Stay safe with projected heavy rains tonight! Stay informed! ❌ DO NOT drive in flooded waters!! The danger increases significantly after dark.
“Dry drowning” is a myth. No evidence supports deterioration in asymptomatic kids hours after swimming. If vitals and lungs are normal, discharge is safe. 🌊 @hawkvox @EmergencyDocs @CircAHA ow.ly/5hzy50WHC0w

This remarkable 50 km ultramarathon is one of the most famous & challenging in the world. The route, which changes every year, must be navigated by racers without GPS, and which they only receive access to the morning before, includes about 3600 m of elevation change on each loop. More info on the marathon series: youtu.be/NDZdsqbcGTU?si… This really was a perfect capstone experience to the Extern’s month & gave them real-world experiential education around event medicine and austere/wilderness medical care. And for sure the grueling characteristics of the Barkley provided plenty of experience! We were positioned at the top of a truly gnarly series of switchbacks up Bird Mountain, & just before the Pillars of Doim. With a name like that what could go wrong? A particular treat for us was meeting & getting to walk for a while with Laz, the famous course designer and founder of the Barkly! Following this, and a late night debrief, the Externship ended as it so often does: hugs and farewells in a remote forest/park parking lot, with Externs and Seth reminding each other that this is not the end… it’s only the beginning of a beautiful collaboration together. Until next time — esse quam videri! *total course travel distance to date for #MD1, #MD75, & #MD76, including by truck, motorboat, ambulance, firetruck, foot, helicopter, swimming, canoe, ferry, ocean rescue beach response truck, UTV & ATV, dune ambulance/response vehicle, electric vehicle (EV), litter travel, ascending and descending rope #cwemse2024 #cwemse #expeditionary #wildernessmedicine #wildernessEMS #essequamvideri #crewnotpassengers #medicalschool #emergencymedicine #hawkventures #yesthisismedschool #thisisanthropology #thisispublichealth #trainlikeyoufight #WakeForestWildMed #barkleymarathons #appalachianmountainrescueteam #frozenheadstatepark @HawkVenture @WakeWildMed @CWEMSE

We challenged ourselves to the limits of our new knowledge and the Externs truly excelled in their roles. BRATT class got rave reviews from them!. Kudos to course faculty MD-53 Chris Davis (EX13), MD-68 Abbie Wehner (EX20), MD-1 Seth Collings Hawkins, and Chris Peluso (and especially Peluso for cooking all the meals!) Immediately upon wrapping up the course at 1500, after bidding adieu to Poplar Creek Flower Farm and Pilot Mountain, we launched for our final destination: Frozen Head State Park (TN) and medical support of The Barkley Marathons Fall Classic Ultramarathon there. Stopping on the way for food supplies at Ingles, the Externs got a little nutritional primer from Chris “Food is Fuel and Medicine” Peluso. Naanep reported “I haven’t been pimped** so hard all month!” Hahahaha… our interim destination tonight was Morganton, where we hit up perennial Externship favorite Mountain Burrito. Then we hit the sack at 2100 for a planned 0200 launch to TN. **when medical students get interrogated with questions to test their knowledge *total course travel distance to date for #MD1, #MD75, & #MD76, including by truck, motorboat, ambulance, firetruck, foot, helicopter, swimming, canoe, ferry, ocean rescue beach response truck, UTV & ATV, dune ambulance/response vehicle, electric vehicle (EV), litter travel, ascending and descending rope #cwemse2024 #cwemse #expeditionary #wildernessmedicine #wildernessEMS #essequamvideri #crewnotpassengers #medicalschool #emergencymedicine #hawkventures #yesthisismedschool #thisisanthropology #thisispublichealth #trainlikeyoufight #BRATT #BRATT2024 #WakeForest #technicalrescue #pilotmountainstatepark #poplarcreekfarm #poplarcreekflowerfarm #WakeForestWildMed #anchorbuilding #ropeskills #ropeskillsrigging #Ingles #foodismedicine #foodisfuel #barkleymarathons #frozenheadstatepark #medtwitter @HawkVenture @CWEMSE @MountainBurrito

We have a tradition of holding our graduation ceremony a few days before actual graduation, since the final weekend is so jam-full of operations and adventures. So tonight, on Day 26 in the Poplar Creek Farm meadow, we celebrated the amazing accomplishments of our two Externs this year, MD-75 Laura Westneat (The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) and MD-76 Bret Naanep (University of Illinois Chicago). On hand to celebrate were the entire BRATT class as well as Extern Graduates MD-53 Chris Davis (EX13), MD-62 Wooten Jones via FaceTime (EX18), MD-68 Abigail Wehner (EX20), and MD-71 Kara Hatlevoll (EX22). Cake was delivered by Den Mother & Number 1 Volunteer Kelly Collings Hawkins. During the ceremony the Externs not only receive their plaques but also get to present the Golden Carabiner Award to the person who was most significant to their learning for the month. They presented it this month to Wooten Jones, our Associate Director for Coastal Operationsm who is responsible for the amazing experience that is the #CoastalModule. Congratulations to Wooten, who was also read an awesome original haiku written by the Externs for him: The Arch Wooten Jones Hunter of deer and disease We love your bald head Even more, congratulations to Laura and Bret—you have both excelled in this challenging rotation!

