What compels a paramedic to risk everything for a complete stranger - even one who is violent or criminal? In a world where human life is often cheapened, this talk explores how the paramedic mindset reveals a deeper truth: that every life holds value. Through the lens of sacrifice and moral dilemmas, we’ll examine how paramedics become living witnesses to the sacredness of life in its most fragile moments.
Leigh Anderson is an accomplished paramedic, author, and speaker who brings over 15 years of frontline experience across urban, remote, and austere environments. He has operated in high-stakes roles including Special Response Team deployments and senior operations leadership during natural disasters like cyclones, floods, fires, and the COVID 19 pandemic. Passionate about helping people thrive under pressure, Leigh is the author of The Paramedic Mindset, a book that blends true life-and-death accounts from his career with the latest research on stress, resilience, and mental readiness.
