"Protect Me" - Flights Case 4
Welcome to the Fourth Case in our Air Care and Mobile Care Flight Orientation Curriculum for 2016!

We spend these last few weeks balancing the excitement of our transitions and the purpose of our job: somewhere between the hustle and noise of B Pod, there is a critical illness waiting to be found, #beneaththesurface.
