Caring for the Injured/Dealing with Death
Patient care in a wilderness environment has led to some real challenges over the course of my career, dealing with all that nature adds to an already challenging task, both physically and emotionally. Using scores of cases I've dealt with, I share skills I've gleaned while in the thick of keeping someone alive, and the daunting task of dealing with those lost.
