00:04.440 --> 00:09.070
- Tech Sergeant Robin, I'm
with the 119th Medical Group.

00:09.070 --> 00:12.770
Today we set up a Mass Casualty incident

00:12.770 --> 00:14.730
with about 20 patients.

00:14.730 --> 00:16.690
We're working on getting our patients

00:16.690 --> 00:19.220
out of the field, into the hospital,

00:19.220 --> 00:23.910
treatment, and then evacuating
them to higher care.

00:23.910 --> 00:26.180
So, in a Mass Casualty that means

00:26.180 --> 00:29.950
that our patients outnumber our medics.

00:29.950 --> 00:33.530
So, right now we have six to
eight medics working in here,

00:33.530 --> 00:37.100
and we have about 20
patients who all need care.

00:37.100 --> 00:39.740
So, making sure we know who to treat first

00:39.740 --> 00:43.790
is always very important, which is triage.

00:43.790 --> 00:46.900
So, people get labeled and taken care of

00:47.849 --> 00:49.303
depending on their injuries.

00:50.310 --> 00:52.040
So, we want the Airmen to practice working

00:52.040 --> 00:53.090
on some more of those

00:55.500 --> 00:58.430
greater injuries and practice their skills

00:58.430 --> 01:01.770
and then also being able
to triage them as we go.

01:01.770 --> 01:06.010
Best career field because, you
know, we get to help people.

01:06.010 --> 01:08.270
It's awesome, we get to learn
these really great skills

01:08.270 --> 01:11.400
that we can put to use in the Air Force

01:11.400 --> 01:13.100
and outside of the Air Force.

01:13.100 --> 01:14.700
We can care for a lot of people.

01:16.570 --> 01:18.470
It's fun, it's really fun.

01:18.470 --> 01:21.050
I got to moulage most of
the patients this morning.

01:21.050 --> 01:23.980
So, not only did I get to plan,
I also got to implement it

01:23.980 --> 01:27.680
and stick shrapnel in people's backs

01:27.680 --> 01:31.030
and make sure they had a
bloody arm and a gunshot,

01:31.030 --> 01:32.620
and just fun things like that.

01:32.620 --> 01:34.820
It's great, great people to work with.

01:34.820 --> 01:38.290
So, all of us are registered EMTs,

01:38.290 --> 01:40.440
which means that we can
take that certification

01:40.440 --> 01:43.880
and work as an EMT in the outside field.

01:43.880 --> 01:48.770
A lot of our medics go on to
nursing school, medical school,

01:48.770 --> 01:51.760
some of them are even going
for veterinarian technicians.

01:51.760 --> 01:53.570
So, the skills we learn in the Air Force,

01:53.570 --> 01:56.080
we apply to jobs on the outside.

01:56.080 --> 01:58.730
Love being a Hooligan, it's a great time,

01:58.730 --> 01:59.970
great people to work with.

01:59.970 --> 02:04.310
We make connections all over
base, everyone is so helpful.

02:04.310 --> 02:06.163
I wouldn't ask to be anywhere else.

02:07.110 --> 02:09.280
I'm really proud to work
with these individuals

02:09.280 --> 02:13.010
in the medical group, they are
all very intelligent people,

02:13.010 --> 02:16.420
hardworking, they are
fabulous at their jobs,

02:16.420 --> 02:19.430
and I couldn't ask for a better unit

02:19.430 --> 02:20.930
or better people to work with.
