I got back home around 0615 this morning from being at a medical post all night since 1700 the night before. It was quite a slow night compared to my usual workload at the ER; I really do wish the SWAT guys were less careful than they are now. I guess that means all the teams are improving and making much fewer mistakes than last year. I did get to meet the French National RAID team, all of them were extremely nice and shook everyones hands and kept thanking us for the invite. My partner for the night- Matt Rossi, was a wilderness first responder from San Mateo County Sheriff's office. He had quite a few funny stories and was super nice and easy to get along with unlike some other people I have had to be partnered up with at medical events. Very down to earth mellow guy who didn't play the "this is my territory since we in San Mateo and I am boss" card. He actually wanted to leave me in charge and I told him I'd pass cause I hate being boss in a foreign place, but if there was something big medically, sure I'd take over the situation I guess. I taught him some more advanced wilderness techniques which he found quite cool and I think he's probably going to share it at his next SAR meeting. My family didn't help my fatigue by waking me up at 0900 giving me a total possible 3 hours of sleep and a large migraine for the rest of the day.
Here's some pictures for your enjoyment:
