Sometimes the hardest part is the waiting. When our team is dispatched to a scene where a man who does not speak English is trapped inside a confined space with possible crush injuries, hypothermia and hyperkalemia, they must wait for him to be extricated. How do you stand that interminable time? How do you stay ready? And then how do you switch from inaction to action once it’s time? Our team tackles yet another unique case in this month’s episode. We’re joined by Nissa Hattaway, Flight Nurse BA, BSN, RN, CEN, CPEN, CFRN and Justin Brown, Flight Paramedic NREMT-P.
