Update...
Long time nv blog le...
Some updates, went for standard chartered marrathon as a helper recently. Being posted as a medic stretcher bearer, i had to station near the finishing line to "catch" those tired-out runners to the medic tents. Ard the first 2hrs, our job tend to be relaxed as the top few runners started to run in. However, during the third hour nightmare started to come, when crowds and crowds of runners came in, casulties starts to increase and our only wheelchair is not enough. We had to use the backup stretcher to carry the injured to the medic in group of 4. It is not easy as you think, my first try was "ouch". My back and shoulder is aching when i and the other 3 helper carried a female ard 70kg to the medic tent.
70/4=17.5kg, each of us nid to carry ard 17.kg of weight and she was feeling uneasy on it, movin her weight to each of us.
The crowd of runner near the finishing line did not end even after 3hrs. During the end of the event, all the medic stretcher bearer are recalled to have our lunch. Unlimited access of 100plus, lunchboxes and specially given to us, a carton of nescafe. Things to not end here as there are a few runners having problems and we had to still bring wheelchairs and stretcher to bring them to tent. For one instant, we have to run all the way to MRT station from padang to fetch one guy back, it was said that he vomitted 5 times after the run. It is fun, other than the hot sun, it is quite a interesting and meaningful experience.
