In this episode of the Disaster Podcast, hosts Jamie Davis, the Podmedic and Sam Bradley are joined again by Dr. Joe Holley from Paragon Medical Education Group. The three of them pick up on a topic mentioned in last week’s episode where they were talking about the differences between Event Medicine and Disaster Medicine.


At this time of year, all over the country, there are festivals, fairs and other large scale events going on that require local resources to adjust their normal operations in order to handle the overload of patients and community needs. In this episode of the Disaster Podcast, Joe, Sam and Jamie all discuss how these cases have both similarities and differences from typical disaster responses.
