I'm keeping an eye out for you - Leading Aircraftwoman (LACW) Oceana Gerber, Medic from 3 Expeditionary Health Support Squadron RAAF Richmond, is deployed to Timber Creek with No. 41 Wing Tactical Air Defence Radar System personnel to provide medical suppport. LACW Gerber has provided personnel an "Info from your Medics" board providing tips and tricks and emergency procedures such as how to stay hydrated and what to do in the event of a snake bite. Fortunately for LACW Gerber, the biggest emergency procedure she has had to deal with has been chapped lips.
