#101 - Trenches, Tourniquets, And Rocket Strikes: How This Paramedic Was On The Ukraine Front Lines w/Gio "Doc" Roman

He volunteered for someone else’s war.

A Kornet rocket hit his truck.

He survived — and came home blind in one eye.

Episode 101 of The Wild Chaos Podcast features Gio Roman — Marine reservist, Navy Corpsman, LA ER paramedic, and volunteer combat medic in Ukraine.

We go from mass casualty incidents in Los Angeles to modern trench warfare against Russian forces. Gio shares firsthand insight into drones dominating the battlefield, night assaults, PKM machine gun fire, white phosphorus, and dragging wounded soldiers under incoming artillery.

On Valentine’s Day, a Kornet anti-tank missile struck his vehicle. Gio woke up covered in blood, survived a second rocket strike, lost an eye, and flew home with a brain bleed — without formal orders, without VA support, and without fanfare.

We break down:

• Modern battlefield medicine

• Stop the Bleed and tourniquet training

• Drone warfare realities

• The cost of volunteering in foreign conflicts

• PTSD triggers and civilian reintegration

• Faith, recovery, and rebuilding purpose

If you care about emergency medicine, Ukraine war updates, combat medic training, resilience, preparedness, and what modern warfare really looks like — this episode is essential.
