Finished final ex today. I only did the day one. I was a casualty for the night ex. We took turns but some people had to do both day and night ex. Also, got any medic vocation that has to do with statistics?

so how's your final ex, did you guys had to re-start 1/2 way during the ex due to some blunders made & where you guys did ur final ex..
I still remembered for my final nite ex, it was pouring so heavily & with regards to the medic vocation that has got to do with statistics, I don't think there's any..

We only got semula once during the day ex coz the OIC didnt report to the ground commander straight away and also set up the FAP wrongly. After that, it was fine. No more semulas.
Btw, got posted as a Hospital medic. Got to report to HQ on monday to find out which hospital I go to.

ok, no offence but hospital medics not as gd as ambulance medics coz you won't get to experience wat you've learnt during your MOC & apply it in real life situations..

None taken. Yea I understand that. I prefer to go medical centre or smth but dont know why kenna hospital. Like only the worst get sent there right?
-
i didn't know medic got final ex etc. what is it like?
is it as shiong as ERS?
-
Just have to setup First Aid point. Its just to prepare you for reservist coz from what I gather, you got to do that for medic reservist.

no offence again but medical centre medics also kinda boring vocation coz you'll only get to see those recruits or whoever who is not feeling well but administer flu jabs for example..
unless if that's what you really want & you stay near CDA then its not a problem but still nothing beats being an ambulance medic aka station medic..

same same. but i want to know what's the scenario?
for me, it was like usually fire cases, say.. 6 casualties caught in burning building, etc.
or mass casualty.

our instructors or the paramedic in charge will let the casualities know what will be their injuries, either P0, P1, P2, P3 or P4..
but we being the medics to rescue them won't know what are their injuries till we found them..
after we assess then we bring them to the triage area aka 1st aid point..

in a way.. doesn't sound as shiong la. (exercise, not real life)
fire floor can really be chaotic during exercise. sibei frustrating if you don't get the back up you need while you are squatting with an uncontrollable fire in front of you. the acrid smoke make your eyes water and painful, you have to find casualties, and make sure you don't die in the process. everyone plays a part. imagine one sabo kia, turn off the water while you are fighting a flash over, or one goondu rambo, rush in solo, without hearing his friend signal that water is up. (that happened in my ERS course actually lol)
need to hv entrance and exit strategy, need to watch out your air supply don't run out.
but i really find u guys amazing at those bandage things, i can never remember what bandage is for what wound. except the donut one. for knife wound.
what's the hardest part of a paramedic field ex?

yeah, during my medic life as an ambulance medic, I didn't get to use the "donut" bandage & that is for impaled object..
the only thing which I don't like was to go thru the tear gas part whereby you need to enter a room with tear gas, take off your hood of the CA suit then shout out your name & ic number..
for paramedics field ex I'm not too sure because paramedics are regulars whereas medics are NS..

Hey guys, been a while since I posted in this thread. I got posted to the medical orderly course. Same batch like Sacredsoul but was posted to station. I wanted medical centre also initially, was abit terrified when Encik called my name and released my posting.
Been two days in station now, today is my off day. Kind of stressful and scared to let the paramedics and the station medic in the station down. Still nervous in calls and other stuffs. So many things to improve so little time. I'm so going to be dead in station.
