I’m Matthew Heneghan — a Canadian veteran and former paramedic. I’ve seen what happens when things go wrong — in people, in systems, and in real life.

Last Summer 24.04.2021

This episode contains a blog read from my most recent blog post over at amedicsmind.com. As the days get longer and the heated days of summer approach, being back home in B.C., I can't help but to ruminate just a little bit. This was one of the funniest stories that I have ever had the privilege of recording for the podcast. I hope you enjoy it. If you like my work and would like to support me and...

Media, Depression, and Some Rambling! 30.03.2021

On this episode I may ramble a bit. But, I hope that my overall message comes through - sometimes, it's okay to not be okay - but we have to reach out for help, and it is imperative that we focus on the root causes of issues at hand - not just the symptoms. Don't forget, you can message me right here on Anchor using the "message" button located on screen! If you like my work and would like to supp...

THIS IS 200!!! (Not Really) 23.03.2021

On this 200th episode of the A Medic's Mind podcast, I delve into how grateful I am to be here at this milestone.

Uh-Oh, Politics 2... Kind of... 02.03.2021

It was a bit of a gamble to release the podcast episode I did last week, but my intent was always to release them as a two-parter.

Uh-oh, Politics! 24.02.2021

Oh no! What the hell am I doing?! Don't worry; this is not as bad as it sounds and it's likely (hopefully) a topic that we will not have to revisit anytime soon. This is, however, likely to stir some debate - and that's fine! Debate is healthy. In fact, that's part of what I talk about in this episode. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it or at the very least, come away with something from it.  Cheers. If...

The Word 09.02.2021

This is episode 194 of the A Medic's Mind Podcast. On this episode I discuss my thoughts and feelings about how words can have a distinct power over us.

Not On Christmas 20.11.2020

I know, I know... a little early, but this isn't exactly a traditional holiday themed post; bear with me.

Take care of you first!

Remembrance 12.11.2020

A day late but better to be late that not at all; this is my remembrance episode. Yesterday was Remembrance Day, and that always comes with a unique set of feelings and emotions for me.
