Show notes

Imagine finding your spouse with a gun. You're shocked and confused and before you can ask what is going on, you hear a shot. Your spouse falls from a self-inflicted gun shot to the chest. Now imagine you're 9-1-1 giving the caller CPR instructions and encouraging them to ignore the cracking ribs... This is what it's like, within the trenches.
