The Master Class Field Guide, protocol tests, EKG drills, and deep-dive manuals for paramedic interns and anyone else who works out of a rig. Plain science first, then an analogy you will remember at 3 a.m.
Everything on the site is free. Here is where to begin, depending on why you are here.
A review for every shift of the internship: a Den Sessions episode, a notebook to chat with, and a printable shift plan. Start at Shift 01.
Grab the field guides and cards, then take the quizzes and play Feed the Bear to see what stuck.

The Bearamedics podcast. Shift briefings for paramedic interns and deep dives on the field guides, made for the drive in or between calls.
The people who came through the Den, the crews who work out of it now, and the bear family that keeps the material honest.
Former interns who earned their spot on the wall, and the current crews who keep the lights on.
A family of bears is called a sleuth. I need mine to read new material before it gets posted and tell me where it falls apart. No medical license required.
Printed and shipped by Sticker Mule. Here are four favorites. The full store has stickers, shirts, hoodies, and hats.
Bearamedics is the work of Thomas Moore, EMT-P, a paramedic and field training officer on California's central coast. He precepts paramedic interns and got tired of study material that read like it was written by someone who had never run a call.
Every piece follows the same rule. State the real pathophysiology accurately, cite where it came from, then explain it the way you would to your partner on the drive back to quarters.
Off the clock, he trades the chaos of the rig and precepting for the chaos of raising four cubs with his wife, Kailee, an EMT who still works the field.
If these materials made your shift or your internship easier and you want to help cover the domain, hosting, or a cup of station coffee, you can do that on Venmo. Never expected, always appreciated.

Feral and Free (EMS Cut)
By Bearamedix. Loud guitars, gallows humor. Press play at your own risk.
Verse 1
I was born in the back of a rig in the rain
With a radio screaming and a patient in pain
I grew up on monsters and gas station trash
With a lifting technique that'll ruin my back
I've seen the worst that a city can show
From the high-rise lost to the gutters below
And I don't need a bed, I don't need a home
Just a box with some lights where the wild things roam
Chorus
I am feral and free! woo!
Like a stray at a scene with a level three
I'm a trauma junkie baby can't you see
I'm just feral and free! woo!
And I'll ride this unit 'til the wheels fall off
Through the midnight rain and the smoke and cough
No dispatcher's gonna break my knee
I'm living feral and free
Verse 2
I've forgotten what it's like to sleep in a bed
I got siren rhythm stuck in my head
The smell of the diesel, the bleach on my gloves
This is the life that a madman loves
We're the kings of the curb and the queens of the bay
Finding humor in things you shouldn't say
You can keep your desk and your nine to five
I need a code three run to feel alive
Chorus
I am feral and free! woo!
Like a tech on a double in the NYC
I'm a caffeine crashing cardiac spree
I'm just feral and free! woo!
And I'll ride this unit 'til the wheels fall off
Through the vomit, the grit, and the hacking cough
No QI officer's gonna catch me
I'm living feral and free
Bridge
And if I die before I clear
Just leave a cold one and a bitter beer
Scatter my ashes on the station floor
Then tones go off and we're out the door
Chorus
Feral and free! woo!
Yeah we're burning out but we're doing it fast
Feral and free! woo!
Roads clear and back in the chaotic grease
Feral and free
