Vaso and Vibes: Nursing Thriller Podcast

“But before you leave, I do have an additional question. Two, actually. You are aware of the incident that happened between the twins when they were young?" The detective asked.“You mean the thing with the bikes when they were children? Yes, Ryan told me,” she said.“And you’re aware of what Ryan did for retaliation? His little ‘long game’? How he lured Bryan into—”“Yes, I’m aware. May I leave now?” Tamesha interrupted.She was not aware of what the detective was referring to, but again, it was none of her business. But she would always wonder.Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical, psychological, or legal advice.

Most heart attacks happen between 6:00am and noon, when there is an increased risk of a grave cardiovascular event. Bryan and Ryan were there for it. The twins did everything together. They played ice hockey in high school together, and even had the same 3.9 grade point average. So when they decided they wanted to become flight nurses, they first became EMTs (Emergency Medical Techs) while taking prerequisite courses at the community college for nursing school. On Monday, December 23, 2002 at exactly 6:02 am, two calls came into the station; both for people presumably having heart attacks. Bryan, Ryan, and their respective partners took the calls. It was settled: Bryan and Keith, his partner, would go on one call; Ryan and Tamesha, his partner, would go on the other. Loaded up and ready to go, each ambulance with their respective partnerships departed the squad bay at the exact same time.Only one of them would arrive at the hospital.Show notes, sources, & transcripts: subscribe to Vaso & Vibes on Substack.

Viktoria sees the love and closeness of the family, and wishes she had that. She also realizes: the only way to keep her nursing license in tact—and her life—is to leave. Show notes, sources, & transcripts: subscribe to Vaso & Vibes onSubstack.

In a crowded loft apartment over an accounting office lived three generations of Viktoria’s family: Dedushka (her grandfather), Babushka (her grandmother), her two older brothers, her mother, and her younger brother. Dedushka, an accountant, owns the building; it is his office downstairs. Next door, Viktoria’s uncle, Dada Dima, owned the European store and lived above it with his family: his wife and his daughter Sofia. On the same block was the boxing gym also owned by their family. Each of these establishments opened up to the back alley.Show notes, sources, & transcripts: subscribe to Vaso & Vibes on SubstackDisclaimer: This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical, psychological, or legal advice.

Monday morning is when Millie comes to C23; she always does. She brings colored pencils—freshly sharpened—coloring books, and masking tape. Claudia loves the fractal sheets. Swirling geometric patterns of leaves and nautilus shells.“Everything spirals eventually in nature; it is no less beautiful,” she says.Credits:Theme Song:“Game Day” by JMHBM, from the Free Music ArchiveIntro:"Golden” by Little Glass Men, from the Free Music Archive; no changes were made to the original track. Outro:”Lofi Soul Hip Hop Mix 3” by Ketsa from the Free Music Archive; no changes were made to the original track.Other Music:“Tense and Rising” by Free the Muses, from the Free Music ArchiveDisclaimer: This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical, psychological, or legal advice.

It’s a balmy Saturday afternoon, and a heavyset seventy-four year-old man walks into the general store. No stranger to this place, its his lifeline for morning essentials: diet cola, a “dollar scratcher” (lottery ticket), and a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit with a “touch” of mayo. Two hours later, he was dead.For episode sources, visit: Vaso & Vibes SubstackCredits: Theme Song:  “Game Day” by JMHBM, from the Free Music ArchiveIntro: “Carnival of Souls” by HoliznaCCO, from the Free Music ArchiveOther music:“Ex” by Nctrnm, from the Free Music Archive“Tense and Rising” by Free the Muses, from the Free Music ArchiveDisclaimer: This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical, psychological, or legal advice.
