Compound that with the fact that these are not typically short-stay patients. I suspect some of those beds are occupied for months at a time.

Feel free to DM me with non-clinical details. I can check and see what we are aware of at CAF TG.

I cannot give great detail about internal VAC people & processes, but I know that lack of a CF98 or 663 will not be a show stopper in this case (for Res F Pte Bloggins who breaks a toe on a weekend Ex, it does complicate it). It is what is on a medical record (military and/or civilian) that can...

There are a few GDMO who still have their jump wings. That said, they are not typically on high readiness to go at a moment's notice. SAR Techs maintain a 24/7 response capability where they are stationed, and I suspect that calling in extra available pers to support could be quickly achieved -...

It must be remembered that unless a full Field Ambulance is deployed on a Ex, there are only limited resources available - a few dismounted Medics, a couple of Ambs, maybe a small UMS with a Doc or PA. A standard UMS under mod tentage had two trauma bays, and the Weatherhaven shelter UMS has...

I can tell you from experience that it is easy to lose track of casualties if you are not focused, or if the system gets overwhelmed - some may be unconscious, some may have been injured or disfigured, clothing including name tags & dog tags may be missing. In one of the incidents I was involved...

Sorry to be off topic but..... I went to Nelson from 82-87! All things considered, it was a good school back then. We did have a good breadth of options to choose from. But, for folks who were more trade oriented, there was General Brock HS - though I believe that's long gone.

Unfortunately, none of us here can give you a solid answer on whether you would be medically screened out or not. You do need to be completely honest with the Recruiting staff and disclose everything (failure to do so can lead to a future release of Irregular Enrolment which isn't good). I...

I'm trying to keep my BP down these days, so I'm hoping for old/outdated/missing/broken safety equipment coupled with poor training and lack of supervision

I would watch for mobilization and movement of medical and military personnel and resources into the area, especially CBRN units. Then, watch for restrictions on movement into/out of the area - road/rail/air. Cutting off internet would also be indicative of a big problem. There's other possible...

I do have serious concerns, especially with the known Russian narrative. The 'wild strains' of Yersinia pestis are a Bio Safety Level 3 pathogen. If you're curious, you can look up the protocols in place for safe handling and storage of BSL 3 pathogens. Dropping a vial on the floor or under a...

Aaaah, it's the Demon Core!! Alright kids - do not mess with Plutonium!

Weaponized Yersinia pestis is nightmare material. Pneumonic plague is due to inhalation of the pathogen, and the Soviets did develop liquid and dry forms or aerosols. Yes, there are effective antibiotics for treatment - for known variants. The million dollar question is whether this is a known...

Both are in the movie - Gabby Johnson is the crazy old miner, and Howard Johnson owns the ice cream parlor.

"Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson Donald Trump for clearly stating what needed to be said... Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age." Blazing Saddles for the young ones.....
