Speaker 2: Get a Craig, Good morning, madey, how are you well?

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: Thank you friend. We've had a busy weekend, or should

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 2: say paramedics have had a busy weekend. You've been out

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 2: at the Madaranka camp draft, is that right?

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, has been very very busy across territory at

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Madearraineer was probably the hot spot of the weekend with

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: the big camp draft going on. There a lot of

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: people there and a lot of things happening with our

13
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: volunteers and paramedics down there looking after everyone.

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: Sounds like one of those incidents a three year old

15
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: male fell onto hot coals and burned the palm of

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: his hand.

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, look that's my understanding at the moment on Friday night,

18
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: I believe a bit of a burn elvesie nasty and

19
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: nothing worse for a three year old boy that burns

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: for the hand. So yeah, look, paramedics treated that little

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: boy along with the owner health clinic and got him

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: back to the Cavertan Hospital where he is being treated

23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: and looked after.

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: What would be the immediate advice for someone in that situation.

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: I mean, we hope that we'd certainly never find ourselves

26
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: in that position, But if we're talking burn injuries onto

27
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: hot coals, what would be the first point of action there?

28
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, it's always cool, you don't cool the burn area,

29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: and then obviously once you've been up to cool it

30
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: down in shore, you cover it up until you get

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: the appropriate treatment that you need from your local health

32
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: clinic or the use of paramedicship required.

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: On Saturday in the Douglas Daily Region, a three car crash,

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: one person taken to Royal Dalen Hospital. Yeah.

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 1: Look, it's strained out in the middle of nowhere. There

36
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: are three cars colliding and a number of people involved

37
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: in that. I believe there may have been off duty

38
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: paramedic out in that area at the time and came

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: across this incident. And my understanding is we did transport

40
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: one person back into Dawn for treatment at the hospital and.

41
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: Then a short time later and Hayes Craig g this

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: one's scarier. Forty year old mail was rock climbing and

43
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: fell some eight meters Craig.

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the advice. I've had really nice area out

45
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: the Hayes Creek in the back of the old pub there,

46
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: and I believe a lot of people obviously use that

47
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: to walk through and climb, and from my understanding it

48
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: was about eight meter fall. I had a number of

49
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: nasty fractures involved in that, and with careful what we

50
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: coordinated for them to get out there in the helicopter

51
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: and get him back into Roldne Hospital where I'm sure

52
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: he's recovering and probably had a bit of surgery to

53
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: try and fix those broken bones up.

54
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cronk, he's eight meters. That is a big fall.

55
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: Back to Mattawanker. On Saturday afternoon, a forty seven year

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: old Maile thrown from a horse at the camp draft.

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Again, Yeah, kept the guys busy out there, and a

58
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: number of injuries, as you sort of expect from some

59
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: of these camp drafts and rodeos in particular. But yeah,

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: forty seven year old male I believe may have had

61
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: a fractured shoulder of some sort and has been brought

62
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: back to Catherine to be treated. In the Cathrone Hospital.

63
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: There Sunday evening that closer to home in Larakia, a

64
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: car versus scooter incident.

65
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: Craig, Yeah, we had one of our intensive care paramedic

66
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: on scene there and my understanding as a person there

67
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: has collided while riding a scooter with the car and

68
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: has broken their ankle and required to go to the hospital.

69
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: I did see in the paper today some stuff in

70
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: regard to the East Scooters. I'm not sure that this

71
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: was an EES scooter or not, but yeah, I think

72
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: in third party insurance or something going on with the

73
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: East Scooters.

74
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did note that as well. I think, yeah,

75
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: they've gone above and beyond their insurance liabilities or the

76
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: minimum threshold that they have to meet. So I guess

77
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: that's some good news there. But sadly, we are almost

78
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: on a weekly basis here of whether this case was

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: one of the high ones or not. But almost on

80
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: a weekly basis we do here of E scooter accidents.

81
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, make you right. And there's some classic YouTube videos

82
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: out there of people who have had the misfortune of

83
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: Rhino scooters and people have called it on camera, So yeah,

84
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: be careful and you're using them, be responsible and enjoy,

85
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: enjoy the scooters for what they are absolutely.

86
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: Just finally, Craig, before you go, I know we've got

87
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: a busy dry season ahead. It's already started, many visitors

88
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 2: in town, and we know some of your wonderful paramedics

89
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: and volunteers are at a number of those major events

90
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: throughout the dry season.

91
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at places buzzing along. Alice Springs is buzzing

92
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: and Darlin's buzzing, and look we've got paramedics and volunteers

93
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: attending events everywhere the dry season. You know, it's a

94
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: thriving period of our time and it just really takes

95
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: our time up with all those events. And it's great

96
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: to have our volunteers going out and supporting the community

97
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: and ensuring these events are able to be taking part in.

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: So you guys do a wonderful job. And as you

99
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 2: mentioned now, a lot of them at these events are volunteers. Now, Craig,

100
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: I'm just looking at the list of incidents you got

101
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: called to this weekend. As far as I can see,

102
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: nothing at the Nunamar Rodeo though.

103
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: No, we had volunteers and paramedies out there as well,

104
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: and nothing too serious occurred there from my understanding, but

105
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: apparently booked out that event, like most of the events

106
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: around at the moment, everything booked out and great crowd

107
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: out there is my understanding.

108
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 2: That is great news. Do you think if there was

109
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: ever a place that someone could get injured or require

110
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: some medical assistance, a rodeo would be at the top

111
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: of the list.

112
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. There's so much that can go

113
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: wrong there. You've got bulls, you got horses, you got yeah,

114
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: a lot of things that just could go wrong. But

115
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: great event. That's rodeo at Munama and they get a

116
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: great crowd.

117
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: I know you said rodeo. There are you a rodeo

118
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: or rodeo man?

119
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: Rodeo rodeo?

120
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: iiO rodea Derby Derby, Tomato Tomato.

121
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: It's all the same, all the same. At the end

122
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: of the day, everyone knows what I was talking about.

123
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: I reckon exactly. No confusion there. Oh, good on you, Craig.

124
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 2: You guys do a wonderful job. Another busy weekend and
