This afternoon, unit W-2 responded to Indian Staircase to treat an individual who suffered a medical issue, fell, and sustained a serious injury resulting in significant blood loss. We worked with @wolfecountysar to evacuate the patient using a @skedco and technical rope techniques.

Congratulations to our own Dr. Jeff Thurman, MD, FAWM, for his appointment as Local Emergency Medical Advisor (LEMA) to the Daniel Boone National Forest and Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. In this role, Dr. Thurman will serve as physician medical director for USFS medical programs in Kentucky.

What makes our agency unique? Specialized equipment, knowledge, and tactics allow us to bring hospital-level care to patients anywhere in the Red River Gorge, from pain management for broken bones to life-saving field surgical procedures. The "STAR" in our name is an acronym for "Special Treatment, Access, and Rescue". We're the RRG's full-spectrum Advanced Life Support emergency medical service, working with our SAR, @ky_state_police , and @kentuckyguard partners.
