SYNOPSIS: GERMAN AND AMERICAN MEDICS RUN THROUGH REALISTIC, TACTICAL MEDICAL RESPONSE TRAINING

Suggested Lead: Talented artists help provide a high level of realism for German and American medics.

SCRIPT FOR CC:

We train as we fight; simulating combat stressors. With the current level of…realism supported by…makeup? Well, it’s more than simple makeup. A professional effects team prepped the simulated battlefield. Hayley Young with Trauma Effects talks about getting ready for the unexpected.
SB: ‘Cause we’ve been doing it a quite a long time, every job’s different so sometimes we come up against challenges we know that things can change last minute as well so that if we ever have more casualty actors to make up or more role players – we can work that out/ timing and that are quite important/there’s always way around things.
The history goes back as far back as the Renaissance period, moulage comes from the French mouler or molde; of which wax impressions of anatomy and injuries were cast for studies and training.
In today’s setting, it’s being used to train our medical personnel. According to 30th Med BDE Clinical Ops NCOIC, Rakeena Lipkins, the Medshock event is designed to test skills under pressure.
SB: The goal is to shock the unit with all kinds of medical scenarios – to have them treat patients and see the flow of care and track their medical treatment and those types of things. We brought the medical injects to the event; so all of the medical simulation that took place for the event – we’re the ones who gave the scenarios that shock the unit.
The casualties are covered in simulated dirt and blood and gore. American and German medics roll out – in preparation for a worst case scenario that uses a high level of realism.
It’s a good thing this is only training. SGT Jesse Untalan, Wiesbaden Germany.
