drill...

This months will be more busier than last months…

 

I got to attend a earth quake disaster drill organized by the local county authority…The drill will be attended by the county chief so it is considered as one of the large “show”. There will be 4 predrill and final show will be 3 weeks from today. I am one of the 3 medical officer who will be in-charged of the sick bay….Well, more working hours this months.

 

 

 

This part of Taiwan is considered as one of the least earth quake region. However months ago, the was a big earth quake which had a magnitude of 6.0+ on the Richter scale. Only a few casualties but it made the local govt. panic. So a “show” is put up.

 

 

 

I had been to similar show before – not that realistic. I don’t see how it could improved the medical shortage around this area. The nearest DMAT is 100km away from the point. I think it will be wise if the a local DMAT could be set up. But again – doctor shortage is the key element.

 

 

 

Well.. more report on such event – the 1^st pre-drill is scheduled on this Friday….
