[MR] Pennsic Chirurgeonate/EMS

[Dexter Guptill]

Ah, but was that Chirurgeons, or EMTs? I was on shift one time when the
girls brought her in. No contact with the Chirurgeons at all, straight to
EMS. The only Chirurgeonate contact on that visit was me, talking to Erin
and Jen about whether THEY were handling it Ok.  The only time Chirurgeons
were supposed to handle an issue, is after EMS had looked at the patient and
determined that it was a situation where first aid was appropriate and
sufficient.
