What I’ve Been Up To?
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to let everyone know that I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth and I certainly haven’t quit Video/Blogging. This was a really wild week with one of my partners at ProCPR.org getting married this weekend. The summer is usually a bit slower in the training arena but not this year! We had one of our busiest training summers yet. I’m excited to say that the team and I have got some pretty exciting opportunities that we are going to launch this Fall.
These activities combined with some really incredible questions coming from you have all added up to a very full and exciting Fall season. My friends at Rescue 3 have asked me to help in the area of Triage Training for Laypersons. This is a great question and I’m taking a little extra time adapting what is normally training for professional rescuers into an easy to understand format for the volunteer Good Samaritan that may happen to be on a scene where there are multiple patients, like the horrible crash in the Mojave Desert races.
So, I’ll be back at it soon and I can’t wait to talk again soon.
Best Wishes,
Roy
