🎙️ Episode Title: The Rules of Three: Gas, a Corpse, and a Machete

🩺 Summary: A routine wellness check spirals into chaos — one decomposing body, one armed family member, and one patient actively seizing in our care. Three emergencies, zero prep, and a call that left its mark.

📌 Why It Matters: Even “simple” calls can flip into full-blown disasters. This one proved that being BLS doesn't mean basic — it means being first in and holding it all together until help arrives.
