I treated several minor " ooopsees " and we had a couple EMT runs to the Saratoga Springs Medical Centre....... And sorry I cannot talk about specifics on those......
I always advise that anybody I treat follow up with advise from competent Medical Authority when I assist.......
One did, for some minor cuts from fishing around in a cooler looking for a brew when there were broken bottles and after 6 hours, and 350.00 they unwrapped my repair, blessed it, and rewrapped it and sent him back.......The next day when I went to recheck it the wounds were reopened from pounding on a van to get a friend up.......Rewrap, take 2.......
Well, it started hurting, as expected and he returned to the MC, another 4 hours, and a volume discount of 250.00.......
Day 3 rolled around, and I decided that no more visits from me were required, however someone else suggested he should soak it in salt water....Well he did, for 3 hours in the bandages and gauze.....
OK, so his hand looked like a Californian Raisin....At this point, he decided to pack up and go...hopefully one more time to the MC.....
Back on rounds.......
And Yes, I still think every Councils should get an AED for their own eVANT's.....and that would mean several at the Natz.....

While I just got all my rental money back, and they said they would also refund my course money, I am still of the opinion that all Council's should get their own as the best way to make sure one is where it is , when it is needed most........
