Trauma learning/modules/anything for slow service

Hey so I'm an EM resident on a trauma service that is pretty slow at the moment. We've pretty much been spending our time sitting around the hospital all day waiting for the next old woman to fall down two stairs and have a trauma alert activated.

Anyone have any thoughts/ideas to make the experience a little more educational? Any modules or resources that anyone can recommend? We've watched procedural videos online; but I sware if I sit through another atls algorithm on YouTube going at quarter speed I'll shoot myself. The attendings don't do all that much teaching here so in that regard we're somewhat on our own. Just trying tO keep ourselves and the med students somewhat occupied during the downtime with something that will be trauma related.

Thanks

Go through ALiEM's tricks of the trade & figure out how to MacGyver stuff for the inevitable WTF.

I like your style.

Seems unlikely to keep the med students entertained.

Got some good stuff on here, other topics I wish he would go into more detail on.

...Nor the residents for that matter

True but I found it to be a productive use of all the winter trauma downtime as a resident.
