Rocky Mountain Interns Survive Plane Crash

…or so WEMT students were led to believe during their night scenario on Monday. Certainly we were a bit worse the wear as you can see from the pictures – Hope’s arm was fairly mangled and a nasty head injury put me unconscious in short order. The images hardly do the moulage jobs we recieved justice; anyone considering a zombie get-up for Haloween should contact WMI instructors Marco Johnson and Tate Higgins.

In the the cool air of Sinks Canyon there was a palpable sense of urgency among the students, a testament to the power of the scenario. Even if their instructors had not been lurking about under the cover of night to evaluate their care the students were clearly caught up in the moment, making it a great deal of fun for us “patients”. While my head and neck have been a bit sore from spending a couple of hours on a backboard wearing a C-Collar, I imagine I learned as much from being a taken care of as they did from being caregivers.
