Survival Doctors

11/03/2025

After a long stretch of shifts, I realized something unsettling—I hadn’t seen daylight in five days.

I’d wake up before sunrise, step into the hospital, and by the time I finished my shift, the sun had already set. Trapped in a windowless room, saving lives when I could, but mostly watching people suffer from problems that ran deeper than any treatment I could offer.

And it hit me… I was stuck in a hamster wheel.

Yes, I help people in the ER. But too often, I see preventable emergencies—families blindsided by crises they weren’t prepared for. And no matter how hard I work, I can’t fix that from inside the hospital.

Have you ever felt like you’re living the same day over and over, knowing you’re meant for something bigger?

I started this journey to save lives in the harshest conditions. I’ve done that. But now, I want to make a bigger impact—by helping parents and families take control of their own medical preparedness before it’s too late.

So let me ask you: What emergency keeps you up at night?

If you have a family you want to protect, reply and tell me. Let’s get you ready.

And if you know a prepared mom or dad who needs this, share this with them.

This phone call made my day...
Cardiac arrest doesn't just happen to the elderly, someone you care about can litterally drop dead in front of you.
I'm glad this family was litterally on our doorsteps when their son arrested but a few moments too late would have drastically changed his outcomes.
