I loved hearing about some of the wild scenarios that inspired the training. It would be great to get some dedicated story time to have ya'll talk more in depth about some more of those. Great episode, gentlemen!

Thanks for the recommendation on what to wear when role playing a casualty. I do wish I heard it a couple years ago though. I lost one of my favorite pairs of socks the last time I volunteered for a scenario. Fun times

[@OnesReady]

Hahah yeah sorry. Peaches and I had to replace the very nice jacket in question… our bad.

[@karenrhoads1598]

good episode

[@tristinhamilton8481]

Can you get a T3I Coach/ developer on the podcast? It think it would be an awesome listen

[@OnesReady]

Absolutely we are working it as we speak!!

[@WhiskeyMO]

I'm here for the cliches! So many of us thought we had to do everything by ourselves. Learning to designate tasks is a huge lesson learned here!

[@inkoftheworld]

Is Aaron talking about himself when he says there are people in the Air Force meant to be on broadway? x'D 13:07

[@OnesReady]

Lol 😂. I’m not that talented and literally no one wants to see more of me. - A

[@inkoftheworld]

That negative self talk will keep you from being a broadway star. -_-@@OnesReady

[@elsuperpollo2273]

Off topic question does peaches get into amateur radio or does he have plans to get into the hobby as a civilian? I'm facisinated with Morse code and working Parks On The Air and Summits On The Air especially trying to triangulate a antenna to make contacts with others in other countries with a G90 SDR HF radio or with a ft-891.

Since when are head injuries never combative?

[@OnesReady]

Who said that? Certainly not us. We were talking about a specific context (patients that are role players in training scenarios). In my experience, I have never had a patient that was ‘combative’ in the sense that’s they’ll pretend like they’re going to chill out, only to sprint out of their litter and from the CCP to run around and scream bloody murder. Humans (that are hurt and in a combat environment) don’t do that. Drugs, etoh, mental health crisis, sure, patients get combative and violent. But (oddly enough), I’ve never seen a blast injured concussed patient try and fight 3 operators that are there to help them. Maybe I just have different experiences; but I definitely did not say ‘head injured patients are never combative’. - A

[@JMM4886]

@12:30 it was said that a head injury “has never done” … “screaming and fighting.” I’ve not had one fisticuffs fight, but have had many writhing, flailing, screaming (especially pediatrics) head traumas. I guess I misinterpreted.

[@OnesReady]

@@JMM4886 all good- in the civilian world, I’ve definitely had combative patients for a number of different reasons that I mentioned earlier. Specifically, when we hand a 20 year old E4 a card that says “when the medic tries to treat you, push their hands away or ask repetitive questions” as the fake patient, those patients take that as “as soon as the PJ touches me, I’m going to try and wrestle him, try and escape, and scream bloody murder until they’re forced to gag me”. That’s what we are talking about.

[@OnesReady]

@@JMM4886 also- they don’t always have a southern accent. So, as peaches and I were talking, we definitely weren’t talking in absolutes or in a serious medical discussion… so there’s that.
