What would you do if you were deep in the wilderness — no cell service, no hospital — and someone was seriously ill or injured? In our latest episode of What's Right With Healthcare, we explore the evolving world of Wilderness Medicine — the art and science of providing medical care in the most remote, extreme, and unpredictable environments. From high altitudes to open oceans, scorching heat to freezing cold, we’ll dive into how medical professionals and others are trained to respond in challenging conditions without luxuries like X-rays, labs, or even a working phone. Whether it’s a broken bone, a severe allergic reaction, or a life-threatening illness far from the ER — Wilderness Medicine skills can save lives… maybe even your own. Join me and Robin Larson at NOLS to find out why Wildnerness Medicine is what's right with healthcare.
