These two guests are partners: a flight medic and a flight nurse. They dig into their relationship in a way that will make the listener think about their own role as a partner. We also have a chance to hear the flight medic reflect on a near-miss with a medication error, what he wished he had learned more about in paramedic school, why he isn't a firefighter and a wide range of other topics. The listener will quickly hear what I heard: These two partners are the perfect yin-yang. She's spirited and animated. He's calm and steady. Together, they have each others' backs.
