Ouch! Medic!

So last night I was asked to go to the Loudoun County Fire Academy” to help out the EMT B class with their County EMT exam by being a 'trauma patient.' It was pretty fun.


They gave me some old clothes (to be cut up) and gave me a mock 'flailed chest' injury. Most of the teams that 'treated' me were pretty decent. One team from 6 were very good.


The sucky part of course is that the pressure bandage used to treat the 'wound' is taped to my bare chest.


My bare, moderately furry chest.


Ouch.


So now I have a partial wax job courtesy Loudoun County.


Ouch indeed.
