Episode 65: Bringing Battlefield Care to the Street with Dr. Andrew Fisher
On this episode, Dan gets to sit down virtually with Dr. Andrew Fisher, otherwise known as “Saint” Fisher, of the Saint Fisher Church of Evidence Based Medicine. He’s been an EMT, Paramedic, PA, surgical PGY-1, Army Ranger, and author of a lot of what works in trauma care, especially in prehospital environments.
This is long episode, but there’s a TON of information…everything from tourniquets, pain management, blood vs. crystalloid, “scoop and run”, and much, much more. We also talk about education, and how The Church is looking to educate while still having a laugh or two.
