[Ansteorra-chirurgeon] Ansteorra-chirurgeon Digest, Vol 14, Issue 2

[Carolle M. Cox]

Welcome!

You are welcome to explore our website at www.chirurgeon.net.  It will
probably answer a whole lot of your questions.

Chirurgeons are, in essence, First Aid volunteers.  We attend events, just
as every one else does, but a good part of our 'play' is to watch over the
fighters and everyone else, help with injuries as needed, help the
waterbearers keep everyone from dehydration, etc. 

To become a Chirurgeon, you would need to fill out and application form (on
the website, I think), mail it to me together with copies of your First Aid
and CPR certifications (EMT covers First Aid) and your Texas/Oklahoma driver
license.  All of that in place, you'd become a "Chirurgeon in Training" and
would need to work directly with a Chirurgeon (not another Citrate events
where you choose to.  In time, you would be made a Chirurgeon.  The length
of time depends on a lot of things, including your skill at basic first aid
response, your willingness to stuff water down sometimes grumpy fighters,
and your 'bedside manner' as it were.  A lot of this depends on the
evaluations of those Chirurgeons you work with.  

Hope this helps some,

I am new to the sca and to your list, just thought I'd say hello.  I am 
a emt-I working here in san antonio and participating with the 
bjornsborg group, I am wondering what is involved in helping with 
chirurgeon duties?  Thank you for your time.
