In this week’s episode of iRescueRadio, we discuss the Somali Pirates in the Gulf of Aden. We discuss provisions that are being created to help repel pirates, including non-lethal weaponry.
The Hot Topic this week is about the nurse that was called out of surgery only to find she’s been fired. What does this say about the state of the health care system in the country?
For what the heck would you do, we have a scenario dealing with figuring out the diagnoses of a patient with only hearing what the patient is saying. We also talk about how to proceed in the diagnoses based on the variables that we’ve identified.
