Today on Friday November 16th 2012 I went to the fire station and some fire fighters were setting up to film some videos to help give the trainees a reference to look to when they are preparing to take skill tests on EMR. I participated as the patient/victim in three videos.
The first scenario: I was in a car accident and my spine was in need of being stabilized and immobilized. The instructor began by putting a neck brace around my neck, then he put this green board behind my back to prop my spine up and he then secured me to the board by strapping me in.
The second scenario: I had a broken leg (right tibia near the knee) and was laying on the floor. The assistant manually stabilized my right leg as the instructor prepared the splint, applied the splint and secured it.
The third scenario: I had a dislocated right shoulder and the instructor was putting a sling around my arm to immobilizing my elbow and shoulder.
My mom just asked me how I acquired this dislocated shoulder, I told her I was the pitcher for the Angels.
They will be using this video as a reference to the skill tests for Emergency response in the class room.
I will have these videos by next week when they have been edited.
