10 years ago today, I experienced a bomb scene. I discovered every first aid & disaster course is incomplete. I am committed to amplifying the most-overlooked, most-important interval that could improve patient care. It is time to optimize improvised care in the #disastergap.

Klar: Es ist die zu dem Zeitpunkt einzig bekannte Information, und es ist eine gesellschaftlich bedeutende Information, gehen mit dem Geschlecht doch zahlreiche Vorstellungen, Erwartungen und Zuschreibungen einher. (3/x)
