Michael Busch@ai6yr The particularly SoCal experience of having the advertised moulage artist for CERT drills.
I once had a drill in Los Angeles that was actually scheduled on Halloween so that we all could walk back afterwards without freaking everyone out...
@michael_w_busch That would be COOL!
@ai6yr That CERT drill was outside the UCLA medical center. So I walked past a block of fraternity Halloween parties across the street with my shirt covered in fake blood up to the elbows.
And that was how I learned about the series "Dexter".
MsMerope@michael_w_busch @ai6yr we used to do that with our drills, especially Fall Basic. We don't do it anymore. We participated in an EMSA drill recently and folks were required to un-moulage before leaving the drill site.
Why?
The last drill they did? They let people leave "made-up" and somebody got into a car accident, was unconscious and the responding medics had difficulty sorting out the real wounds from the fake ones; thus delaying care.
