He's a very fluid individual.

[@ZacShortis]

Great to see medical officers getting down an dirty with the med techs! I’d love to make it to that as a career one day.

[@M.a.r.c.e]

That Adam guy is really diving into the role!

[@PaintballerReviews]

His eyes are creepy

[@DOLjamesMAN]

Excellent video. Please keep these products rolling.

[@Theoppskeepscrying]

Love these videos

[@thomaslennardbackupemail8745]

Me too

[@keeneyeful]

WOW, quite the set up and a very down to earth / 'just an ordinary guy' speaking, yet high speed Doc! Very informative and well done video. The CF needs more of these types of vids, perhaps another one with Dr. (Maj.) McLaren doing some show and tell with the gear he's wearing :D

The medical personnel of Canada's Naval, Military, and Air services have, over the years, ensured that many Canadians survived devastatingly wounds. They are the best of our best.

Thanks for your service. I hope some of these so call doctors and nurses you left back home complaining about nonsense will take a page out of your book and see what real emergencies look like instead of just looking for big pay to pay back tutition fee, mansion mortgage and car note on the luxury car. Prime example was when covid hit, tons of nurses and doctors took off saying they didnt sign up for this. They are right they signed up fot luxury home car and a top career label, not really helping people when they are sick, yet still on tv, podcast and radio interviews they swear on the cross thats why they got into the medical profession to help the sick. We salute you sir for showing these low hanging fruits pickers that it goes way deeper that handing out band-aids in the emergency. To all military medical staff you are the real deal doctors and nurses and you handle a pistol to boot . Its people like you that make people still have a little faith in the medial profession because we see solid stuff like what you are doing. I salute you sir and get home safe because when you get back you will see that your competition is zero. THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE SIR 💯💯💥💥

[@bigredc222]

Thank you for your service.

Saving lives. What an awesome job that must be

[@jonaswhitt4322]

With the exception of the shitty pay, long hours, stress, long term trauma, ya good job.

[@Fight4MyCountry]

@@jonaswhitt4322 No amount of money can replace the feeling that you saved a life. No amount of money can purchase that feeling of accomplishment. Sure, he may be in difficult and uncomfortable sitations. Sure he may make shitty money. What he can say is that he has made a difference-and that is priceless.

[@JaysonRLyons]

But when you dont the feeling is beyond ...

[@shanedich3660]

So impressive!

[@bahtiyarkaryagdyyev6699]

Excellent video thank you Sir

[@lykos970]

Nice hero sleeve roll sir, I guess ncm's lives don't matter. I want to roll my sleeves half way too.

[@scottnglsh]

Be the change you want to see in the world.

[@homeymcdutch1759]

By the time you get to wash your hands every 15 minutes and change gloves to save patients, you can have those sleeves as well.

[@yuehhtewbb427]

Civilian EMS internals are covered in bright colors inside, to make everything easier to find. Can't imagine working in an area where everything is camouflaged ffs...

[@jeffsanders663]

VERY awesome video! O Canada!

[@thirstypilgrim97]

I've seen a couple of ER docs who would love a vest like that.

[@Sammm107]

Excellent video, guy was on point with his demonstration

[@DinaIbethBerrocal]

Hi, I'm a nursing student. I'm looking for information to do a presentation at the university regarding injuries and the kind of dressing the Canadian Army uses on the field. There's little information online regarding this topic. Do you happen to have documents or links where I can find this information ? More precisely products to stop bleeding, what kind of dressing the Army uses for wounds (occlusive, partially occlusive, etc.), the local antimicrobials use to prevent infections and what solders use when they have blisters because of the boots. Thank you so much for your service and Med teams are the best... I can't wait to be part of the team and make a difference by helping others. :)

[@shyfillie3368]

AWESOME. The way I was about the ABC >>air goes in & out blood goes round & round

[@AdeelKhan1]

Ideas: - Deliver blood and medicine from orbit. - Put fans on two sides of the vehicle/plane. One pushing air in and another pushing air out. Power them with solar panels. - Elevate the section where Adam was lying down. So dust, debris, germs do not get into wounds.

[@bensweet7025]

Hey, doing a dissertation atm on cooling - at 1:10, he mentions that they use ice packs in their uniform; don't suppose anyone has any links I could look at for research on that? Thanks :)

[@thefriendd6506]

No links, but they could just slide it inside their plate carriers for some nice protective cooling.

[@chrissequioa4376]

Google the QORE Ice Plate

[@colinpugh8990]

What hearing protection is he using?

[@oceanic8424]

[11/20/2021] I suppose that typically while in-flight they would also be wearing head protection to prevent head injuries in case of a violent jostling aircraft movement.

[@darkstar795]

Aft floor armour plates removed?

[@apotebill]

I don’t think we have doctor in medevac in the US military. Does anyone know if we have similar MOS in the US Army?

[@tn4263]

Army 68WF which is a medic with the flight medic identifier. Enlist as a medic in the army/army national guard and after 2 years as a medic you can go into the flight medic program and go to Fort Rucker Alabama for 16 weeks for flight medic training

[@BRAVO0NETV]

I have those shears there the best in the world. ✌💪🇨🇦

[@ethancorti5830]

After they changed german choppers out for canadian chinooks must suck for medevac.. rip. Good video though

Canadian chinooks are brand new

[@Leader2light]

Who exactly is this unit deployed to help in the middle of Africa? Random Africans? Interesting setup, very cool.

[@ForgottenSouI]

Civil war in Mali. After Gaddafi was removed from power in Libya, a major influx of weapons were distributed throughout North Africa. A bunch of rebel groups picked up these weapons. A coup happened after the military thought the government was doing a bad job dealing with the crisis, but the coup just made it worst and rebels took control of some major cities. Then some radical Islamists appeared and took over the North and the Mali government asked for international help. France stepped in and stabilize things, now the UN is there to help keep the peace. Canada is currently operating under the UN to provide medevacs to UN peacekeepers.

[@minchunyang5845]

chinook looks packed

[@randallgoguen3463]

Fighting Israel's wars for America.

[@chrissequioa4376]

Take your stupid comments elsewhere
