Excellant presentation
This was the perfect mix of entertainment and education. I really felt that the Continuing Ed was an added bonus to the edutainment. I listened to this while I was on the treadmill and went an extra half hour because I lost track of the time. So not only did I improve my knowledge in EMS I improved my cardio workout. Also for me it adds to the approachability of our EMS leadership. Overall I must say I will be subscribing.
