In this week's #podcast Aebhric OKelly talks with Francois Duquette, a #Quebec nurse who shares his unique experiences working in remote northern communities.
He discusses the challenges of providing #emergency care without immediate physician support, adapting nursing practices, and using technology like point-of-care ultrasound in austere environments.
