@wildmedupdates.bsky.social Hi Patrick, you’ll get more Bluesky interactions if you add some tags to your account. The wilderness medicine feed could definitely do with livening up ❄️🏔️🚁

This is really cool, and a great idea! I had no idea someone was selling this. The kit I looked at on their website is $3400, which seems a bit steep to me. Hopefully someone can get some use of the free stuff posted above!

Have any of you tried the online cybersecurity simulation game “Hackable Hospital”? It was a EUSEM and will be at WADEM or can be accessed through it’s website. After initial success I am now totally stuck- super frustrating. You would crush it in a blink of your eye @oplopanax.ca #medsky

Kia ora! If you follow me I apologise for lack of content recently. But I’d appreciate your input: Which is your preferred abstract submission portal? Oxford Abstracts, ConfTool , Google Docs , commercial organisers’ own version or any others that you would recommend. Thanks in advance #medsky

A high quality syllabus for “Immediate Self Aid for Lone Workers“ appears to be nonexistent.Most first aid depends on a person other than the injured party delivering the first aid. There is a UK “ severely injured “ course which covers application of TQ but that’s all I can find.

It has taken me much longer than it should but I have now created a fully functioning app with a calculator function and PDF printout of FACET "First Aid Complexity Engagement Tool " for WADEM in Tokyo. Thanks go to my friends, Aleksandra and Claude 😉 for their patience and encouragement throughout
