I’m an ENT surgeon, so I’ve seen my fair share of medical emergencies, mostly from airway compromise standpoint, but a few weeks ago we had a cardiac event in a patient’s family member in the Preop room of our surgery center. We brought the guy back with just a round of CPR. Do not underestimate the importance of high quality chest compressions and airway management. Just a basic CPR class can teach you enough to save a life.

I was an EMT, years ago, trained in all kinds of pediatric emergency medicine, but I also knew I am not always going to be around when bad things happen. As our kids get older they're all gonna learn CPR too, and any boo-boos they get, I always use them as opportunities to explain the importance of everything I'm doing to fix them up, what it means, medically, and encourage the other kids to watch and pay attention. Just part of their homeschool. When they go to their pediatrician yearly check-ups, we also make them come up with a list of questions to ask the doctor ahead of the appointment. It makes it less scary I think, and it helps build some good habits for later in life with their GPs, I hope.

As a police officer I totally understand the frustration with 911. I got out with a serious crash with injuries, in the county I worked, called 911 told them I was off duty and my radio number, and gave them the same info as I would if I was on duty. The dispatchers had to take me step by step through their check list including asking me for my cell number, before we even got to the vehicle and patient info. I was like wtf it’s easier to give this out on my radio. Love that your aed worked. I’ve deployed the aed 4 or 5 times on cardiac arrest events and never had a shock. We did get 2 saves from just the cpr without a shock, but still waiting on an aed save. Every officer on shift brings an aed in their squad. At shift change we drop them back at the pd. It’s guaranteed that any officer who arrives on scene to any cardiac event or even chest pains will have an aed on scene before fire/rescue. As an instructor, I also bring an aed to every class I teach, whether physical or not.

As a madical equipment technician what you describe is the biggest flaw. AED's must be checked annually if not more for function and pad condition. Unfortunately most hang on walls for extended periods with no service checks. And, as in your case, they are often subjected to environmental changes which can affect performance. They can perform miracles but they are machines that rely on components that must work but can fail.

Epi administration, even predrawn, would not be covered under the Good Samaritan act and would put any provider/bystander involved at risk for litigation.

[@CarJaco]

I appreciate places like WPS, where this kind of material gets shared. Defibrillators are so underutilized in America, considering heart disease is still the number one killer. I was diagnosed with HOCM a couple years back, I carry a device ID in my wallet, but I finally just ordered an engraved red medical bracelet while watching this since I already have an ICD implanted. Having the skills, tools and the right information is essential when seconds count.

It truly is a sobering reality, we are fragile. As much as I would like to be a protector with defense, I need to be a protector with medical knowledge as well. Thanks for a great reminder.

[@ungratefulpeasant8085]

Thanks for making this video. It's a good gut check for some of us that haven't received medical training since the military. I am changing my priorities because of this.

[@roymarganti6050]

Glad you guys were able to talk about the elephant in the room without being too obvious, so this video could be seen and not f-checked by the bad old Boys club. Kudos to you guys. Keep fighting the good fight.

[@qhrm-eesystem]

Exactly the same thoughts... Be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. (Matt.10:16) Great job everyone!

[@windmolenfarm8030]

As a 26 year veteran and Board Certified Emergency Medicine Physician (retired) I salute you and your staff John. The hardest job I had in the Last 18 years in the AF, was convincing my squadron and Wing commanders of the necessity of the medical element in any deploying groups. I deployed all over the world to unimproved strips where we had to deploy a 3 person medical element with enough equipment and supplies to take care of the people (and sometimes civilians) with what we brought with us. Thank you for the recognition of our branch of the WPS and our contribution to the whole,

[@minuteman-RN]

As a RN it's awesome to see you guys with such a focus on medical training. Great story! Glad it turned out the way it did.

[@jeffhuntley2921]

I know someone that went to the hospital feeling bad and talking to doctors for a few hours before they were sent home. She went into arrest in the waiting room. Her husband yelled for a doctor for 10 minutes before they got help from a security officer. This guy on the range probably couldn’t have been in better hands for this situation

[@robpolaris7272]

That’s ridiculous in a hospital!

