Ep. #13: Paramedicine, ER stories, Critical Care, & Humanity w/ Katherine Hambleton (RN, AEMCA)
In this episode, Katherine and I have a great conversation on a variety of topics regarding, and relating to, the medical and paramedical field. We also hear about some of Katherine’s most interesting stories from the Emergency Room (ER), things getting stuck in places they shouldn’t be, surgery, the amazing structures and functionality of the human body. We go on to discuss dealing with critical care situations, medical advancements, death and dying, and the current situation with covid and vaccination rollouts. Hope you enjoy listening!
