Disaster exercise D2

We were there by 9:30am as ordered. By 10am, we were informed that there was a change of plam. We would enter the scene by running in instead of sending in by ambulance. They had prepared a room for us - store room for airlines just beside the boarding gate. Luckily it was air-conditioned, evenif it is now autumn day but very windy around this area,but still southern part of this country could heat up to 29 degree at noon.

There was a drill in the morning and by 11:00am, the lunch box arrived. We took our portion and waited till afternoon for the 2nd round of drill.





this is the medical tent for the moderate injured patient - no bedsheet, no mat for the patient to rest...
more waiting time - you can see the famous buddist organization was also requested to participate...

 

There were patients for us to manage at the afternoon drill, but somehow the organising committee was not satisfy and called for a 3rd drill. It was 3:30 pm we were reluctant to do it...according the schedule there was only 4 drill prior to the final presentation. The last drill was over by 5:00pm and I reached hospital by 5:50pm barely made it to took over from my colleague. I was cursing on the way back as the committee had anounced that we would be havinv another drill tomorrow morning - according to the schedule, we would only need to report  by noon for the final presentation of D3.....





The stage The tent for "black" bag....

The call for the night was extremely good - there was only 1 patient at 2:30pm from 12MN to morning 7am...I got a good sleep.
