We're creating this thread as a place for medics planning on attending WRFF 2014 and plugging in to the medical team to introduce themselves and their skill sets, certifications, etc., and to coordinate with one another prior to coming to the event. So please utilize this space to do so. Thanks!

Hello! My name is Sam/i and I hope to contribute to the overall safety of the space that we will use this year at wrff! A little introduction: I am certified as a advanced remote first aid provider, this means I am trained in all of the basics of firstaid, cpr, AED, but that I have extensive training in trauma and medical evaluation/ care. It also means that I can administer oxygen. The remote aspect is emphasis in improvised care/ medicine in the event of injury that requires immediate care, but resources or first aid supply is limited or in the event that a person is in critical condition but is an hour or more away from a care provider of greater skill level.
Hmm that was a lot of medical information.
I also have experience in support with people effected by ptsd, assault, and alcoholism.
I am also a gender queer faggy person who is malesocialized and would be happy to have conversation around the issue and importance of comfort and safety between the medical team or whatever cooler name we come up with and anyone who we happen to provide care for! I know that there is already a separate camp forming for womyn, trans*, non gender conforming/ non binary people, queers, gender queer people and that this camp has a call out for folks with experience in support and care in mental and psychological health, ptsd, assault, etc.
I think it is good and necessary for us to beable to coordinate with folks in the overall camp who will contribute in that way for sake of safe practice in the event that our designated but often falsely separated skill in the binaries of physical/mental health overlap (which as we know happens often)
Anywayyyy I'm stoked on this event and am excited to listen to and hear others ideas/ experience/ skills/
<3 Sami
