We tried our hand at a snow dance with Sammie and Chuckie for everyone to have no school tomorrow… Manikins and staff hope it worked. 😂

Tuesday is EMS Safety Day to promote Safety for the EMS provider, the patient, and the public
Safety Day encourages first responders to focus on risk and prevention rather than possible negative outcomes and aims to promote the advancement of safety measures for both the community and the profession. This is a great day to highlight stress reduction, self-care and mental health awareness, improved situational awareness, driving and roadway safety, vehicle and device maintenance, proper lifting techniques or violence awareness programs.
Dan also brought Edo in to search our apartment setting.

Medic 5 PHTLS 2-10-2018
Medic 5 students ran through PreHospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) scenarios on the 10th. Take a look at them in action.
You arrive on scene to a single vehicle accident with 2 injured...what next? With our new Sweet Extrication Unit, our EMT/Paramedic students can practice multiple accident scenarios they may come across out in the field. We can have the car upright, on its side, or upside down. The possibilities are endless.
