Victims from SK and #JamesSmithCreeNation were taken to hospitals in Melfort and Nipiwin. These two rural hospitals also managed the victims of the Humbolt Broncos crash.

My ❤️ goes out not only to the victims and families but also to the HCW once again doing the impossible
For those who don’t have a mental picture of what mass casualties in #RuralMedicine and rural communities look like, a thread from that incident

Whats rural medicine like?
- There's a heat wave + boil water advisory at the same time.
- Hospital is almost up to 30, AC can't keep up.
- None of the typical equipment to treat heat stroke so we've started storing a IV fluids in a mini fridge.
- Internet in the clinic is down, staff can't access the records.
- Had to sedate (for an hour!) And treat a motorcycle crash as the only MD yst.
- Ice machine is broken in the hospital, can be a big deal with this heat.
- I've started wearing shorts and sandals to the ED.
- And of course there's a huge shortage of MDs, nurses, and all other hospital staff with surprisingly 0 relationship to summer vacay!
