In this episode of The Real ResQ, seasoned Hoist Operator and one of my respected mentors, Pat Barber joins us to discuss lessons and experiences throughout his USCG career and beyond.  Whether the case was an overturned boat, a delirious and hypothermic patient, or a firefighter in distress. Pat talks about his mindset and processes to analyze how to better assist and prepare for the day the alarm sounds.  Pat and I reminisce and retell the story of being sent out to the disabled cruise liner that made headlines when it was stuck in the Gulf of Mexico.  Listen in to the knowledgeable and eye opening stories told by my friend, Pat Barber. Enjoy!
