WMS Elective Day 19 & 20

Cave beforeDay 19 --

Everyone split-up today and went different directions enjoying the beautiful weather.  Some went bordering, others hung-out at camp and enjoyed the sunshine while others went for a hike on Rainbow Trail almost getting to Mt. LeConte.  The snow became knee deep and thus they had to turn around but they really enjoyed the beautiful views.

I on the other-hand went home to do laundry and rested for most of the day.

Day 20 - 

On the way inToday we went to The Lost Sea and did the wild cave tour.  It was great fun.  Our guide, Shane, was really enjoyable and really tailored the tour for our group.  It was funny to hear him really enjoy having a tour of adults rather then children.  The lake in the cave is huge.  In the 70's they went diving with sonar and couldn't identify any walls or floor.  Thus the floor is deeper then 3500 ft and the back wall is farther then 3500 ft.  That is a huge cavern.

Small holeAfter finishing we went to a place call Joe's for the best burgers in Sweatwater, TN.  The burgers were really good.  They were really good.

Well that's all for now, enjoy the pics.

WMS Day 18 - Finale

Where we had all our lecturesAll good things must come to an end and certainly the lectures went out with a bang.  We had 3 lectures spanning from 8am to 4:30 pm with 3 breaks (one for lunch).  It was a marathon session but very interesting.  The lectures were over Space Medicine, Toxicology (i.e. venomous and poisonous animals) and making a Wilderness Medical Kit.  It became one of our first beautifully sunny days and during our few breaks we made sure to enjoy it.  All the pictures of us today were on the front porch of Tipton Lodge where we had all our lectures and was the headquarters of all our scenarios.

WMS Day 16 & 17 - Random facts and the final scenarios

Long dayDay 16 was a day full of lectures as will be day 18.  Day 17 was our final day of scenarios.  The posts are a day late and a bit short in content because as a camp we exceeded the daily bandwidth allotment and I didn't take time yesterday to write.  Yep, no internet yesterday so I couldn't post anything about Day 16 or 17.  It made me lazy :).

On day 16 we had lectures for a bunch of different topics.  We learned about Dive Medicine, a recent medical trip to Haiti, preparing to lead a wilderness expedition, making a medical kit and lots of random facts.  Some of the most intriguing were from the dive medicine lectures.  Did you know:

WMS Day 15 - Good to be back

Please note all the injuries are simulated (i.e. no real blood).

All injuries are simulated - except being coldAfter a long weekend we are starting our final week of lectures and scenarios.  The month has flown by and it is starting to sink in that we are finishing up.  Only 3 more days after today and so far the course has been great and I'm sad to see it ending.  I've met a bunch of great individuals and have learned a tremendous amount about wilderness medicine.
