ABOUT THE GUEST

D.D. Finder is a former Flight and ICU Nurse, EMT-Basic, and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer who has worked in healthcare for over 20 years. Due to extreme sleep deprivation and a hostile work environment, DD left critical and emergency care medicine to continue his nursing career in Intervention Radiology. His love and deep respect for first responders and nurses drove him to publish a novel showcasing their intelligence, sacrifice, and compassion for a job he once dedicated his life to.
