'If the camels die, we die'. Julian Woodall joins us this week to discuss his experiences in the remote and expedition worlds. Alongside WEM Trauma Lead Eoin Walker, Julian explores how he fell into medicine during his career in the Army, and hasn't looked back since. Julian dives into some of his work treating catastrophic injuries, considering how advancements in the kit available has improved the quality of patient care. Julian details how he transitioned from his military career to civilian life and re-finding his sense of purpose teaching first aid to remote workers. The pair also reflect on Julian's desert expedition with Seb Coulthard FRGS, as they replicated the journey that Lawrence the his Army took to Aqaba, Jordan on July 6th, 1917. His trip took him from Wadi Rumm, his mode of transport was the same as Lawrence had used - camels, and there would be no vehicle support, no back up - everything was to be done as if it was 1917.
