In EP 69, Dr. Pik Mukherji talks about reflex packages — highly trained, rapidly and reliably deployable skill sets that are designed to cover the first moments of a emergency situation like a seizing patient or an asthma attack. There’s a strong similarity to what Dr. Kevin Lunney talked about in EP 58 with “object oriented” emergency response. How do we build these reflex packages? How do we train them? How do we evaluate them? How do we know when to drop them and do something else instead?
Something you want to see? Idea for a future thing to dig into? Hit reply and let me know what you’re thinking.
Keep training, and good luck out there!
