Mass Casualty Drill


Evaluating a patient in our trauma bay

The main event this week was our Mass Casualty exercise.  This was a test to make sure that we
could function efficiently and treat or medevac patient's if a real mass casualty event takes place.  We knew it was going to happen on Wednesday but we didn't know what time or the number of patient's we would have.  

Unloading one of our "patients" from the ambulance ... 

Documenting medications in the patient's chart ...



Our entire staff of corpsmen, docs, and me (the only nurse)
including our Army doc and Army medics. 


















Overall everything went well and we successfully triaged, treated and evacuated 5 critical patients before they ended the exercise.  It was cool to work together with our Army counterparts and the EMS staff at our Camp.
