Episode Synopsis

Bear are cute and cuddly, right? Well, not so much if they're up close and personal. At 500 pounds, a male black bear is something to reckon with, and Joe Alton, MD, gives you some plans of action to survive an encounter. Also, Amy Alton, ARNP and Dr. Alton discuss the most recent E. Coli intestinal infection outbreak in the Northwest, and how to identify and treat it. Also, how to make sterile saline for wound care with limited supplies. All this from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park!
