Day Three

Power was out most of Tuesday, which precluded our daily posting until now, at midnight.

For the students, a lack of power in the course is almost inconsequential.  They are out, running scenarios with people bleeding, in pain. or otherwise in need of their ever-increasing skill-set.

To that end, Tuesday was spent learning about the core of any good wilderness medicine course:  patient assessment.

Tomorrow we take those skills down to a local river for extended, more complicated scenarios.  In addition, students will begin integrating other skills learned, such as fire-building and knot-tying, into the mix of caring for patients in remote settings.

Assuming the power remains on, we'll do our best to post some more photos at the end of the day, hopefully with higher resolution!
