Practice the plan May 5, 2013 Jim Mackie, M. Ed., ATC, LAT

I’ve been away traveling for awhile and just prior to leaving the country the tragic events of the Boston Marathon occurred. Personal colleagues and their students experienced first hand the terror and horrific sites. I am so very proud as they and many other healthcare professionals responded to the situation. Many others have provided encouragement and support to these professionals as they deal with the scars of unexplainable horror. Please keep them in your hearts & prayers as each day we may too someday have respond in a similar manner. It certainly helps remind us to have and practice a plan to carry out.
