[@donaldparlettjr3295]

I remember my basic training back in 1984. When I was involved in an accident waiting for the ambo and the paras I was going into shock I told the cop what he needed to do for me. When the help arrived they complimented the cop on his job. He looked at them and said pointing at me"uhh it was him". The flight to Shock Trauma was airsickness hell. I'm still the only forklift rollover survivor 30 years later at Baltimore's Shock Trauma.

#1-B - not reading the BIG LETTERS. My fiance ripped open a chest seal instead of the compressed gauze because the chest seal package said "gauze" in little letters (as in "wipe blood away from wound with gauze to allow adhesive to work"). This was just a middling wound to the forearm from some barbed wire - bandaids wouldn't cover it, but nobody got shot or stabbed either.

[@Jason-vn5xj]

YES!!!!! You're 100% right. It's no different from shooting: You don't rise to the occasion, you rise to the level of your training. I started out an EMT in high school, went to paramedic school, became a USAF flight medic, and eventually a respiratory therapist. 20 years later I'm now finishing a master's in nursing. I have countless hours in the ICU, ER, and out on transport; from the mundane to the unbelievably complicated in major trauma centers and in the field. When shit comes at you hard & fast, you have to move faster than you can think. Like anything else, it comes down to training and experience.

[@johnschmidt6089]

@@scottyg5756 Just like not having your pistol on your person.

[@Watson011]

My girlfriend who often goes shooting with me and has guns of her own, said the other day that she wants to get medical training with me. She told me that she sees I have medical kits around and carry some stuff with me, but she wants to get training on how to use them. Especially if we ever end up in a situation where I can’t assist her with using the medical equipment. I told her we can’t do that since I only have limited knowledge from videos. And we agreed to both take a TCCC class sometime and get better informed and trained on how to use the items I carry with me in my car or backpack.

[@michaelmaier7262]

I took Doc-T's Med 1 & 2 a few weeks ago in GA. GREAT time. Doc's an amazing teacher and he has some cool twists for his classes you might not see anywhere else. Well worth the time and money.

[@vampyr2936]

The drive is there

[@flyoverkid55]

In my experience the biggest mistake folks make is buying a kit of some kind and not learning how to use it. Many of these folks are the same that buy a handgun and only take it to the range for familiarization. Having items isn't enough, learning to use them effectively is a requirement.

[@LoiteringReaper]

[@antidulvian666]

Id love to see more trauma content. Especially a series on WPN.

[@Satchel456]

Don't know if it helps, but North American Rescue (or something like that) makes a lot of trauma/medical content about how to use various bleeding control tools. When I took a trauma class the instructor recommended their content.

Was not prepared for Tony's bit in the video. Got all the emotions and things all stirred up in me. I cannot wait for this series! "Don't let emotion take over! When you get hit, keep going, keep going!" wow.

[@SirGalaEd]

Sir. I get it. This will sound stupid, but it helps me understand. I work in vet med, where getting bit is a possibility with EVERY animal. We work with a level of anxiety of getting bit, but in reality as SOON as i get bit the fear varnishes and i power through the task with zero anxiety until completion. Then i can deal with the wound. Once hit, you don't fear getting hit. Makes perfect sense to me.

Proper staging is important when the stress level goes up. I’ve seen good people fall apart when it’s their kid or spouse. X10 when it’s mass casualties like multiple gunshots or cars. Even SF medics label their gear and keep it in the same spot all the time.

That being said to save on money building medical kit triangle gauze serves multiple rolls including making a great tourniquet as we didn’t carry real tourniquets on the ambulance until the state made it mandatory. An Ace wrap also serves multiple rolls including making a great pressure dressing in conjunction with gauze. Just trying to save a few bucks

[@pmedic523]

Yes I agree with these mistakes, however I would also add that having a med kit AND a seperate trauma kit are both equally as important. Yes you need blood to live. No argument there but you wont be needing to stop arterial bleeds and patch up sucking chest wounds on a daily basis. Your headaches, nausea, blisters, abrasions, first degree burns, upset stomach, paper cuts, etc is something you can treat really easily and most of the time on a weekly and sometimes daily basis. I'm not trying to minimize the need for a trauma kit and proper training at all, I just think that both items are very important.

[@Fordledsled]

Bring your Med Training course to Washington/Oregon. I'll be there.

Great video, good information! You are more likely to need to plug holes than make holes... I just recently used some money I was saving for a new gun and beefed up my trauma gear in all my bags.

my range trauma kit includes chest seals, quick clot, eye wash, lots of gauze, tape, gloves, shears, quick cold pack, tourniquet, blood pressure cuff, stethoscope, band aids, mylar blanket and a sharpie for putting notes on the patient, (time tourniquet went on, similar). It all fits in an ammo can that is plainly marked first aid with white crosses. Both wife and I are trained.

[@WarriorPoetSociety]

Stage your kit in order of care: What do you need to clear the affected area? Then what do you need to stop the bleeding? Etc.

[@phild8095]

@@WarriorPoetSociety Thank you sir. I shall look the kit over and see if there are things I can re-arrange. shears, gloves, then all visible And sometimes it is not bleeding, but perhaps eye contamination, or scope to cheekbone bruise. People have told me that I am overly concerned, but I've seen a lot of stupid over the years, including one woman that walked in front of my shooting table just as I was leaning into the scope and handling the rifle. No shot fired, but it took a while to steady my nerves.

[@phild8095]

@@MrJedi5150 2/3rds of the people we shoot with are also shall we say "fat old bastards" and an afternoon in the sun is more likely to lead to complications than the possibility of trauma. Wife is highly trained, me moderately trained. She could recognize different heart rhythms, I could not. That recognizing can save another minute in a crisis. We have enough trauma supplies in that ammo can. It is not a car accident trauma can or mass shooting can, it is single incident can. If we need more because we are in a disaster, then shirts will come off.

quick thought on those "training magazines". When a magazine is no longer usable to defend my life, it is disassembled and filled up with stick on wheel weights, and labeled for training. This way I have training mags that replicate the feel of loaded mags.
