    Rebuilding

    Rebuilding
    Has COVID-19 stopped the rebuilding after the bushfires? Dick Adams was a deputy police commissioner but he says he has never seen a disaster of this scale and it is his job to fix the coast. He is a recovery coordinator. His first job is to clear the remnants of razed homes and to rebuild community infrastructure. Sir Peter Cosgrove is running the business council response to the blazes. The people he has met in the Malua Bay region are "temporal saints," he says. Find out from the people you have met in this podcast what their plans are now. Who will rebuild and who is planning to move on.

    Kindness

    Kindness
    Heroes are easy to find in Malua Bay. Raj Gupta is a lifesaver. Too humble to talk about his own fire losses, he would rather talk about the patients who come to his Malua Bay pharmacy. He opened it in the wake of the fires and dispensed medicine in the dark for free. Ken Sloan is the man you would want to see if a devastating fire had just ripped through. He runs the South Coast's best opp shop near Malua Bay and on New Year's Eve morning he was following firetrucks into razed farms to give shattered survivors bottles of water. Emily Maguire has been busy giving haircuts and washes to women who have lost their homes. She sends them home with new makeup and hair products.

    Heroes

    Heroes
    Stoic fire chief Shane Fitzsimmons gave comfort to the people of Malua Bay 24 hours after the inferno. The toll of the dreadful fire season is never far when the commissioner recounts the toll of 25 deaths across the state, including six of his own men. The horror summer didn’t spare his volunteers like Steve Hillyer, a funny Australian larrikin. It's a wonder he has time to be funny, he is homeless. The volunteer firefighter spent more than 24 hours saving other people's homes only to return to his to find a pile of ash

    Ashes

    Ashes
    Former Wallaby Al Baxter was fearsome on a rugby field but on New Year’s Eve he joined more than 1000 people in a terrifying fight for life on Malua Bay beach. A whiskey in his beach bag settled his nerves to some degree after a frightening day. You will also hear from Jan Russell and how her extraordinary neighbours saved her home while she was sheltering at the beach. Herald Sun photographer Alex Coppel says he was torn, save his family’s home or take photos of the 1000-plus people sheltering from an inferno on the waterfront.

    Fear

    Fear
    Paradise is a fair description of Malua Bay before the Black Summer fires. Crystal waters lapped at pristine sand, tree lined green hills with narrow roads where hundreds of families lived in modest homes rising above the waterfront. Then, all hell broke loose on New Year’s Eve morning. In the hours-long life and death battle which followed, 90 homes were razed, and forged in the fire was an incredible spirit of mateship. The country has seen Andrew Constance’s raw emotion after the fire but now hear the harrowing account of his survival for the first time.

    S7 E4 - Saving Lives, Through Trivia

    S7 E4 - Saving Lives, Through Trivia

    This week, Hallie gets in touch with her inner EMT and prescribes six trivia questions about saving lives. We also talk about disco, American art, and Greek history.

    2:05: Q1 (Arts & Literature): David Hayes Agnew, a Pennsylvania surgeon who performed surgeries to save soldiers with gunshot wounds in the American Civil War, was the subject in the painting The Agnew Clinic by what realist painter from Philadelphia?

    10:22: Q2 (Sports & Games): What battery-operated game invented in 1964 and currently made by Hasbro, tests the players physical skills and is a variant of old-fashioned electrified wire loop games?

    14:52: Q3 (Times & Places): Hippocrates, the first documented person to practice cardiothoracic surgery, lived during what period of Athenian political hegemony named after a prominent statesman and orator of the time?

    22:54: Q4 (Music): What song by what pop group formed in 1958 by brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb provides a way for CPR teachers to teach the tempo at which to do chest compressions?  Name the group and the song.

    31:59: Q5 (Movies & TV): What medical drama series that premiered in 2005 starring Ellen Pompeo and recently began its 16th season helped a woman in Israel save her husband’s life when she performed cardiac massage, which she learned from the show?

