A current saber sport, LARP medic and former EMT will talk about how to prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies in areas that are more than 10 minutes from help where every second counts.
Description:
LARPs and other events like them tend to take place in an areas that are outside regular response zones for EMS. In some rural areas volunteer EMS response can be up to an hour away. So what are you going to do if one of your players or friends has an allergic response to lunch, or a bee sting? What if someone fell down a hill and is unconscious? The seconds and minutes immediately following these events are the most valuable to survival. In this 2 hour workshop, 1.5 hours will be devoted to going over the most common injuries/incidents and proper response, and the last half hour will be devoted to some practice. While this won't turn you into a emergency response expert, it should give you some basic tools to help you the next time something goes wrong.
