The Definition, The Purpose & Expectations...

MENTAL: Intellectual process involving the mind or could also be a disorder, you be the judge...
MEDIC: Medical practitioners in the armed forces in the old days got given the nickname, it's also an old world herb of the genus Medicago, having small flowers and trifoliate leaves ie the 3 leaf clover.
MONOLOGUE: A long utterance by one person (especially one that prevents others from participating in the conversation).

In South Africa we do not have the luxury of been able to debrief often, its too busy, no this, no that, so we make do with what we have, besides one does not get the award for being the no1 trauma capital in the world for nothing! But this "little rural village" is the most diverse in the world, from one end of the spectrum to the other in sociology, physiology and criminology. Expect to be entertained, shocked, informed, empowered, touched, saddened, sickened, surprised, educated, tested, enlightened and if you are in the EMS would definitely be able to relate to the blog.

So in a nut shell it will be the method of my choice in "debriefing myself", like its needed. If a calling a spade a spade offends you then I suggest you run now, this blog will contain graphic descriptions and pictures that will shock you...

Reality as real as it gets, depicted through my eyes and sharing my experiences with you. Let your thoughts be provoked, mindsets adjusted and attitudes challenged.

Franschhoek Wine Valley Dealt Big Blow - Closure of La Motte Fire Sub Station

Last night I was informed whilst requesting back up from the local fire station for a medical emergency, that the station was no longer operational until further notice.

Reasoning:

Due to the seasonal fire fighting contracts coming to an end, Stellenbosch Fire Department is 7 staff members short. What has happened in the past is, the contractors would be split up with permanent staff to man the local La Motte Sub Station.

Solution:

I have been informed that the municipality is going to advertise for the new posts in due time, up and until those posts are filled.

As a resident of the valley, I should inform you that service delivery will be affected by longer response times in event of an fire starting and need to be more vigilant with regards to fire precautions. As owner of Medicare EMR, I can assure you from our side that we will do our best to support our community and Stellenbosch Fire whilst this dilemma is resolved. Please feel free to contact us 24hrs on 074 363 7744 should you require assistance in an emergency.

My suggestion to the community is to share this information with as many local residents and rally up support in assisting the Fire Department with pressurising the Stellenbosch Municipality in getting the positions advertised and filled as quickly as possible. Please contact me should you wish to assist in this matter. As a community we need to stand together in unity to speed up the processes and implementations of local governments service delivery.

Yours in Safety
Garth, Medicare EMR

Thought for the day...

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
