Paramedic/Dispatcher Michael Henderson, Take Charge of Your Own Recovery
Taking Charge of Your Recovery. The Firefighter Deconstructed sits down with paramedic and dispatcher Michael Henderson. Michael was a paramedic in Oakland, CA and then became a dispatcher. He was a dispatcher on duty during the catastrophic Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa and Napa that became the most destructive fire in California history. We talk about his journey through trauma and the resulting PTSI. Michael’s spiral down to the bottom of that dark hole almost cost him his life. His journey back is one of resilience and inspiration. We also talk about the Stellate Ganglion Block treatment for PTSI and Michael’s experience with it.
