We Carry the Fire

Mark Shapiro from Explore the Space Show Podcast will host a reflective debrief of the lessons, clinical, logistical and human, from the impact of devastating bush fires (or ‘wildfires’ for our Northern neighbours). This session will look at the other type of ‘sustainable’ health care. As Mark puts it from his experience in two horrific wildfires in Northern California in two years, ‘how we hold the line’. As the short-attentioned news cycle will have likely moved on to the next click-bait item, we want to keep carrying the fire, keep looking at recovery and try to understand if we might just avoid this in the future.
