Getting out of Dodge - Security, Terrorism and Medicine

On this episode of the ID podcast, we sit down with Dr. Eddie Wasser, a physician who works with the Prime Minister Protection Detail and the RCMP. We talk to him about his various roles and ask him about what working with other countries to ensure appropriate healthcare available for the Prime Minister when travelling, what do the emergency medical response team do in an active shooter zone, and also what are some things that Canadians should know about their healthcare when traveling abroad.

Fact check: ABCs of trauma, which is a simple mnemonic used to guide the primary steps of responding to trauma. A, Airway maintenance, B, Breathing and Ventilation, and C, Circulation
