Picture Of The Day - 06 OCT 2010 "Whirlwind"

06 OCT 2010 - Whirlwind
Whirlwind of activity... a flurry of movement..controlled chaos... When wounded arrive, there is a rapid acceleration of movement with a parallel increase of helpful people. What is surprising about the whole process is the lack of noise. The team knows what to do and when to do it. You step in, do your job, and step out. It is a coordinated activity by the team leader who manages the entire process. This patient was triaged, examined, resuscitated and in the operating room within minutes. He recovered very well.
