Scenario based training

[Nickthezombiehunter]

Hello All,

So I have had this idea for a couple weeks and I want to throw it out there so what kind of feedback I get to see its worth perusing. There are many medical providers on this site, so want I want to do is at the beginning of each week have a different medical scenario and patient that needs treating. We would discuss it through the week and then at the end of the week myself and some of the other medical professionals could give an "opinion" for a treatment course for the patient. Disclaimer- I am not a doctor, nor claim to be one. This is a scenario based what would you do. My response at the end of the week should be taken and simply my treatment for a patient if have managed in the past or how I would mange them. Always consult a physican if you need medical treatment. Disclaimer over! The goal of this is to test your "thinking outside the box medically ", medical gear and training thus far. These scenarios you would have limited outside resources like an ER or urgent care clinic. We could discuss everything from trauma, medical patients and environmental. Let me know what you think. Of course I would expect any of the medical providers that participate introduce yourself and a short list of credentials.

I will start off
10yrs prehospital experience, currently working as a flight paramedic for a large flight program doing critical care transport and prehospital "scene" flights. Done my fair share of rescue, fire dept, SERT, LE and so on.

Very cool idea!

I'm a big fan of scenarios that incorporate different aspects of wilderness and austere care. Frequently, experienced street practitioners do very well with managing the immediate threats presented in a wilderness scenario but not as well with patient packaging using improvised materials and for an extended evacuation. I'd like to, and would be happy to contribute, wilderness scenarios where patient care decision making can span hours or even days. I'm eternally grateful to my Wilderness EMS instructor who constantly set up difficult scenarios to increase our knowledge and our confidence.
