During my time at Sundown, I was faced with patients who were intoxicated via the means of alcohol, drugs or otherwise. I was part of an Alpha unit, which are usually situated on trucks. However, due to the size of the event we were deployed in the same way as an x-ray crew.
DR protocols were in full effect during my time. D being for Danger and R being for Response. This was due to the intoxication types we faced at the festival. Calls for ‘unresponsive’ patients were ultimately reversed and they were transported to arena or main medical depending on their level of treatment required.
