Description

When deadly outbreaks erupt, most people think about hospitals, governments, or the military response.

Few think about the pilots, medics, and crews tasked with flying directly into the crisis.

In this episode, I'm joined by former paramedic, journalist, and award-winning author Kevin Hazzard to discuss his gripping book No One Is Coming.

The book tells the remarkable story of Phoenix Air, the small Georgia-based aviation company that carried out the unprecedented air evacuation of Ebola patients during the West African Ebola epidemic.

This conversation explores emergency medicine, aviation, global crisis response, fear, logistics, and the extraordinary people willing to go where others won't.
