Its actually really sweet with them talking up the ‘groms’

But yeah the sucking on the whistle bit concerned me.

We are taught not to hold it for them they must be able to self administer it. Its a S4 drug and holding it themselves means they wont take too much of it,

But I did find it interesting how they were all - lets not move him… lets just let the ambos do it (nothing at all wrong with that but we rarely have that luxury! So just different) and then that the lifeguards or the ambo didn’t have an appropriate splinting device. and used a cardboard box.

Again not criticisim.

But i tell you… you should buy the raffles tickets sold by voli patrol on the mountain cause thats what it buys, splits to make the ride easier on the injured down the mountain!
