The Official Podcast of a Leading Trauma Surgeon and Tactical Physician

In the first five minutes after a gunshot, stabbing, car crash, or active shooter, most people wait for help to arrive.

Dr. Alexander Eastman has spent more than twenty years working to make sure people get the help they need in the moments that matter most. He is a former trauma surgeon at Parkland Memorial Hospital, a Dallas Police Lieutenant and Chief Medical Officer, and a Senior Medical Officer with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. He also helped lead the Stop the Bleed movement, which has trained millions of people across the country to save a life before emergency crews arrive.

Dr. Eastman guides you through the initial critical minutes of a traumatic injury in every show. Those are based upon actual calls, actual patients and actual decision-making in the street, ER or command center. It's a simple mission - share the truth about what works to save a person's life. Not political. Not dramatic. Just knowledge that you can apply as well.

Whether you work in healthcare, serve as a first responder, or simply want to be ready to help a stranger, this podcast gives you the confidence and skills to act when seconds count.

Anyone can help save a life. You just need to know what to do and be ready to act.
