April 10, 2023. The four-day field advanced first aid course (WAFA) and bridging course (WFR) organized by the University of Macau Chao Kuang Piu College have successfully concluded. In these four days, student have passed various exercises and training, and successfully obtained the graduation certificate for this course. During the course, participants learn how to enhance teamwork skills and apply them in wilderness first aid, and enhance their decision-making skills in team rescue situations to achieve growth in “service and leadership” and “teamwork and collaboration” competencies.
WAFA和WFR的區別
WAFA和WFR是一個遞進的過程，WAFA中學習的理論知識是急救員救死扶傷的基礎，而WFR中培養的臨場判斷力是團隊救援的關鍵。我們總期望能救下每一個人，這當然無可厚非，若是將傷者的命放在天平上比較必然是持平的。現實中存在著諸多阻礙，就如雙手的長度是有限的，總有些位置、有些事情我們無法兼得。在這種情況下，就必須快速做出決定，用現有物資救下最多的人。
在做出決定後，最困難的不是撤離，也不是安撫傷者，而是相信自己所做出的決定是正確的。我們會疑惑、恐懼、質疑，事後回憶中我們會恐懼是否有傷者因自己的決定而延緩治療，會質疑自己的決定是否真的達成“the Greatest Good for the Greatest Number（為多數謀求最大的福祉）”目的。如上所說，雙手的長度是有限的，想要兼得是很困難的事情。我們所能做的，是利用現有的物資做到最好，並相信這就是當下做出的最好決定。
Difference between WAFA and WFR
WAFA to WFR is a progressive process, and the knowledge we learned in WAFA is the foundation for emergency responders to save lives and heal injuries, while the on-site judgment cultivated in WFR is the key to team rescue. We always hope that we can save everyone, which is understandable. If we compare the lives of the injured on the balance, both ends of the balance will inevitably be flat. But in fact, there are many obstacles in the environment, such as the length of our arms is limited, there are always somewhere we can’t touch, some goals we can’t achieve. In this situation, it is necessary to make a quick decision to save the most people with existing supplies.
After we making a decision, the most difficult thing is not to evacuate or comfort the injured, but to believe that the decision you have made is correct. We will doubt, we will fear, we will question. In hindsight, we may fear whether any injured has delayed treatment due to their own decision, and question whether our decision has truly achieved the goal of ‘the Greatest Good for the Greatest Number’. But as mentioned earlier, the length of our arms is limited. What we can do is to make the best use of existing materials and believe that this is the best decision we have made right now.
