MCI Drill

Today we had the MCI drill. In previous post I mentioned the training that we held here at the clinic prior to the drill. This is a drill that happens once every season. This year the scenario was dorm fire. We had 11 victims that did a great job with playing victims. We were supposed to have 12, but I think one guy that was supposed to be triaged as black just walked off. we heard rumors about a "dead" person that showed up in the medical clinic where the lab people were waiting for patients to be brought over from the casualty collection point.
Being in a very remote location and with very limited resources a lot of volunteers are needed. Everybody in town are called upon to help. We hope that it will always just be drills and never have to put the system in to action for real.
