ZERT Coffee & Chaos 134 – When Seconds Count: Why Medical Training Matters

In this episode, we sit down with Marco from Med-Tac International to talk about one of the most overlooked aspects of preparedness—medical training and carrying the right gear. We dig into why having the knowledge and equipment can mean the difference between life and death in everyday emergencies, from accidents at home to unexpected crises in public.

But we also face a hard truth: in tragedies like the murders of Charlie Kirk and Iryna Zarutska, even the best training and gear couldn’t have changed the outcome because of the severity of the wounds. These realities underscore both the importance and the limits of medical readiness.

Whether you’re new to medical training or looking to sharpen your skills, this conversation highlights what gear actually matters, how to build confidence under stress, and why training is the real life-saving edge.
