Received an email from one of the contractors this weekend that was on the Tough Mudder event in WV. He asked that I share it with everyone on Facebook: Jennifer, As a public emergency services officer, I have heard many horrific stories and seen first hand how awful some private medical teams and services have provided at events and other venues. With that said, I was kind of weary to join Amphibious Medics because I did not want to be part of a company with a bad reputation (not the you guys do) and be associated with a team that was unorganized like many private medical services are. When I arrived at work Saturday morning, I was still a little skeptical about the whole thing, that was until I got to the drop off area at the event. I was met by a team of rovers waiting to drive us up to the medical tent which would have been almost a mile walk on foot. At the medical tent, I was greeted by many new and friendly people, all of them being so welcoming and helpful. They helped me get my gear ready, explained where I was needed to provide care at, and so much more. Finally, we all set out on the cold morning to our locations (mine being the most remote). Once I was dropped off, I thought I was going to be on my own, away from the others till the day was over. All if the others working were within eyesight of each other and when they needed help, someone was there within seconds. Me, being so far, having poor radio reception, and limited supplies for the amount of participants scheduled that day, I could see I was in for a tough day. To my surprise, Jason (my area rover and the best partner Ive ever worked with) was always watching out for me. Though he was busy himself throughout the day, when I would request help, he was always there as quick as he could and was continuously checking if I needed anything. Even though most of my patients were non-priority, I did have the most priority patients throughout the whole event. Jason and the others were such a great help, when they arrived on the scenes, they did anything I needed professionally and quick. At the end of Saturdays event, I was still surprised as to how well everyone worked and the friends I had made. Today was another great success. Tiffany and myself worked so well with Jason the day before and had such a great time that we asked to stay at our same locations just to be together. I just want to say Im more than happy to be a part of the Amphibious Medics team and everyone, not just at this event, does such a wonderful job. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to be part of and work for this amazing company. Im proud to call myself an Amphibious Medic! Nick
