In this episode Julian provides useful advice for paramedics on how to prepare for and appropriately treat a patient in traumatic cardiac arrest. This incorporates Type 1 and type 2 thinking whilst providing a 'script' to follow in these situations.

The second half of the podcast provides a powerful insight into Julian's process of talking with bereaved family members and expands on his own techniques to cope with seeing traumatic events on a daily basis.

''The powerful content of this podcast will be extremely beneficial for any prospective or current paramedic and is not only limited to those who wish to embark on a career in the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service''- S. O'Brien
