Marathon medical tent became Triage center

11. Still just stunning and bewildering.

Thanks for posting this, sheshe2!

I can't imagine the fortitude - the courage - the FOCUS - of these medical people, when all Hell was breaking loose upon them! They are heroes. Seriously. "Look for the helpers." Good advice from Mr. Rogers (and his mom)!" I'm just stunned. Still. Lo these many days later. It's just so incomprehensible what happened - and why someone(s) felt motivated to do this. And then you think of the rapid response people - how instantly they snapped to attention, how they put concerns for their own safety aside and charged ahead. After all, who knew what on earth might happen next? They just plowed forward, immediately tending to the urgent business at hand. I just marveled. Horrified. But one just stops and marvels at that. Thoroughly surreal.

I love the series "M*A*S*H" and there are so many scenes in which the cast of Army medics abruptly shifts gears and - where a second ago they were hanging out in the mess tent or busy with other activities and the minute more wounded are announced in the compound, ZOOM! There they go, zero to 60. No - zero to 600! And all business.

They are marvels. Every last one of those first responders, rapid responders, triage workers, and all the other helpers. Marvels ALL.
