MedicCast Episode 492
Good day and welcome to this week’s episode of the MedicCast. I’m your host, Jamie Davis the Podmedic and I’d like to welcome you to this week’s show. This week on the show we continue our discussion about the very real trauma suffered by all providers in and out of the hospital when encountering mass casualty incidents and other traumatic events.
This is part two of a two-part episode where I have critical incident stress expert Dan McGuire from CISM Perspectives on the show to talk about the advice he’s giving to the hospital staff and responders in the Orlando nightclub shooting that happened last week. That is coming up later on in the second part of a two-part episode we started last week here on the MedicCast.
