Chris and Mark talk about strokes! They cover everything from bleeds to blockage and how to fix it all. An important message about how to recognize a stroke is also delivered.

Chris then celebrated Mark's usage of big words.
Mark and Chris discuss the ins and outs of the Incident Command System, a system developed to help emergency personnel deal with resource intensive incidents, such as disasters, terrorist activity and mass shootings. Also, Chris forgets to edit out a full bodied deep belch, and the episode is probably better for it.
