WEBVTT

00:00.140 --> 00:02.362
the disaster medical assistance team or

00:02.362 --> 00:05.780
demand . We are composed of people that

00:05.790 --> 00:07.957
actually work real life in the medical

00:07.957 --> 00:10.380
field . So it's doctors , nurses ,

00:10.580 --> 00:12.890
paramedics , respiratory therapists ,

00:12.890 --> 00:14.890
pharmacists , pretty much the whole

00:14.890 --> 00:18.600
gamut of the medical field . So when we

00:18.600 --> 00:21.220
are called up were deployed is for a

00:21.220 --> 00:24.390
two week situation and it is for

00:24.400 --> 00:26.790
federally declared disasters . So what

00:26.800 --> 00:28.967
this time we've been working with with

00:28.967 --> 00:31.310
the military side is we were receiving

00:31.310 --> 00:33.610
patients from the helicopters , were

00:33.620 --> 00:35.842
integrating with receiving the patients

00:35.842 --> 00:38.030
receiving the report and then taking

00:38.030 --> 00:40.086
the patients and treating them as if

00:40.086 --> 00:42.086
this was a real time event and then

00:42.086 --> 00:43.086
transporting

00:43.086 --> 00:48.960
out

00:49.040 --> 00:50.060
Right friends .

01:12.410 --> 01:14.910
Really , really lucky to be on

01:14.910 --> 01:17.210
Wisconsin one because we do train a lot

01:17.220 --> 01:19.387
and we do interface a lot so that when

01:19.387 --> 01:21.700
we go out in the field , we tend to be

01:21.710 --> 01:23.410
quite honestly a well oiled

01:23.410 --> 01:31.470
machine

01:31.480 --> 01:33.710
and we're here to also help mentor our

01:33.710 --> 01:36.140
new people on the team . So what we've

01:36.140 --> 01:38.251
been doing is , you know , setting up

01:38.251 --> 01:40.418
our type of incident command , setting

01:40.418 --> 01:42.307

01:42.307 --> 01:44.529

01:44.529 --> 01:46.751
we can do to better prepare ourselves .

01:46.751 --> 01:48.862

01:48.862 --> 01:50.862

01:53.029 --> 01:55.084
the youngsters , youngsters bring in

01:55.084 --> 01:56.918

01:56.918 --> 01:59.029
they're doing things now and I get to

01:59.029 --> 02:01.251

02:01.251 --> 02:03.473
used to do that and kind of amazed them

02:03.473 --> 02:05.584
that how much easier certain things ,

02:05.584 --> 02:07.529
certain things in health care have

02:07.529 --> 02:09.696
