Episode 333: Ritu Sahni

Episode 333: Ritu Sahni: Don't be surprised if this episode starts somewhere you weren't expecting. Steve welcomes Dr. Ritu Sahni for an entertaining conversation that begins far away from ambulances and emergency departments. Before diving into EMS, Dr. Sahni shares stories from his unexpected career as a DJ, sports play-by-play announcer, television and movie extra, including appearances in the TV series Leverage and the baseball comedy Major League II. Also listen for the story of Dr. Sahni running an EMS call with Randolph Mantooth. Eventually, the conversation finds its way back to EMS as Dr. Sahni reflects on choosing emergency medicine, his journey into EMS medical direction, his years in Pittsburgh, and his current role as EMS Medical Director in Oregon. Along the way, he shares insights and the value of building strong relationships. This episode is less about protocols and more about getting to know the person behind the physician. It's a fun, relaxed conversation filled with stories, laughter, and a reminder that every career has an unexpected path.  Dr. Sahni will be returning to Medic2Medic for a future episode to dive deeper into EMS leadership, medical direction, and the future of prehospital care.
