.  In other news... December is officially here, and the new ranking are as follows:  1. The United States, with Nevada, Texas, and New Jersey off to a great start.  2. The United Kingdom, with England and Scotland all tied up.  3. Ghana, making their numbers known.  4. Canada, with Ontario at the head.  5. Ireland, just barely beating Australia.  That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!  Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.  Reach out to DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or on any social media if you want to reach me personally.  Most importantly, Stay Dumb!
