#159 - Staying Calm in Bodily Injury Crisis with EMT Rich Holzman
Learnings from an EMT.
This episode is dedicated to all of the first responders: all of the dispatchers who receive 911 calls, all of the firefighters, EMTs and paramedics and other personnel who dedicate years of their life to training and then go on to be that cool head in a very fast-paced moment of crisis, some of which have life-or-death outcomes. We rely so much on all of these individuals, and also for the systems that work together to make the time between the emergency call and the response as quick as possible. In this episode, Rich Holzman draws on over 25 years of experience as a first responder, firefighter and asst Chief to give us an inside look at the procedures that go into emergency response. Here we go.
In this episode:
Rich Holzman, the retired Assistant Chief of the Montgomery County Fire Department in Maryland, with over 25 years of service in the field. Rich was also Archer’s baseball coach in grade school and middle school.
