Closing the survival gap: John Haines, LivCor
John Haines literally wrote the book(s) on first aid training, and closing the survival gap.
John is pioneer on teaching people to respond to emergencies and save lives. His first aid textbooks resources have sold close to 2 million copies. He’s even had a first aid recovery position named after him.
