Pre-Hospital Care

Education


In this episode we interview Matt Masson ex-extreme sports and ski instructor. In November 2011 Matt sustained a life changing head injury when he fell 26 ft through a plastic roof onto his head. He has had to re-build his life completely from re-learning to talk, to walk, to ski amongst many other things. Matt's inspirational story is a true testament to his mental determination, engagement with rehabilitation and timely pre-hospital care. His story and YouTube video can be found here: https://www.thewobblyjourno.com and https://youtu.be/xnJExrygdSk We re-unite him with Mike Nolan  the Flight Paramedic on the night (a friend and colleague) who walks him through his injury load, the sequential interventions and his initial presentation on the night. Matt is just about to release his first book together with his Mother titled 'Road to the top of the mountain'. Please enjoy this truly inspirational story told in first person. Our thanks also goes out to the Nurse liaison team at the Royal London Hospital that initially put both Mike and Matt in contact.
