Waterbearing / Chirurgeonate

Emergency First Aid
There will be first aid available at Quad War. First aiders, called Chirurgeons, will provide modern first aid at the level of standard first aid only. This first aid will be provided free of charge to all who request it and is done in the spirit of the Good Samaritan laws or equivalent. Any illness or injury that requires a skill level above and beyond that of basic first aid will be referred to advance medical care, outside the SCA.

The symbol of the Chirurgeons is the fleam, a medieval bloodletting device.

Members of the Chirurgeonate include Red Cross or St. John Ambulance-trained first aid volunteers, medical professionals, paramedics, nurses and St. John Ambulance volnuteers. Whatever their everyday experience, they all have satisfied the SCA that they are familiar with providing first aid within the cultural context of the SCA.

What Should I Do If I Need Emergency Assistance?
When you attend SCA events, and have a first aid kit available in your encampment, you’ll probably be able to treat small camping incidents yourself.

If you want or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to seek out a member of the event staff to have a chirurgeon called.

You may drive yourself to a medical facility of your own volition. A small list of medical facilities appear at the bottom of this page.

Please have a list of all your medications, including prescription and non-presciption medications.

ALL Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. THE SCA CANNOT TREAT MINORS WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN. Treatment cannot begin until the parent is present, unless the minor is experiencing a life-threatening emergency.

Carry completed a copy of the Medical Authorization Form AND proof of Temporary Guardianship with you at all times if you are serving as guardian for someone else’s minor. The chirurgeons cannot treat the child/minor without seeing this paperwork.
