uring medical emergencies. In 90% of medical emergencies being emergency prepared reduces future complications and financial hassles. The complete focus is on two periods of time in case of emergency:
“Golden Hour” this period in which emergency treatment and evacuation to a more capable medical facility can quite literally make the difference between life and death for the patients.
