Good Samaritan Story with ICU Nurse Madeline Dahl

Would you be able to do the right thing at the right time for a total stranger? That is the exact position ICU nurse Madeline Dahl found herself in when she did her first ever organized bike ride the STP; a two day 200 mile bike ride from Seattle to Portland.

On today's episode not only do we learn about this EPIC Good Samaritan tale, we catch up with Madeline and talk about the reality and intensity of working in a COVID ICU, how she adapted and is still processing her feelings in real time. We learn how going back to the basics kept her afloat in this intense time, including revisiting 'Notes on Nursing' by Florence Nightingale. This was a truly inspirational interview.

I hope you enjoy this episode! It was a roller coaster!
