September is National Preparedness Month. So, we can think of no better time to republish one of our favorite episodes entitled, "We Don't Have to Live in Fear." It's all about the Stop The Bleed program. The idea behind Stop The Bleed is to help bystanders with no medical training to actually help save a life when an emergency strikes and everything is a matter of life and death. As Bloodworks 101 producer John Yeager found out, while Stop The Bleed seeks to save lives, it also gives those who take the course, the empowerment it takes to run towards an emergency when everyone else is running away.
