I now don't remember where I saw this, nor can I find it... but I swear I had seen something in the past week or two comparing how much retraining different medical professions needed to quickly get useful for staffing ventilator technology, and veterinarians came out on top; so like, people are (unless I dreamth this?!) looking into reusing people.
- SkyPuncher 7y agoVeterinarians make sense. The ones that do surgery already know how to run vents on animals. Humans are a form of animal, after all.
- jacquesm 7y agoThat's a better idea, also, veterinarians tend to be much more all-round.
- thu2111 7y agoYou didn't dream it, it was in Forbes. The US did a disaster prep simulation for virulent flu, that involved a shortage of ventilator scenarios. They took people with something approximating medical backgrounds, including nurses, other kinds of docs and vetinarians, and gave them training in how to use a ventilator. After two days they were given a test and the vets had the best score.
