PENNSIC WAR 39 - Chirurgeons' Point

First Aid Point

Chirurgeon in Charge - Master James "Hawk" Galloway

Greetings! I'm Hawk, your Chirurgeon in Charge for this year. Hopefully, you won't need to meet me or my staff on a professional basis, but we are here if you need us.

If you do need us, we are located at the corner of Brewer's Road and St. Lawrence Way. Our "business hours" are from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. EMS will be available at the point 24 hours a day, and can also be accessed by dialing 911, and notifying dispatch that you are at Cooper's Lake Campground, in Slippery Rock Township.

Volunteers

If you are a warranted chirurgeon and would like to volunteer, please stop by with the required paperwork, and we'll get you up and running.
If you are not a warranted chirurgeon, and would like to work a shift towards becoming warranted, please stop in.
. We are only accepting apprentices who have already been approved to become a chirurgeon through their Kingdom Chirurgeon. If your Kingdom Chirurgeon is on site, and will approve you on site, then that works too.

Treating Minors

Minors cannot be treated for non life-threatening injuries unless a parent or court-appointed legal guardian is physically present and gives consent. Waivers to treat minors that have been signed in advance are not valid in the state of Pennsylvania and will not be accepted.

Suggestions for a safe and healthy Pennsic:

Hydrate often with non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic liquids.
Apply sunscreen often.
Dress appropriately for different weather conditions.
On cold nights, wear a cap to bed to reduce heat loss through your scalp.
Wear sturdy and comfortable footgear with ankle support (especially important for combatants)
Carry emergency medications with you.
Sanitize, sanitize, sanitize; this includes food preparation and frequent hand-washing.
Keep lids closed on toilets to discourage disease-carrying flies.

Plan ahead, bring plenty of any current medications you need, and drink plenty of water. While we welcome you to stop by First Aid Point, we prefer a social call over business.
