WASHINGTON -- Marshall Anderson, park ranger and paramedic, arrived at his first aid tent northeast of the Washington Monument at 5:30 a.m. yesterday. His first patient arrived at 5:31.
“She walked in right behind me,” he said at midmorning, by which time he and his colleagues had seen 17 people.
The first patient, a Maryland woman in her 30s on dialysis, “was on a shoebox full of medications,” Anderson recalled. “She was cold, and she just wasn’t feeling well.”
His advice after a quick assessment: Go home and watch the inauguration on television.
