What should I do if there's suddenly an emergency? A child falling into a swimming pool, someone having a seizure or heart attack, or an accident...? Do I have my area's EMS phone numbers, or the nearest ambulance service? Do I know CPR? What about medical aid info? These aspects could be the crucial seconds we need to save someone's life. In this fascinating episode we are joined by two experienced Paramedics, Wayne Broodryk & Brandon Botha, from Altor EMS, to talk about the most important Tips to remember during an Emergency.
