DONATE
Posted on January 10, 2017
FEPAG once again offered its pristine medical assistance to the devotees of the annual Translacion of the Black Nazarene. This year they were situated beside the San Sebastian Church.
The team was divided into three shifts, one shift was from twelve midnight up unitl seven in the morning, the second shift was from seven to three in the afternoon and the last shift took over the three up until the subject gets back to the church - which is usually around three in the morning the next day. The day started out slow with little to no patients coming to their station mainly because the subject was still too far from their location. They treated the usual minor trauma related injuries like scrapes and bruises on the lower extremeties. But as time progressed, so did the number of patients - more serious cases came at around midnight, when the subject passed by their location. Major medical and trauma cases like difficulty of breathing, fainting, and joint or bone dislocations flooded their medic stations.
At the end of the day, the team managed to treat and transport all the patients accordingly without that much of a problem. The team officially disengaged at around three in the morning the next day. They were exhausted but at the same time fulfilled to have been able to serve not only the devotees but ultimately God as well.
