Wilderness Medicine ft. Dan Taylor

In this episode, host Prescott Nadeau speaks with Remote Paramedic Daniel Taylor on the world of wilderness medicine and the associated challenges.   

Dan defines the difference between wilderness, austere and remote medcine. We nerd out on gear and equipment while referencing how it applies to the urban, suburban and remote provider.   

Dan dives into the acronym MARCH PAWS and RTHP (Ruck, Truck, House, Plane)  We wrap up with a discussion on becoming a physician extender in the need for rock solid communication (as much as can be accomplished).  

This was a great conversation with a storied paramedic who has lived some pretty wild and incredible adventures. Want to learn more? Tons of resources below:
