The Robert T. White School of Nursing has asked me to help them move their SimMan mannequin tomorrow. It is moving from the old school to the new school and this thing costs $65,000.
So the plan is, this dummy is on the third floor and weighs about as much as a real human, there is no elevator. It will be a teaching moment for the students though. Kyle and I will backboard and immobilize him using nursing students to do most of the work. Once down on the main floor he will be secured to the cot and loaded into the ambulance. Enroute to the new school the mannequin's condition will crash and they will have to resuscitate him using the car's equipment. Kyle will be driving and I will be proctoring them and catching them if they get thrown. I think it will be a great learning experience for them. We will post pictures tomorrow.
