    When a simple home health visit turns into a life-or-death crisis, trusting your training can make all the difference. Jennifer Seager, a physical therapist assistant with a decade of experience, shares a gripping firsthand account of a medical emergency that changed her forever, and offers vital lessons for every healthcare worker navigating the unpredictability of patient care. In this episode, Jennifer recounts how a routine session turned into a cardiac arrest, and how CPR, instinct, and preparation helped her respond in the moment.

    Angela speaks about when her home health visit turned violent

    Home health isn’t always predictable,and sometimes, things can flip in seconds. Angela’s story of navigating a volatile situation with a patient armed and threatening is a tough reminder: always know your exits, stay calm, and prioritize your safety. Whether it’s a gun in the home or locked doors you can’t escape through, preparation can make all the difference. This isn’t meant to scare,it's about empowering you to recognize warning signs before things escalate. Remember: trust your instincts, assess the environment, and always plan your escape routes. Your safety comes first, always.
