    We have this week off. We will be back with an all new episode on December 1st. Enjoy episode 10 of Critical Incidents Podcast. Brittany was a 911 dispatcher, a young mom, and a survivor of domestic violence. But everything changed the day her infant daughter was rushed to the hospital—barely alive, covered in hidden injuries from abuse no one had seen. In this unforgettable episode, Brittany shares how that moment shattered her world—and how it ultimately led her to become a forensic nurse examiner. From collecting evidence for abuse victims to testifying in court, Brittany now stands between survivors and the system that too often fails them. This is her story: raw, heartbreaking, and full of purpose. #TrueCrimePodcast #SurvivorStory #CriticalIncidentsPodcast #ForensicNurse #RealStories #PodcastEpisode #ListenNow #DomesticViolenceSurvivor #ChildAbuseAwareness #EndDV #AbusiveHeadTrauma #ShakenBabySyndrome #BreakTheSilence #SurvivorsSpeak #ForensicNursing #TraumaInformedCare #VictimAdvocate #NursesOfInstagram #HealthcareHeroes #FirstResponderTraining #JusticeForSurvivors Learn more about your ad choices.
