First let me say my college has EMS Academy, EMT, First Responder, Paramedic Academy, Police Academy, Corrections Academy all on one campus.
I was TA'ing for a First Responder class when a Police Cadet comes running into class and says we got a cadet down in at the firing range.
The Teaher says: Is this for real.
Cadet: Yes!
Teacher: This is not a Scenario?
Cadet: No!
I looked at the students in the class and everyone had shock written on their faces ... lol
The teacher said... "Okay class dismissed.... but if you want to come watch, you are more then welcome to but just stay out of the way".
My teacher (a 25 year paramedic) and I grab a 5min bag and walk over to the firing rage and find a 20 y/o female cadet supine on the floor.
The teacher (who was my old EMT teacher) looked at me and said get vitals.
So after getting vitals and giving o2 via NRB and doing a rapid assessment. (No GSW). He checked her blood-glucose levels... BINGO.
At this time she had started to come to. I guess he decided she was conscious enough to get oral glucose.
About the time Fire and EMS arrived, she was fully conscious A&O X4, and agreed to go to the hospital.
It made for great discussion in the next class.
