Medical Emergencies Aboard

What this episode covers

While serious medical emergencies on the Great Loop are rare—and help is usually not far away—being on a boat does mean handling situations a little differently than you would at home. In this important episode, Dr. Robert Leviton of Maritime Medicine joins us to share practical guidance on responding to common onboard medical issues, from minor concerns to more serious situations. Learn what every cruiser should know about caring for a crewmate, stabilizing a situation, and safely getting to help if needed. Whether you’re planning your Loop or already underway, this episode offers valuable knowledge that can help you cruise with greater confidence.
