In this episode, Conrad Weaver talks with Dr. Marvin Wayne, a trauma surgeon, Vietnam veteran, and internationally recognized EMS leader. Dr. Wayne shares his remarkable journey—from growing up in Detroit, navigating rejection on his way to medical school, and serving as a combat surgeon in Vietnam, to becoming a pioneer in emergency medicine and a global advocate for EMS advancement.

Listeners will hear Dr. Wayne’s deeply personal reflections on loss, trauma, resilience, and the hidden scars of war, as well as his candid thoughts on today’s challenges facing EMS. He discusses the importance of wellness, the struggle to recruit and retain first responders, and why it’s okay for medical professionals to admit vulnerability.

This powerful conversation reminds us that while medicine saves lives, community and compassion sustain the healers.
