We give an update on Mikey from SD fish and Sips. We talk a little about another lifeguard podcast and a Dr. Andrew Schmidt who really knows his stuff when it comes to the importance of the lifeguard link in the EMS chain. Lui almost died on a boat in big surf and we revisit a drowning from a summer camp that rocked California in 2005.
Sorry for the audio on this one. Cant seem to figure out how to keep the life recording quality consistent.
