A drill held at Manavgat State Hospital within the scope of the Hospital Disaster Plan featured scenes that were nearly indistinguishable from reality. In the exercise conducted to prepare for potential disasters and emergencies, individuals injured in an accident according to the scenario were brought to the hospital, and emergency service teams implemented triage and intervention processes.
Doctors, nurses, healthcare workers, and security guards took part in the drill, which was carried out in an area set up in the hospital courtyard. The process of bringing the injured by ambulance, placing them on stretchers, and providing emergency intervention was reenacted by the teams.
The drill was marked by the performance of two hospital employees who played the roles of patient relatives. As the staff playing the relatives of the injured got caught up in their roles according to the scenario, the security guards had a difficult time. It was observed that some security guards sustained scratches on their necks during the scuffle.
THEY EVEN CHANGED THEIR DIALECTS
It was also noted that the staff acting as patient relatives in the drill changed their dialects to perform their roles. One staff member, playing a father whose son was seriously injured in an accident, lamented, "My son, my dark-browed lamb. What will I tell your mother now, oh my lamb. I brought you into this world after 17 years, oh my child. Someone call my wife, let my wife come. I received this news while picking olives. What will I tell your mother, oh my child."
The hospital management and healthcare teams tested coordination, patient admission, triage, and security processes in emergency situations with the drill. The exercise, which was indistinguishable from reality, aimed to measure the reflexes of both healthcare personnel and security teams during a crisis.
