In this week’s episode of the Medical Media Mixer Podcast, we set sail with the TV series Dr. Odyssey 📺—a medical drama set on the high seas. Beyond the drama, it opens the door to a fascinating discussion about cruise ship medical care and what happens when a medical emergency requires evacuation.
We discuss: ✅ How cruise ship medical facilities operate ⚓️ ✅ Common conditions treated onboard 🏥 ✅ Medical regulations for passenger safety 🚢 ✅ How patient transport and evacuation off a ship really works 🛳️ ✅ And yes… Joshua Jackson—Were you team Dawson 🧒 or team Pacey 👦🏻?
To keep the theme refreshing, we’re sipping on a Virgin Sea Breeze Cocktail 🌊—a bright, ocean-inspired mocktail that’s perfect for smooth sailing.
