    Pool/Water Safety - A Child's Life Depends On It

    In this episode, we continue to utilize the American Academy of Pediatrics to educate ourselves on pool safety.

Protecting and preventing drownings takes multiple layers of protection and means maintaining a vigilant eye at all times. I also share a story of a recent patient I cared for in the ICU after drowning.
