Facilitator asks medics:

Who remembered to

  • Put on gloves?

  • Introduce themselves?

  • Get consent?

  • Spread calm: yourself, your buddy, your patient, bystanders?

  • Control the scene?

  • Stick with your buddy?

Facilitator asks medics and patients: 1
  • How did medics deal with the fear and anticipation before the police charge?

  • Were medics able to negotiate any patients past police lines? How? Were some patients let through and not others? Why?

  • How was it to try to do patient care in such a restricted environment? What did medics do for the pregnant woman? The child? The person with handcuff injuries? The person with an ankle problem? Why was each of these patients important to see in this situation?

  • Did medics lose patients when things escalated?

  • Were medics able to mobilize bystanders to help control the scene? Were bystanders able to help in any other ways?

  • Were medics able to spread calm and do scene control during the police charge?

  • How did medics triage the situation? If they didn't, can we do a post-mortem triage? Discuss patients: 2 airway issues; possible internal bleeding with no known MOI -- bruise is old though; variety of disabilities from mobility to vision.

  • Did any protesters get in the way? How did medics deal with that?

  • Team structure --- did buddies stick together? Did any buddy pairs specifically do triage?

Facilitator asks other actors

for comments.

Students

Stay in buddy pairs and do buddy check-in about the day so far -- permission, ground, body feelings, basic needs, action, and thanks.


  1. These questions are geared towards medics, but are meant to facilitate discussion between patients and medics.
