WFR day 2

Day 2

This morning i slept in a little, got up and ate some cereal. We reviewed CPR in the morning and talked about what we learned yesterday. Then we split into 2 groups. one learned how to take blood pressure and what to listen for with breathing.(stethoscopes are fun!!) the other group learned about different items that can be used to assist in helping someone breath. Then we flipped. Next we did some PAS drills outside. that was fun. we had a few different scenario. and we would switch playing patient and WFR. then we finished up the morning with the circulatory system. talking about shock. had a bologna boat for lunch! back to school. did some more scenarios talked more about shock and the circulatory system. we learned how to take SOAP notes. then did some bigger scenarios. i got a big *bruise* from mt biking. i tried to avoid something in the path as i was going very fast and the tire stayed at a 90 degree angle to the bike and i went flying but not before i got the handle bar in my side where my spleen is. ouch! i was well taken care of tho. it was funny to see their expressions when they saw i actually had a bruise on my side. final problem was volume shock secondary to internal bleeding and i had to be air lifted out immediately. yeah! fun stuff. we did another scenario and i was a secondary responder aka a wingman! ha. good fun. that was the end of the day. we are getting into more hands on work the book work. thank goodness!! now i have to go do home work!
