Learning First Aid in the Mountains

After twenty-five years in career EMS, I'm going to learn firs-aid! Seriously. This weekend I'll be traveling to the High Peaks area of New York State in the Adirondack Mountains to spend some time with instructors from Wilderness Medical Associates.

A weekend in the ADK and putting a new twist on some old skills...learning how to manage situations without a med bag, cardiac monitor, or an ambulance. I can't wait!

Of course, a full review will come in the form of the next "off duty" segment of Mitigation Journal.
