Can you imagine being physically assaulted at work? What if you were a nurse or medic whose day-to-day life has become a nightmare owing to the escalating workplace violence? Learn about the eye-opening statistics and narratives, like the chilling story of Captain John Arroyo who miraculously survived a shooting at his workplace. 

Did you know we are heading for a potential crisis in healthcare? Healthcare professionals are abandoning their careers due to fear of violence, assault and even death, a trend that is leading to potential hospital closures and a healthcare staff crisis. We are committed to raising awareness and propose a "call to action" to create awareness and instigate positive change. So, join us as we strive to make a difference in the lives of our brave healthcare workers and military personnel.

Nurses and Medics: This is your platform! We want to hear your stories of the good, the bad and the ugly. Send us an email at [email protected]


Do you know a health worker that needs a laugh?

Bullets 2 Bedpans

Welcome to Bullets 2 Bedpans—where military nurses and medics let it rip. Hosted by the brutally honest and sometimes inappropriate trio Dee Tox, MZ, and Leslie, this podcast is a safe space to speak freely, vent loudly, and laugh at the stuff that would make civilians run for cover.

We’re talking real-deal war stories from the bedside and the battlefield. The good, the bad, the ugly—and the "what the hell just happened?!" No topic is off-limits. Mental health, burnout, leadership failures, bowel blowouts—if it happened, it’s fair game.

And yes, there’s cursing. There’s chaos. There’s dark humor you probably shouldn't repeat at brunch. But there’s also truth, heart, and connection behind every wild ride.

⚠️ Warning: At times some of the topics can be full of sensitive content so be sure to read the show notes. So Strap in. This is the medicine you didn’t know you needed.

Welcome to Bullets 2 Bedpans. Let’s get weird.
