GUEST: Dennis R. Blocker, ii

ABOUT DENNIS: Dennis R Blocker II was born into a military family and as such was always on the go. A cycle of military assignments led all over the globe; Iceland and Guam. From an early age Dennis had a desire to help people. In 1990 a 16-year-old Dennis spent a month in the jungles of Zaire, Africa conducting mission work. A personal accident in the old Congo gave Dennis a serious lesson on the importance of medical training.

Through the years Dennis has sought to help others who had suffered from the ravages of Mother Nature. Floods, hurricanes, fires and all sorts of mayhem would find Dennis right in the middle, lending a hand. Journal keeping was important to Dennis and those books proved to be a boon during the writing of his book CLEAR! which is based on his 23 years in Emergency Medicine.
