Welcome to Dispatched & Dysfunctional
Because sometimes the worst calls make the best stories.

This podcast isn’t about polished hero tales. It’s about the calls that leave scars, the silence after the tones drop, and the laughter that keeps us from breaking.

Some stories will make you laugh until your ribs hurt. Others will hit you like a gut punch. All of them are real.

⚠️ Listener discretion advised. These stories are graphic, emotional, and often laced with dark humor. Medical discussion is personal experience — not protocol. Always follow your local guidelines and med control.

💬 “I’d rather hear your story than read your eulogy.”

This podcast isn’t about fairy tales. It’s about real calls, real chaos, and the medics who survive both.
