Much was accomplished…Many miles were traveled..
Monday office, prepped for weeks classes..
Tuesday..Did the Mega Code testing for ACLS Refresher Class…MDs, RNs, Radiologists, Paramedics, etc.
Then to Rogers, Mn
Tuesday Night…EMR(1st responder Refresher) for Rogers Police and Fire…All lecture…eww…Glad I was just there to observe!
Then to Camp Ripley
Wednesday…Minnesota State Patrol EMR Refresher. AM and PM sessions…We are doing a bit of classroom and then scenario training, Active Shooter, with sim rounds, two officers down and wounded, A welfare check in a stopped vehicle, with young child having a severe asthma attack and a felony stop pit maneuver where officer crashes and is trapped with a Fx femur and a femoral artery bleed…All three scenarios have life threatening, but correctable injuries if the Troopers acted and treated properly…(TOURNIQUET!!!) But it was damn cold up there as we are outside and they have plenty of snow on the ground and it was WINDY!!!
Then back home and on…
Thursday…Last night of the EMR Initial class I am teaching, lectures and skill practice before next weeks written 100 point final and practice for the following weeks Skills Testing…I feel they are all pretty solid…
Friday? Was off! But cleared the glacier that had engulfed the ’91 Buick (son’s car, which he has not driven for a while, like most of the winter!! No gas money, looking for job!) as it sat at the end of the drive. But I got it out and started after much work…Filled it for him and he wanted to know what the “catch’ was when I handed him the gas receipt…At least that is what he asked his Mom..She said was because ‘Your Dad is nice! Say thank you!!” Took a while to get it going and is due for an oil change and after driving it around a bit, brakes..
So not a bad week…All in all…But plenty of road time…
And now..
Good Night!!
