A Physical Health Rundown with the founder of RGX Medical

It's been almost 15 years since Richard Gottlieb aka Wolverine found himself working in the festival medical space. It was a passion for people that brought him here. We get to know Wolverine a bit for the first half hour of the show before getting into a quick and dirty primer on this year's big buzz: Narcan. The final third of the conversation gets into various physical health and safety notes including hydration, drug interactions, and the importance of washing our hands. Spoiler alert: There are no magic pills. Closing set by Pumpkin.

Or if you just can't even do four minutes, this one is amazing and it's a minute. Wolverine notes that this one is a bit dated as we normies aren't supposed to check for breath anymore: youtube.com/watch?v=T4hkwKhbIgc

Final note: Wolverine highly recommends everyone take a basic first aid class: redcross.org/take-a-class/first-aid
