On Saturday, July 1, 2023, our host Dr. Marianne Ritchie was joined once again with the Narberth Ambulance staff to discuss emergencies that are more likely to happen during this hot, humid weather.

They discussed heat exhaustion and heat stroke, near drowning, severe sunburns, and injuries from fireworks. Narberth Ambulance offers several courses for members of the community including basic life support and CPR, as well as “Stop the Bleed” – which informs students what to do if a patient has a gunshot or knife wound.
