00:01.460 --> 00:02.550
- What we were doing today

00:02.550 --> 00:04.640
was walking through a patient scenario

00:04.640 --> 00:07.060
and seeing where the stopgaps would be

00:07.060 --> 00:08.670
if we were taking care of a patient

00:08.670 --> 00:10.860
in this field hospital set-up,

00:10.860 --> 00:14.190
what all we would need in
terms of services, resources,

00:14.190 --> 00:17.730
equipment, including both
actual equipment and personnel

00:17.730 --> 00:21.340
where we've got physicians, nurses, techs,

00:21.340 --> 00:23.970
lab and some radiology capabilities,

00:23.970 --> 00:26.880
but ideally just taking
care of overflow patients

00:26.880 --> 00:29.260
or patients that don't
necessarily need to be

00:29.260 --> 00:31.590
in the hospital at the time of a crisis.

00:31.590 --> 00:33.250
So we went through an exercise

00:33.250 --> 00:37.210
where a routine patient came
in and then decompensates

00:37.210 --> 00:38.680
to really push us to the limit

00:38.680 --> 00:41.102
and figure out what we would
need in terms of resources.

00:41.102 --> 00:43.833
- Or could we just say we need help

00:43.833 --> 00:45.610
with respiratory therapy or--

00:45.610 --> 00:47.040
- I love simulation and I like

00:47.040 --> 00:49.500
going through these mental exercises,

00:49.500 --> 00:52.780
so thinking about the theoretical
setup of a field hospital

00:52.780 --> 00:55.840
is something that I've always
been pretty passionate about.

00:55.840 --> 00:58.070
I'm also involved in our
graduate medical education,

00:58.070 --> 01:00.380
so our residency program,
so it's nice for me

01:00.380 --> 01:03.270
to see our trainees out here in this setup

01:03.270 --> 01:06.750
just to make sure that they have some idea

01:06.750 --> 01:08.960
of what they might face
when they go overseas.

01:08.960 --> 01:11.370
So as military providers
we don't just take care

01:11.370 --> 01:13.160
of pediatric patients, we also take care

01:13.160 --> 01:16.100
of our adult patients and
so it's a really good way

01:16.100 --> 01:19.680
for us to start to stretch
our mental modeling

01:19.680 --> 01:21.910
and our thinking of how we
would take care of people

01:21.910 --> 01:23.130
in this particular setting.

01:23.130 --> 01:25.370
So I had a lot of fun and I think

01:25.370 --> 01:26.790
the residents learned quite a bit,

01:26.790 --> 01:29.770
even just about the systems, processes,

01:29.770 --> 01:31.380
and things that we need to have in place

01:31.380 --> 01:33.280
in order to provide good medical care.
