00:10.399 --> 00:13.100
The scenario for today's exercise was

00:13.189 --> 00:15.411
an event was going on at the Alamo Dome

00:15.411 --> 00:17.411
with a significant number of people

00:17.411 --> 00:19.467
present right next to the Alamo Dome

00:19.467 --> 00:21.633
are some railroad tracks , a train was

00:21.633 --> 00:25.010
parked there . One of the cars was

00:25.350 --> 00:27.406
detonated which caused a significant

00:27.406 --> 00:29.690
explosion . Us being one of the level

00:29.700 --> 00:32.099
one trauma centers of two here in San

00:32.110 --> 00:34.221
Antonio . Obviously , we would be one

00:34.221 --> 00:36.554
of the first ones to see these patients .

00:45.959 --> 00:47.848
The exercise we're doing today is

00:47.848 --> 00:49.681
important because it gives us an

00:49.681 --> 00:51.737
opportunity to validate our skills ,

00:51.737 --> 00:53.903
coordinate with our community partners

00:53.903 --> 00:55.903
and kind of demonstrate that we are

00:55.903 --> 00:58.126
prepared in the ways that we think that

00:58.126 --> 01:00.237
we are . It also gives us a chance to

01:00.237 --> 01:02.459
stress our system and identify gaps and

01:02.459 --> 01:05.120
get after things that we can improve on .

01:15.059 --> 01:17.226
As one of two level one trauma centers

01:17.226 --> 01:19.226
within the city of San Antonio , we

01:19.226 --> 01:21.337
work directly with the community . So

01:21.337 --> 01:23.559
if something like this scenario were to

01:23.559 --> 01:25.726
occur , I mean , on a daily basis , we

01:25.726 --> 01:27.781
get civilian trauma patients . So we

01:27.781 --> 01:30.003
are a key player within the community .

01:30.003 --> 01:32.115
So us participating in exercises like

01:32.115 --> 01:35.110
this is critical to us ensuring that we

01:35.120 --> 01:37.870
are ready for something of this nature .

01:38.910 --> 01:41.080
Most any and every department within

01:41.089 --> 01:43.349
dancing in some form or fashion , even

01:43.360 --> 01:45.471
if it's just simply sending personnel

01:45.471 --> 01:47.527
to the labor pool to augment patient

01:47.527 --> 01:49.693
movement and things like that had some

01:49.693 --> 01:52.550
sort of role in this . So in closing ,

01:52.559 --> 01:54.559
I would like to thank our community

01:54.559 --> 01:56.448
partners , especially the str for

01:56.448 --> 01:58.392
helping us get this done . Uh It's

01:58.392 --> 02:00.281
great partnerships all across San

02:00.281 --> 02:02.970
Antonio . Uh that really uh make the

02:02.980 --> 02:05.147
medical community as strong as it is .

02:05.147 --> 02:07.369
I would like to thank the staff for the

02:07.369 --> 02:09.424
things that they do every single day

02:09.424 --> 02:11.480
for the high level of competency and

02:11.480 --> 02:13.424
professionalism that they have . I

02:13.424 --> 02:15.536
think that we've seen that here today

02:15.536 --> 02:17.702
and they've demonstrated that they are

02:17.702 --> 02:20.238
some of the best in the entire dod and

02:20.248 --> 02:22.415
they're really a shining light for the

02:22.415 --> 02:24.526
entire San Antonio area when it comes

02:24.526 --> 02:28.380
to emergency response . I am .
