Ok...ok maybe the scenario was little drammatic, but it could happen right. Eversince a series of 'man-made' and natural disasters that has hit the country in quick successions, the Accident & Emergency department with co-operation from various other specialties are preparing ourselves for the worst case scenario. One of the objectives is to ensure that the medical services are prepared and able to cope if a Major Medical Event (MME) was to happen.
This mini-drill was just to demonstrate the chain command during such an activation, the role of allied professional like radiographers, labs, security, paramedics, nurses and the deloyment of medical personels to the disaster area. The casualties are professional actors... ok ok we borrowed the staff nurse that was working later that day in the afternoon duty, but thanks Norazli.
Doctors Mess Club along with it's NEW committee members participated in this exercise that was organised earlier today and with support from the military made the casualties look more realistic. Well done boys & girls, and special thanks to Act SSN Hjh Nora, Dr Ang (HoD A&E), SN Norazli for their big role in todays exercise.

Neo,
