Customer Reviews
What a powerful interview!!
I’ve been an AHA CPR Instructor (in a healthcare setting) for almost 15 years and I love this interview! I had to listen to it twice because there are SO MANY great takeaways in here. Dr. Bigham gave us such valuable information on a topic that is not discussed enough. His expertise and years of experience as a paramedic is just awesome. You can feel his compassion and a real love for what he does. Thank you for this interview on such an important subject! Goodness, I didn’t expect to be in tears after this episode! Great interview!
