    DART Delay?

    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20051021.wdart1021/BNStory/National/ Although I haven't deployed as a medic, I'd like to think that how we practice is how we play... at least to some extent. Throughout years of courses and exercises with the medical services, there's always...

    Tactical Assesment for Non medical personnel

    Armymedic, Fair enough... my original point was just to lay it out more clearly.  If you lay it out as IAs like rifle drills, I believe the SOP would be more user friendly.  As in, assess airway--> if compromised, put cas in recovery position.  Certainly not that big a deal. In response to...

    CFMG becoming more "clinical"?

    Snr Med A, I know what your getting at when you talk about becoming more clinical.  Working in Ottawa, just downstairs from CFMG HQ, I do get the sense that the big decision maker types are willing to see role 1 and 2 care erode in favour of greater role 3 (Field Hospital) capabilities. Of...

    Fd Ambs vs Original Units

    As much as there are some major growing pains with pulling all the medics back under command of Fd Amb, I think that it is a smart decision in the long run for all the reasons stated above. As far as the res Fd Amb's are concerned, I don't know how things look from 23's perspective DSB, but one...

    Tactical Assesment for Non medical personnel

    This is well thought out.  The only thing I can think of to add is in step 4 of care under fire, add actions on for compromised airway.  This would likely be as simple as putting the casualty in the recovery position or repositioning the head. I expect you'd agree that a basic airway...