    36:36: Q6 (Everything Else): Doing CPR by itself is unlikely to restart the heart but defibrillation can be used along with it to shock the person’s heart.  However, it only works for certain heart rhythms.  Name one of the 2 types of cardiac arrhythmias that can be shocked with a defibrillator.

    Episode 13 - Meet "The Mature Student Nurse" Rebecca

    Episode 13 - Meet "The Mature Student Nurse" Rebecca

    In this episode, Heather interviews a near and dear friend and former coworker Rebecca.  When there was a shift in the company they worked at together, Rebecca made a big life switch by changing her career focus from chemical engineering to nursing!  She has started an online presence so others can follow along with her story as she makes her way in this new journey and goes back to school after several years in corporate America.

    When she isn't learning how to save lives, she likes to spend her time exploring Los Angeles with her husband and young daughter.  Rebecca is a big advocate for exploring - and you don't have to leave your city to do it!  You don't have to buy a plane ticket to find a new, cool spot - there could be one around the corner.

    Fighter Pilot, ER Doctor, and Firefighter: the most interesting man in the world (part II)--Jason Patten

    Fighter Pilot, ER Doctor, and Firefighter: the most interesting man in the world (part II)--Jason Patten

    Minute 47:00 of this episode has a story that nearly brought a tear to my eye.  Having been deployed to combat, I've seen the incredible team effort to save lives that he talks about.  It's truly awe inspiring to see the military men and women, most under 30 years old, come together and sacrifice so that others may live.  I am confident that as long as I live, I will never see a focused team effort like I did in the mountains of Afghanistan.  It's unfortunate that war seems to be the catalyst for this cohesiveness, but for those who had the experience, it's a memory that won't be forgotten. 

    Dr. Patten may be the newest person to hold the title "Most Interesting Man in the World."  He was an F-16 fighter pilot in the Air National Guard for 10 years before going to medical school and becoming an emergency room doctor.  He has also remained a fire fighter for the Millbrook Fire Department since 2001.

    In this episode he talks about time management skills, goal setting, overcoming high pressure situations, and staying passionate.  He also shares several amazing stories along the way.

    Valuing Lives: Guide for Teen Driving

    Valuing Lives: Guide for Teen Driving
    It is basic human nature to want to have our children outlive us. As parents we nurture and raise our children to lead happy, healthy lives. Interwoven with normal human nature is the young people’s desire to be free and experiment with their newfound freedom. Testing the limits of one’s freedom is healthy as long as it does not put at risk the lives of self and others. Driving is one of those “right of passage” events that can prove challenging. When we teach our teenagers to drive as part of giving them life skills, are we also teaching them a healthy respect for the responsibility that comes with being behind the wheel? Are we teaching them how lives can change in the blink of an eye? Are we teaching them how precious each one of them are to us and how much we value their wellbeing? Are we teaching them that fun cannot come at the expense of safety? James Dean famously said “Take it easy driving. The life you save may be mine”. Are we being safe?

    S1E22: 22| From Russia with Love

    S1E22: 22| From Russia with Love

    Mikhail Tomosov is the head of the LGBTQIA+ Network in Russia and he was in Hong Kong as a guest of the Human Dignity Festival, organised by Planet Ally. Mikhail talks to us about growing up in Russia without any sex education or gay role models in the media, and how difficult that was for him as a gay teen. He shares his parents unspoken acceptance of his sexuality and the love and support he and his partner have from them. Unfortunately, repression and victimisation are prolific, and Mikhail has faced discrimination in Russia, once being fired from his job for being gay and an activist. Mikhail explains the important work that he is doing in Russia as a human rights activist, including saving the lives of gay men in Chechnya where mass detentions, torture and murders of homosexuals occur. Mikhail states that he is fighting for the rights of people to live a “normal life” in Russia and he hopes that he will see changes to attitudes and laws in his country in his life time. Mikhail is role model and an inspiration. This interview really moved me, it was both a privilege and shocking to talk to Mikhail about his vital work as an NGO in Russia.
