TikTok star Jimmy Apple is challenging EMS dogma with data and kindness

How the pediatric critical‑care paramedic turns short‑form content into clinical clarity

Sponsored by

This week on the Inside EMS podcast, host Kelly Grayson sits down with Jimmy Apple — known as the “EMS Avenger” on TikTok — to explore how he’s challenging long‑standing EMS norms and delivering evidence‑based content at scale. With 22 years in EMS, the pediatric critical‑care paramedic has built a strong digital platform that merges clinical rigor with plain‑spoken commentary.

Whether you’re hung up on “what’s new” or “what really works,” this episode offers a spirited discussion, thoughtful commentary and a call to re‑examine what we do — and why.

Memorable takeaways

  • “What we learn tends to define who we are as a provider, particularly when the information was learned during our formative years.”
  • “I don’t want to have to spend my time defending a personal position. I would rather talk about how we can guide ourselves based on what we are actually seeing with data that is as objective as we can get it.”