Today we discussed major roles in a technical rescue incidents, learned how they move patients through high angle terrrain, worked on communication hacks, and worked on raising and lowering an attended patient, getting chased off the mountain just at the end by an incoming thunderstorm. We repositioned to the Farm for a didactic session on mountain rescue injury research from the Wilderness Medical Society scientific journal.

This training, roughly based on the nationalparkservice Basic Technical Rescue Training-East (BTRT-E), brings students through a full introduction to technical rescue and rigging in a vertical environment, with an emphasis on #medicallydirectedrescue. We were joined in this class by our friends from the Virginia Tech-Carilion Wilderness Medicine Fellowship as well as by our own Wake Forest EMS and Wilderness Medicine Fellows. The whole week will be spent training on Pilot Mountain State Park and camping at the Farm. A great start to a great course, developed and run by MD-53 Chris Davis (EX13) and WFU faculty Chris Peluso! *total course travel distance to date for #MD1, #MD75, & #MD76, including by truck, motorboat, ambulance, firetruck, foot, helicopter, swimming, canoe, ferry, ocean rescue beach response truck, UTV & ATV, dune ambulance/response vehicle, electric vehicle (EV), litter #cwemse2024 #cwemse #expeditionary #wildernessmedicine #wildernessEMS #essequamvideri #crewnotpassengers #medicalschool #emergencymedicine #hawkventures #yesthisismedschool #thisisanthropology #thisispublichealth #trainlikeyoufight #BRATT #BRATT2024 #WakeForest #technicalrescue #pilotmountainstatepark #poplarcreekfarm #poplarcreekflowerfarm #WakeForestWildMed #medtwitter @HawkVenture @CWEMSE @VTMed @UNCEM

It was an epic day of training culminating in a full-on SAR mission, run from call-out to conclusion of patient patient and delivery to front-country EMS. The whole day was fantastic, and could not have succeeded without the huge support of our instructors and partners, including the U.S. Forest Service, wpcc_pioneers, raggededgesolutions, cultivateclimbing, and course co-directors Justin Doroshenko and Seth Collings Hawkins. *total course travel distance to date for #MD1, #MD75, & #MD76, including by truck, motorboat, ambulance, firetruck, foot, helicopter, swimming, canoe, ferry, ocean rescue beach response truck, UTV & ATV, dune ambulance/response vehicle, electric vehicle (EV) #cwemse2024 #cwemse #expeditionary #wildernessmedicine #wildernessEMS #essequamvideri #crewnotpassengers #medicalschool #emergencymedicine #hawkventures #yesthisismedschool #thisisanthropology #thisispublichealth #cwemssummit #cwemssummit2024 #usfs #pisgahnationalforest #uppercreekfalls #WEMS #SAR #raggededgesolutions #cultivateclimbing #wpcc #pisgahnationalforest @CWEMSE @HawkVenture @WPCC_Pioneers @UNC #medtwitter #trainlikeyoufight

We were particularly privileged to be joined by the national medical director and EMS director of the U.S. Forest Service, who joined us for this event held in Pisgah National Forest! After this 100% hands-on training, we all returned to Steel Creek Park and Campground for Boulevard Barbeque, drinks, catching up with old friends, making new friends, and mentoring and grey/parallel/hidden curriculum work deep into the night!

Led by world-class instructors and WEMS authorities like Chris Davis, Justin Doroshenko, Michelle Curry, Ben Abo, and Jim Chimiak, we explored a wide range of medical topics in this wilderness EMS continuing medical education experience credentialed by the Wilderness Medical Society. The Seminar this year was attended by every EMS Fellow and Wilderness Medicine Fellow in the state of NC, who are the primary target audience. But we were also delighted to include paramedics, nurses, medical students, and resident physicians this year. After the training we repositioned to Hillman Beer - Morganton for more opportunities to connect and explore wilderness EMS topics in a more relaxed setting. Another great CWEMS Seminar is in the history books! *total course travel distance to date for #MD1, #MD75, & #MD76, including by truck, motorboat, ambulance, firetruck, foot, helicopter, swimming, canoe, ferry, ocean rescue beach response truck, UTV & ATV, dune ambulance/response vehicle, electric vehicle (EV) #cwemse2024 #cwemse #expeditionary #wildernessmedicine #wildernessEMS #essequamvideri #crewnotpassengers #medicalschool #emergencymedicine #hawkventures #yesthisismedschool #thisisanthropology #thisispublichealth #cwemsseminar #cwemsseminar2024 @WildMedSociety @AlamoCityEM @DiversAlert @USFSRegion8 @forestservice @HawkVenture @CWEMSE

