We are charging through our last week of class in Costa Rica. Yesterday we completed instruction in management of geriatric patients and spent the rest of the day down at the river rescuing a climber with suspected rhabdomyolysis who had been hanging in his climbing harness for 24 hours, treating a marathoner with heat stroke, and getting a drowned patient out of a shallow river crossing.
Last night our Medical Director, Dr. Greg Moore, arrived. He'll be with us for three days sharing knowledge from 35 years of emergency medicine and 10 years of travels with us to Costa Rica.