[@me2ontube]

I brought a guy to the emergency room once that needed IMMEDIATE attention - n the security guard was only concerned about where I parked the car - he was 10 times bigger than me n armed n I had to threaten him before the receptionist got off her butt n got a doctor - she was afraid there'd be a fight in the hospital n that's the only way the guy got help

[@jeffhuntley2921]

Prioritize your health and weight your risks. Our medical system is no longer designed to help people, it’s designed to make money

Was a medic and an EMT way back late '80's to the beginning of the 90's. Like tactics, proceedures and equipment evolve and is ever changing. I too have been near situations and was the only one helping someone in a bad spot and most people stand around and just look, use an authoritative voice to command someone to help, most often they will, if they know nothing, they can grab something for you, place a call, help in other ways necessary.

[@tnnursemedic1922]

Glad for a good outcome. Awesome response.

[@rossespiritu5064]

Way to go Ian and Sam and the rest of the team, solid work!

[@texasraider1137]

Bravo guys! As a longtime advocate of this channel as well as the 2nd amendment, and a practicing long-range precision shooter and critical care Neuro-Trauma RN, I think the most important thing you guys did was to have had a plan in place before an incident occurred. With a medical career that spans over 25 years, I can attest to the fact that witnessed cardiac arrest with immediate CPR and defibrillation abilities greatly increases the chance of meaningful survivability.

[@pheddupp]

That's great news about the patient/student surviving because you guys were prepared. In 2000 I watched my wife, who was an RN at the time, leap over a countertop and give CPR to a woman who had gone into cardiac arrest as she walked through the final threshold of a very scary Haunted House in the New Orleans area that we were working at. The woman had existing cardiac issues and the shock of a blast from an air hose caused her attack unfortunately. That being said my wife was absolutely magnificent to watch while resuscitating the patient. She fell back on her training without the slightest bit of panic and single-handedly had her vital signs back when the ambulance that was pre-staged in the area arrived. The lady survived, thank God. My wife had consumed a daiquiri already, but she was as cool as a cucumber.

[@thebronzetoo]

AWESOME.

[@pheddupp]

@@thebronzetoo It really was, and I'm still very proud of her. I mean there is no more important a scenario where being Johnny on the spot, saves the day, than resuscitating a dying person. Right after it happened, and the lady was loaded into the ambulance for transport to a hospital my wife acted like it was no big deal, as if she does that kind of stuff all of the time...

[@kriskline7559]

This is a story not just about saving one mans life, but also on the firearms training industry as a whole, and the great people involved. As I read all of the comments I am proud to hear all of the first hand accounts being shared. Our club recently lost a great man that sadly had a cardiac event on his way home from a training session. Unfortunately he was alone and there wasn’t anyone who could intervene to save his life. Losing our friend was a wake up call for us that we can do more. We are adding AED’s in the range buildings and have multiple medical classes scheduled to our programs to pass on more life saving knowledge. Thank you for spending time to share this event.

[@carljefts215]

Please keep the conversation and information coming

[@wildcat8598]

As someone who tries to train as much as I can I’ve been wanting to get some medical training. Everyone I’ve talked to who gets some medical training say that they leave more confident in their ability to jump into action to help someone when a serious situation happens. As someone who EDC’s we are more likely to use our medical than our firearms so having medical training is huge

[@branman4959]

….suddenly

[@RouteToFreedom]

John and crew, great to hear of the rescue at your class! However, I do have one bone to pick with something John said... as a USN SAR Corpsman (medic for you non-Navy people) I've performed CPR successfully on victims for well over 30 minutes. I've also spoken with one individual that was on his open water swim for SEAL training when his heart stopped. He had CPR performed on him for over 90 minutes while they got him to shore, into an ambulance and finally to the ER. He survived with no physical or cognitive effects. So unless you are physically unable to continue CPR, please do not give up on someone until higher medical help arrives.

[@ToddDinkins]

Amazing video. I'm so glad you all were able to help this man through. It just reminds me I need more training and equipment

[@stevefesko6129]

Great job being prepared, saving a life, and learning from the experience and upgrading your kit! Years ago I was following a car down the interstate and saw the rear bumper on fire (the exaust pipe was rubbing up against it). I luckily was able to convince the driver to pull over and used a small fire extinguisher from my glove compartment to slow the fire long enough for a construction crew to run up and put it out fully. Now I carry a larger extinguisher mounted to the bottom of my driver side door in my F-150. We never know when we might need to step in and deal with an emergency. Keep up the great work!