MD-75 Laura Westneat spent the morning interviewing for Wilderness Medicine Fellowship (good luck Laura!) while MD-76 Bret Naanep, quite remarkably, ran the Linville Gorge Loop in the morning. This is 22 grueling mountainous miles, folks, and Bret whipped it off like it was nothing, and showed up to lunch with his characteristic shrug and humble grin. This guy is remarkable. We spent the afternoon watching “Contagion” as part of our zoonoses training (and with a nod to Dr. Lydia Light’s UNC Charlotte Zoonoses class), and then got Zoom-based training on fumaroles and Oregon mountain rescue from MD-60 Jenna Wiley (EX16) and Pearce Beissinger. We raced off from there to our Burke County Rescue Squad SAR meeting, after which we got to catch 90 minutes of amazing envenomation lecturing from MD-5 Ben Abo (EX11).

Under the tutelage of professional swiftwater rescue instructors Graham Neville and Ryan Smith, they learned both theory and practice around technical skills in rescuing patients from swiftwater environments. We then regrouped at Reptile Cantina for debrief and plans for the Externship endgame over the final week and a half to come! *total course travel distance to date for #MD1, #MD75, & #MD76, including by truck, motorboat, ambulance, firetruck, foot, helicopter, swimming, canoe, ferry, ocean rescue beach response truck, UTV & ATV, dune ambulance/response vehicle, electric vehicle (EV) #cwemse2024 #cwemse #expeditionary #wildernessmedicine #wildernessEMS #essequamvideri #crewnotpassengers #medicalschool #emergencymedicine #hawkventures #yesthisismedschool #thisisanthropology #thisispublichealth #swiftwaterrescue #swiftwaterrescuetraining #waterrescue #waterrescuetraining #reptilecantina #medtwitter

Learning how massive an operation this is, sustained entirely by volunteer time and skills, was an incredible learning experience. This is the sort of thing that doesn’t land in a PowerPoint presentation, but is best understood and appreciated experientially. From there the Externs repositioned to South Mountains State Parks to train and respond in the largest state park in North Carolina. They patrolled the park by ATV and foot. We are indebted to Ranger Ian Magill for spending the afternoon teaching us about SAR and wilderness EMS in remote areas of NC. The Externs then returned to Morganton and the cultural experience that is Little Guatemala for dinner and debriefing. Another great day! *total course travel distance to date for #MD1, #MD75, & #MD76, including by truck, motorboat, ambulance, firetruck, foot, helicopter, swimming, canoe, ferry, ocean rescue beach response truck, UTV & ATV, dune ambulance/response vehicle, electric vehicle (EV) #cwemse2024 #cwemse #expeditionary #wildernessmedicine #wildernessEMS #essequamvideri #crewnotpassengers #medicalschool #emergencymedicine #hawkventures #yesthisismedschool #ncparks #thisisanthropology #thisispublichealth #southmountains #southmountainsstatepark #littleguatemala #littleguatemalamorganton #burkerescue #burkerescuesquad #burkesar #neighborshelpingneighbors #medtwitter @NCparks @burkerescue #SOMO @CWEMSE @HawkVenture

They headed back west to Durham and a didactic session at Divers Alert Network. There they learned about the international work DAN does to prevent and manage diving injury and illness, toured the facility, and got to work with DAN international medical director Jim Chimiak. The remainder of the day was spent on stops in the Piedmont (including the Eno River!), completing precourse materials for the upcoming Landmark Learning Wilderness Swim Safety class tomorrow, and checking out the Morganton Historic Festival! Also there may have been another visit to Fonta Flora Brewery and Ono Poke Bowl, rapidly becoming the 2024 Externship hangout… *total course travel distance to date for #MD1, #MD75, & #MD76, including by truck, motorboat, ambulance, firetruck, foot, helicopter, swimming, canoe, ferry, ocean rescue beach response truck, UTV, dune ambulance/response vehicle #cwemse2024 #cwemse #expeditionary #wildernessmedicine #wildernessEMS #essequamvideri #crewnotpassengers #medicalschool #emergencymedicine #hawkventures #yesthisismedschool #ncparks #outerbanks #jockeysridgestatepark #dan #diversalertnetwork #divemedicine #SCUBA #SCUBAdiving #enoriverstatepark #HistoricMorgantonFestival #onopokebowl #fontaflorabrewery @FontaFloraBrew @CWEMSE @HawkVenture
