Special Needs Patients In Times of Disaster from EMS World Expo 2014

expo-disaster-special-needs-screenshotThis special episode of the Disaster Podcast with Sam Bradley features special guests paramedic and mother of a special needs child, Elsie Kusel, paramedic and physician Dr. James Brasiel and paramedic and co-founder of Paragon Medical Education Group, Jim Logan.  All are experts in the handling of special needs patients and talk with Sam about the handling of these fragile patients in times of disaster or major incidents.

How we handle patients with special needs is often dictated by our available resources but for the individual EMS provider or disaster responder, these patients need careful consideration with how to approach them and understanding of each one’s individual needs. Listen to the team of experts Sam has pulled together to hear how they recommend managing this special patient population.
