How to treat gunshot wound before medics arrive

The first thing to do is to stop the bleeding.

Well that was useless. Ur suppose to stuff the wound to apply internal pressure in the wound

He was one of the bests. Sadly, he passed away in August 2019.

Why? He's right. Tourniquets to the limbs save lives. People overuse them, but if there is an arterial bleed from a limb, it's your best bet if you can't control the bleeding with pressure. It's important to know how much blood loss is life threatening and therefore when to use one. He's was a trauma doctor at a major hospital in a major US city, 10th largest city in the country. Why in the world wouldn't you trust what he says?
