[MR] Pennsic Chirurgeonate/EMS

[Dexter Guptill]

What he said.  With EMS hanging around out front, we knew that
patients who came to the Chirurgeon side had first-aid issues, not
"Holy $#!+ send them back NOW" issues. If it was a 911-call type
thing, EMS handled it at the outset.

EMS was also very good with asking US for help, with SCA-specific
stuff like armor, garb issues, and whatnot. We had a few less warrants
on the 0-dark-30 shifts than in years past, but the patient load was
also light after midnight. I haven't seen an actual "Puking Duke"
shift in about 4-5 years.

The level of understanding, cooperation and professionalism "exceeded the expectations" of many involved in the process and those that have been supervising or administratively monitoring it.  All parties are communicating well, analyzing feedback and working together for improvement.  There is a positive environment for training of new Chirurgeons and opportunities for service in a variety of ways.  I was proud to be a part of it and encourage others to join in next year.
