I was also in the park till the very end i treated a few wounded at mc intryw as well

2017-08-15 18:15:32 UTC  

Lessons learned? @Erika @Louis Loire - NY i honestly didn't expect as much pepper spray as was there. We also need to plan an actual triage point next time, I think. What helped with the oven cleaner? Were there any Neuro symptoms with the skull fracture?

2017-08-15 18:16:33 UTC  

No just bleeding and stiches needed and rhe oven cleaner was highly toxic i had nothing and we were under fire from both cops and antifa it was a mad house

2017-08-15 18:17:03 UTC  

And yes i need to mix that stuff that Erika made my pepper spray wipes did jack shit

2017-08-15 18:17:28 UTC  

Told Nathan to not buy then again either he had the same ones

2017-08-15 18:22:58 UTC  

Is the person that got sprayed with the oven cleaner good? Seems like the best thing would be just flush with water, or vinegar (since oven cleaner is basic).

2017-08-15 18:25:07 UTC  

@Erika did you have a glucometer to check sugars, or were they just showing signs?

2017-08-15 18:52:08 UTC  

He was pretty messed up tried flushing it out he was making it worse by panicking he was the guy in the blue shirt with the black sun American flag

2017-08-15 18:52:23 UTC  

We got him out though

2017-08-15 18:52:59 UTC  

Any in eyes or airway?

2017-08-15 18:54:22 UTC  

@Erika did you treat a guy in white pants

2017-08-18 00:56:10 UTC  

@everyone if you are going to be part of a medic team at an event and need supplies, have someone (in leadership) who can confirm you will be there PM me, you also PM me, and I will get you most everything you need.

I think we learned from Cville that you can't have enough gauze rolls

2017-08-18 01:01:15 UTC  

But wait, there's more.

@Erika Your team was johnny-on-the-spot Saturday. I've wanted to commend you all for how effective and QRF you guys were. Just haven't really had the chance until now

2017-08-18 01:05:42 UTC  

ITS BEAUTIFUL

2017-08-18 01:06:12 UTC  

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL thank you. It was tough, but I think we were all happy to be there to help everyone who were in need

2017-08-18 01:06:16 UTC  

You guys were so busy and didn't want to bother you.

2017-08-18 19:18:44 UTC  

Yeah thanks again

2017-08-19 23:48:26 UTC  

I'm pretty certain I've got a minor case of plantar fasciitis. Anything I can do to quickly get back to running?

2017-08-19 23:53:06 UTC  
2017-08-20 00:41:52 UTC  

Quickly? Depends how bad

2017-08-20 00:42:18 UTC  

Freeze water bottle and roll on bottom of foot

2017-08-20 00:42:36 UTC  

Get.some nsaids to take with food

2017-08-20 00:43:17 UTC  

Get brace over the counter to sleep in to keep foot dorsiflexed

2017-08-20 00:43:45 UTC  

And stretch w a towel looped around bottom of feet

2017-08-20 00:43:59 UTC  

Of the affected.foot rather

2017-08-20 00:44:17 UTC  

Heel inserts help a bunch as well

2017-08-20 01:46:45 UTC  

What are nsiads?

2017-08-20 01:47:59 UTC  

Is there anything I can do to strengthen my foot and keep running without making it worse?

2017-08-20 01:48:21 UTC  

non steroid anti inflamatory drugs. Tylenol.

2017-08-20 01:49:40 UTC  

I had Plant Fasciatis. One method is to find a cool stream or lake with a smushy gravel bottom, and wade around in it.

2017-08-20 01:51:18 UTC  

Do a full butt-stretch. Then a hamstring stretch. Then calf stetch---In that order. Jumping ahead to the calf stretch is not advisable, because the tendons in your toes connect all the way up the back of your body, and you need to stretch the big muscles first.

2017-08-20 01:54:45 UTC  

Another method to deal with plantar fasciatis is to get some heavy wool socks. Coat them with duct tape, to make an improvised moccasin. Then walk around on pea gravel. Like with the stream-bed technique, what your are doing is breaking up the scar tissue on your foot tendons. You should also ice the feet, elevate them, and take ibuprofen. Before doing more of the pea-gravel walking.

With my case, I saw a foot doctor (podiatrist). He taught me how to tape my feet, and ordered VERY expensive shoe inserts. The 500 dollar inserts are just barely better (for my case) than are Spenco Total Support insoles. https://www.amazon.com/Spenco-Total-Support-Insoles-Womens/dp/B008CJNTI6?th=1

2017-08-20 02:12:56 UTC  

Should I lessen my running. It doesn't seem that bad. I think I just moved away from heel striking too quickly.
