i think alot of the people were scared of us, I want to get the message out that were not security and were not gonna harass them, were here to help, no matter who you are or what you may be taking or doing, I personally didnt care if people were enjoying themselves, just be responsible and if you need help, find me or another member of the medical staff.
Coco to you, roomedic, for what you do. I value the Roo medics even moreso now that Matt is no longer with us... no matter how prepared we are, you never know what can happen.
And if you're not working on Friday morning at 10am during 2011 Roo, come by the Inforoo Brunch!
I'm thankful of the folks like you at 'Roo, especially as I'm a type 1 diabetic. But I'm also very thankful I have been lucky enough not to have a personal need of your services!

I would also like to thank you for all you do I've had to use your services a few times and the staff was always quick and very friendly! Last year, I went with my girlfriend to the med tent b/c she had symptoms of heat stroke/sun poisoning. She had a wicked sunburn w/ blisters, had stopped sweating, and had blisters on her lip, needless to say, she was pretty stressed. While the staff were all very friendly and got her taken care of quickly, it made matters worse when one of the medics mentioned that the blisters on her lip were "a pretty bad case of herpes". Now, I know that there are several forms of herps that aren't std related, but the staff member didn't explain that. There are also other explanations for blisters on lips, especially in cases of sun poisoning, that the staff member didn't consider before handing out a pretty shocking diagnosis to my partner. Long story short, I'm just suggesting that the staff make sure to be gentle. Even though Bonnaroo is tons of fun, it can be stressful (as I'm sure you know), and if you're making a trip to the med tent chances are that stress is already multiplied.
^ No excuse for that. I didn't work in the tents, I roamed the venue, I knew a few co workers from my job that worked in the tents, but they wouldn't ever treat a pt like that.
Took a friend in for a sprained ankle and she was treated wonderfully by all involved. To make it even better the access folks took at look at her and gave her a band to sit up on the platform because standing was out of the question. Well done all around.
We have some amazing people that come down to work the fest, I had an amazing time last year, and I hope that I can get venue medical again so I can be out in the crowd

Roo medical staff are great. My wife has MS and in 2009 one of her meds had a reaction to the heat and she just dropped like a rock in Wilco..The staff came and got her took her back to the main tent and an MD knew exactly what to do and what the cause was. Got her up and going and rocking the weekend away. They even ran into us and asked us was everything okay and did we need anything else.
and just to add it was really meds that she was supposed to take nothing else..The little warning on the insert was read by us that going out in extreme heat could cause fainting.
I love roo, it has the best crowd to treat, i just wish people would drink more water, out of all the calls i ran over half were heat related, but i saw a variety of illnesses and conditions, bonnarash shouldnt be too hard to treat.
ok, im kind of curious, how to I get medical staff? i remember helping a girl who passed out twice during Diane Birch last year under the tent and there was no medical staff ANYWHERE, and i didnt want to just start yelling like an idiot. i ended up just dragging her out and sitting her down and giving her some water and put one of my frozen water bottles on the back of her neck and she came to. but yea, i just wish there was some kind of way to notify medi-staff when they are needed. maybe a number we can call/txt with our location and needs?
come to think of it,. i think a number you can text is a really good idea. put it in the pamphlets. "Text 585858 for medical atteantion. Please include your location on the grounds and your emergency!" Then you guys could have someone on a computer receiving these texts and dispatching out people. "Fainter, under that tent" etc

GPS flare straight panic app for Roosters who have seen one to many mornings. Could somebody write one and then it could get into the book most people have smart phones it would immediatly get medical help to the area needed and GPS with the medics could help them get exactly where they are needed without wasting time. Get the app save a life!!!!!!!

The text idea is a great one.
I had some great experiences with medics, EMTs and fellow RN's at medical tents. I do, however, have a question for you good sir. What type of medical equipment do you all have immediate availablity to you when you respond to a call "in the field" at Bonnaroo? Jump packs? O2? IV equipment?
It takes SO SO long to get a gator through the crowd to transport and a few of the calls I saw being worked would have benefited from basic run supplies (O2) and one needed more advanced support available (IV, seizure meds, monitor).
You guys are up against so much and do such a great job. I was just wondering if you have all the equipment and protocol orders you need.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
to get a member of the staff, you basically have to find someone in a red shirt of whatever color they are in 2011, basically just find someone with a staff shirt on or with a radio, they will get in contact with the dispatch staff who will then get in touch with field medics.
As a medic in a field. I have basic supplies, no o2 or iv supplies, which i plan on asking for when they send out the final info packet or when i get there, we work off of orders from the md's at the main medical tent, and within our scope of practice.
I'm a volunteer EMT & grantwriter for a small rural Tennessee fire department. I've also worked as medical staff at major events like the Boston Marathon. As such, I make it a point to check in with the medical staff every year just to see how things are going, what the trends are, etc.
You guys are a class act.
I especially value two interactions I've had with you:
1) In 2006 when one of your volunteers told me she understood that sometimes all people need is someone to talk to and help them calm them down, and
2) In 2009 when your staff up by the Other stage entrance hooked my wife up with some supplies when...ah...the moon unexpectedly changed phases on her.
I cant speak for us as a whole, but I understand why people come to this fest, I dont have a problem with the attendees having a good time, My partners were just like me, we were there to help people when they needed, if that meant giving them bottles of water, or when walking through the masses making sure people who were asleep on the ground were just that, no passed out or worse, I dont mind going above and beyond for the people at roo.
I just want people to know that they can trust us and that we want to help them. I had more people there who would come up and thank me, more than I've ever had out on the real streets.

I ended up with an ear infection in both ears, which was really awesome in general. when i went to the med tents, the people were super helpful, but it was a little ridiculous that no one had any of the supplies needed to actually fix me. i guess i'm not sure what anyone could have done.
on 2nd thought, the doctor wrote me a perscrption and i somehow got a bus to walmart from the bus driver that drove volunteers/security... it was all really odd. then i got to walmart and got my perscription, some apples, and got to use a real bathroom.
