Hoist AAR Part 1

09/06/21 • 52 min

We begin with a remembrance of our fallen Navy comrades.
Today's episode is the start of our second AAR series. We talk with Joel, an Army flight medic who conducted a hoist mission in combat. His experience is important for several reasons, not least of which because we have a very frank discussion of what can happen when hoist training and maintenance is de-prioritized.

College of Remote and Offshore Medicine

Aebhric O’Kelly from the College of Remote and Offshore Medicine joins Max and Morgan to discuss medical training and education for austere settings. CoROM is a unique educational institution with many military alumni. Aebhric discusses opportunities at CoROM, including some important information on the number of credits required to apply (hint: you probably already have enough). The conversation progresses to austere critical care pearls, the importance of knowing how to treat disease and non-battle injury, and what is arguably the greatest medical mnemonic ever: SHEEPVOMIT.
CoROMs website is at corom.edu.mt, and they are active on social media as well.
