Episode 7: Stress & Moral Injury with Brenton Queen Nov 25, 2018

Wilderness medicine is exciting and inspiring, but it can also imperil our emotional well-being in big ways. We talk with mental health expert Brenton Queen, who works with responders in his capacity as a licensed counselor specializing in coaching, conflict, and stress.

Episode 6: Orange Man Must Die Jul 01, 2018

Show notes

They way you were taught to recognize heat stroke is probably wrong, and the way you were taught to treat it is probably wrong, too. Forget the IV fluids, toss aside the cold packs, and hunker down for a stay & play scene. We're joined by Tod Schimelpfenig from NOLS Wilderness Medicine and emergency/sports medicine expert Tim Durkin, DO to talk about all of this, and why Orange Man (you've seen him) must die.
