similar to a flight medic or ambulance medic, Tour medic deals with possible or potential patients during tour Tour Medic was derived from the term TOUR wherein member medics are enjoying so much to go to just about anywhere like mountain trekking, mountain climbing, camping, nature tripping, historical tripping and many more. Medic is the common profession of the group of different entities, and
are volunteers from different organizations of EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE which responds to many emergency pre-hospital cases and disasters around the metro such as fire, bombing, hostage crisis, earthquake and vehicular accidents and other medical related emergencies like stroke, heart attack and many more. Jaime A. Saguindan,Jr. both are trippers themselves, thought of the concept, seeing many trippers like them undergoing medical conditions like dizziness and vomiting and other cases like having sprained ankles and accidents then not being attended to very well by organizers. Having been a patient themselves and being a medic as one, they know how a person’s feeling when an injured and not having enough attention to deal with the pain and suffering they are undergoing, thus TOUR MEDIC was born. During its dry run days, Tour Medics were first incorporated in nature tripping and Mountain climbing of outdoor organizations. Satisfied with the results, a very timely occasion gave a better opportunity to test the whole concept of the program. Tour Medic was embedded into a tour operator’s program where they needed the services of medical personnel during their field trips. Successful as expected, the tour medics since then became a strong partner in service by them and continuously providing excellent service that were applauded by their client. Today, Tour medic is expanding to be an agency in its avenue of service, by providing excellent and quality care during special trips and being safety marshals in such time, so each client would have a worry free outing and a memorable one to remember.
