Johnathon “Nektarios” Miranda is a U.S. Army National Guard combat medic (68W), nationally registered EMT, and EMT instructor with three years of operational field experience and more than 2,000 students trained. He graduated top three in his 100-student EMT class and ranked in the top 10 of more than 300 combat medics during Advanced Individual Training’s “Whiskey Phase.”
He’s worked across civilian EMS, military medical units, and high-risk event medicine, with experience in trauma care, hemorrhage control, search and rescue, wilderness medicine, and tactical operations. He holds 30+ medical and operational certifications, including continuing education through Harvard Medical School, plus additional certifications from Harvard, Stanford, and Yale.
His writing challenges complacency in emergency medicine and bridges civilian EMS and combat care—grounded in real-world experience, not theory.
