I took a friend to the emergency room at 3am Saturday morning.

41. Different medical culture I guess

I remember more than once the Private Car, screeching tires and all, coming to the ER. That always led to a full mobilization by MEDTECHS. These ranged from a top to bottom initial survey, including a set of vitals, to whatever was needed. Medical patients moved to gurney or wheelchair, Trauma getting the full extrication they would in the Field, C-Spine and all.

I guess the Mexican Red Cross has a different culture coming from volunteerism. We just were jumpy, some would accuse us of very jumpy. (Some f e American volunteers were in for a culture shock)

I drove my dad with a lower GI bleed to the local university hospital. My mom was not impressed. We flew, emergency mind you, after they let him out, to Cleveland for the treatment needed. It helps when bro is one of their top doctors.
