Fun and (it's not really an over statement) life saving. And a hoot!

Scratching that creative itch..
One of the fun things about outreach is that I get to be more creative than in the US. We were unable to open the top of the antibiotic so out comes the mini-Leatherman and off goes the top. No scissors to cut the tape (there never are) so the Leatherman again. When the ambulance didn't have an IV hook (they never do as they are generally stripped of all equipment) out comes the Gerber tool. I cut off a strip of metal fence and a minute later there was the hook.

Being able to be creative is wonderful. Hope it off sets so of the frustration of ambulances stripped (that would be tempting Karma in ways I can't even begin to wrap my head around....) and the chronic lack of stuff. I'm so glad you are enjoying your outreach - it seems like a great fit.
We miss you, of course. The masters team has been adding 3 new swimmers a week, and more of us are getting good at circle swimming.
Love to you and Lynne,
