Description

The Heavy Lies the Helmet® Podcast is by critical care professionals, for critical care professionals. Hosted by Mike Boone, Dan Rauh, and Dr. Amanda Humphries, we dive deep into the realities of emergency and critical care medicine. Our conversations are raw, honest, and practical — cutting through the noise to focus on real-world challenges, clinical decision-making, and the human side of high-acuity care. Whether we’re unpacking complex patient scenarios, discussing the nuances of teamwork and leadership, or highlighting the mental and emotional weight of the job, our podcast offers a space where providers can learn, connect, and feel understood. No fluff. No corporate agendas. Just real talk for real clinicians.
