Medics compete in Scrub Shirt Olympics Published May 27, 2010 By Steve Pivnick 81st Medical Group Public Affairs KEESLER AFB, MS -- Seventeen Keesler Hospital nurses and medical technicians joined nurses and techs from 10 other area medical facilities May 13 to compete in the 2010 "Scrub Shirt Olympics" at the Biloxi Town Green. Unfortunately, the "Dragon Medics" had to relinquish the "Golden Bedpan Trophy" they had won last year to the Hancock Medical Center team. The event is held each year during Hospital Week. Area medical facilities come together for food, fun and competition with the winner earning bragging rights for the next year and the coveted trophy. The Keesler and Hancock teams joined Singing River Hospital System, Biloxi Regional Medical Center, Grace Healthcare, Memorial Hospital, Dixie White House Nursing Home, Garden Park Hospital, Odyssey Healthcare, The Boyington Healthcare Facility, Memorial Behavioral Health and Select Specialty Hospital in this year's competition. The teams, consisting of two to four people, faced off in the "Litter Relay," "Aim Game," Wheelchair Relay, Laundry Pitch, Scooter Race, "Blow and Go" and T-shirt contest. In the Scooter Race, participants drove a motorized scooter once around a course. In the "Aim Is the Name of the Game" event, three members from each team tossed five darts at a scoreboard 10 feet away. The Wheelchair Relay was a four-member relay race in which one blindfolded member pushed another in a wheelchair. The Laundry Pitch involved three members from each team tossing a pillow case full of bed clothes into a free-standing laundry hamper from 15 feet. The "Blow and Go" event involved a team member blowing into a rubber glove, tying it off and sitting on the blown-up glove until it broke. In the T-shirt contest, the shirts each team had created for the event were judged. "Dragon Medics" on this year's team were: 81st Surgical Operations Squadron -- Airman 1st Class Robert Toth; Staff Sgts. Mark and Rose Bautista; 2nd Lt. Jennifer Danielson; 1st Lt. Aimee McLaurin; Capts. Hilary Dickey, Jewel Henry and Paul Hude; and civilian Chris Wiley. 81st Medical Operations Squadron -- Tech. Sgt. Jermain Jermain Smith, Capt.