[@TrojanManSCP]

Great save. Way to go! Stuff for vehicles to add to John’s list: Water, blanket, hat and gloves, spare socks, something to make fire. Rope suitable for emergency recovery of people (eg bridge accident, river, heights, etc). Basic rigging jewelry. Small shovel (snow, sand, whatever is in your area). Jumper cables, compressor or air source, spare lubricant and vehicle fluids, basic tools. That plus the fire extinguisher (look for a DOT 5/1 and make sure the bracket is rated to hold in a crash if you mount it) and ‘enhanced’ FAK and you’ll cover the big stuff.

[@HH-st5lp]

Appreciate this, John and Paul. Signed up for a couple classes in March and can’t wait.

[@thetacticalape8852]

AWESOME JOB!!! 👌 Former Combat Medic turned RN here. I love the fact you used this experience and turned it into talking points for the masses. People forget how quickly stuff happens, and it isn't necessarily trauma related. Maybe you should put together and sell Warrior Poet medical kits? I'm sure many would buy them.

[@noroom4commies086]

Id buy one

[@waynecribbs786]

Absolutely GREAT job guys!!!! That gentleman owes his life to your guys quick thinking. So wonderful to hear this happy ending!!!

[@tom_olofsson]

This is why we do the medical brief at the beginning of each class. Well done. Very well done.

[@mikehowell5539]

Great job guys. As a Paramedic and EMS Educator (and a Warrior Poet) I would also advise that the CPR Pocket Mask is way easier to use for people who arent experienced with it. The BVM is a challenging device to use for one person and even 2 inexperienced people will struggle. I always teach the the pocket mask is easier and thus more helpful. BVM's often are less effective even for professional healthcare providers that don't use it frequently. Again, brothers....great job.

[@carter2671]

Good to know

[@jordansantiago2123]

John this exact thing happened here in Virginia at a pistol course run by two of my close friends. Student went into cardiac arrest at the reloading table. Luckily, both of my friends have plenty of medical training worked CPR on this individual for well over 30 minutes until paramedics arrived. this man had a Widowmaker and ended up surviving. The medical staff at the hospital said usually people have only around a 10% chance of survival from something like this. With these type of occurrences happening more often it’s ever more important to be trained up.

[@2ALibertarian]

Glad to see this vid! We often forget things we need in critical moments. I kept a fire extinguisher in my truck for less than a year and had to use it on a guy who had a Lowrider full of batteries in the trunk. He had no idea his trunk was on fire until I had him pull over in traffic to put it out!.

[@m118lr]

Fantastic job guys! Med training is an absolutely needed skill. I’ve always wanted to further my own knowledge in the ‘general’ field..IF nothing else but to augment AND assist someone else. Took CPR classes years ago as a chemical plant ‘operator’ BUT specifics have changed somewhat in how things are administered. CPR for example..DEPENDING ON where and by who..has changed TO JUST Chest compressions and NO breaths. Again..depending on WHERE you get the info FROM. Myself, I also have the “ONE-way valve-type mask”. ANOTHER thing you can add John: a ‘CHOKING’ or “DE-choking” apparatus to help retrieve or expel something lodged in one’s throat. Great vid guys…”BRAVO!”

[@clrd4tkoff]

Awesome Video!! So glad that student survived! Also glad to hear you ordered the AEDs! Unfortunately I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of these as you subtly hinted to the cause. It make me reassess my kit as well.👍🏻👍🏻

[@Uracil-hn5tx]

I'm so happy for you guys that you got him back, as a rural medic, I rarely ever get to see a good outcome on arrests, and you would be SHOCKED how often we get there and people aren't even doing compressions on someone who otherwise might have been viable once we got the defib there. I feel obligated to point out that a ROSC like that, where the patient basically wakes up, is not only phenomenal but not super common.

[@voodoopat5518]

Great video, and very informative. It’s true that we ( military / LE / tactical) community get hyper focused on first aid for trauma, but it’s more likely that we will encounter injuries/ illnesses that are not related to firearms. When I was deployed to the Middle East (Army Medical Service Corps), we had a significant number of medical emergencies that were not combat related. After watching this, I am going to review my medical kit in my car, and make a few additions. Thanks!
