iRescueRadio

During a summer hiatus of about three weeks, we decided it was time to retool the show. What we had, while good, was starting to get into nothing but politics, without rescue or health included. I, as the producer, recommended finding the last week’s health and medical press releases. It would have been this week in health. That format, however, has been shelved for now, as we wanted to try something different. Instead, they are going to look at a positive comment, a negative comment and then a good question, training or otherwise, from the last week that a lot of people would like to know the answer to.

It makes for a shorter episode of about 22 minutes.

This week’s episode of iRescueRadio covers a string of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Attacks that have occurred lately, followed by a discussion of virtual doctor appointments.

After those conversations comes a discussion of a website where you can compare statistics at each of the hospitals across the country.

This week’s puzzler covers a what would you do, regarding CPR on any soft surface like a bed.
