The phone ringing was persistent and with reluctance I got out of bed to answer it. It was Saturday 1st October at 2300 and the call was to put me on standby in my RAAF Specialist Reserve capacity to go up to Bali to evacuate the victims of a series of bombs that had exploded 2 hours ago. My first reaction was one of overwhelming sadness that this could happen again. My first thoughts were of the last time this happened mingled with my more recent experiences on deployment in Iraq. My first action was to make lots of phone calls and to activate our ICU disaster response plan. I packed up my kit for the trip and then tried to get a few hours of sleep - the wheels were in motion and the next step was many hours away.
