THAT OTHERS MAY LIVE

This is an incredibly informative (and entertaining) podcast about one of the more unusual (like many other) PJ deployments. In this case it was to support the most critically hit NYC hospital that made national news, and the brave Doctors, Nurses, techs and staff showing up every day not fully knowing the risk they were taking, and if the protective gear was going to work, and then in most cases going home to their families.

We will hit on prepping the battlefield, PFC, critical care, and highlight the "FID" type response to support the NY ("indig") medical providers in a war with a new enemy that we are still learning how to battle.
