Today students were introduced to the US EMS system, to the legalities of providing medical care, and to methods used to assess scenes. We also began learning various knots used in rescue and other outdoor activities. Class started at 6:45 am and ended at 5:30 pm, so by the end of the day they were definitely tired. At the time of our writing this (10:45 pm), they are all in the classroom catching up on reading and preparing for Wednesday's exam.
Tomorrow we begin with patient assessment, which forms the foundation of the EMT curriculum, and from there we will begin giving them the first of hundreds of scenarios.
The connection is slow, so we can't post photos tonight but will continue working on it and will have some up shortly.
