Today was my first solo medical cover and it turned out to be GREAT! Great I tell you!!
Firstly, the driving instructor came late and thx to that I'd enough time to catch some ZZZs before I head out.
Frankly, I was kinda nervous as it was my 1st solo cover and 2nd overall cover, which meant that if anything were to happened, I'd panic...
Thankfully though, it wasn't even a platoon level exercise, juz a group of 8 driver trainees undergoing their off-road, cross country driving assessment at Lorong Asrama.
The first thing I did was SOP: Open up stretcher... and the next thing was to treat this trainee who was complaining of headache/drowsiness. I'd inkling that he was ck-ing but wth, just gave him panadol and rest.. After all, wut else can I do (and want to do)
When the instructor for the safety rover wanted to do a recce before the event started, I'd ask for a tag-along and it was WORTH IT... Driving off road is damn shiok... It's like being in those war films and u're in a jeep driving way way way fast trying to outrun smth... Fking fun man...
But it was a lousy trade-off.. for that 15 min of joy ride, I had to sit around and wait until their exercise was over 7 hours later... Zzz..
To put it short, I kinda enjoyed my first cover and will certainly look forward to the next one in a few weeks...
Few weeks... Damn, that's all I'd have left in sg...
