  • Love the stories but…

    … audio is hard to listen to. It’s hard to understand the guests. Hope you can get a recording device that does better with phone calls.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sepsis in the Wild
Q: So, I guess hour-wise, how long was it after you got scratched up before you started to see some symptoms?
Jeff estimates that it was about 12 hours after the scratches occurred that he began to feel unusually ill.
Sepsis in the Wild
Q: Did the doctors, did they tell you this has happened before?
Jeff does not recall any other instances of similar infections happening to other hunters or hikers, though he acknowledges that it could be a possibility.
Spider Bite
Q: Did the medical team give you any sort of advice or did they just think the antibiotics they give you were going to cover it?
Initially, the urgent care doctor didn't consider it a spider bite but after further examination and a photo sent to the clinic, they confirmed it and emphasized the importance of taking the full course of antibiotics.
Spider Bite
Q: So I guess what's the aftermath now? How long did it take for the wound to heal up and for the symptoms to completely go away?
Jeff experienced body aches for a few days but noted that the dead skin had vanished, leaving only a red mark that resembled a carpet burn.
Crossbow Safety
Q: What was your first thought immediately after it happened?
Shock immediately set in as Jeff realized the extent of the injury to his thumb and knew he needed to act quickly to stop the bleeding.
