seen that one before, he should play the lottery next :excl:

There are lots of programs that teach "tactical medicine" I been to 3 different ones, and for the most part they are all the same... Here in Florida there is no EMT-T I'm sure many states don't have one either :rolleyes: Many agencys use the tactical medic just as an on scene medical...

The best kind of drills are the ones that have an unforeseen problem pop up, this is where the "Adapt and overcome" mentally works, as long as the mission is completed then its a success. If $Hi+ happens and the training is canked then the mission was not completed and the reality is that $Hi+...

Hummmm maybe I'm cheap :P I only wore what was issued to me, that being said I only have worn military spec BDU (and now MARPAT) uniforms, I once bought "Blaur" (sp?) and still have them- Very comfortable and what NYPD ESU members wore back in the late '90s. BTW- I still have them and where...

CLS is NOT buddy aid- while your correct that buddy aid is basic first aid, CLS is an actual certificate that needs refresher training, the ONLY people that get this are NON-MEDICAL MOS's, so that groundpounder, grunt, gunbunny, or even cook- can treat you above the care of buddyaid- to include...

Nice find! - regarding the springs, I tried them and they were way too tight for me, even when on the boot I found them too constricting, what I do is use 2 sets of boot bands tied together- two bands per leg, and its the right fit for me, a lot of the Marines in my unit do it this way and it...

When i was a young medic in NYC we just used H20- Worked good enough, was readibly available, and didn't cost a red cent :P And believe this when i say that most of our pts were school age- when an unruly kid got out of hand in a school, NYPD would spray the whole classroom, Gym, or even...

its all about pride- rolling up your sleeves takes practice- there are 2 ways to do it- The Army/Airforce way- and the the Navy/Marine Corps way- the Army way is more practicle since you can easily pull your sleeves down in case of a tactical situation but takes more work to do-...

awesome, yea people the military is hurting for medical specialist, I know for sure in my unit were down to about 4-5 reservist when we should have close to 18- true most are deployed :unsure: but at 18 we were still pretty thin :rolleyes:

I had one of my Marines today tell me she helped a co-worker who had suffered an MI, she told me that she recognize that her co-worker was in shock, and she took care of her (PFA really) untill the ambulance arrived. She was really greatful regarding the CLS training... B)

LOL, yea in the military your standing orders can include chest tubes, surgical crics, giving blood, sutures, etc... all without a doctor present. This is pretty cool I think, cause when you get back to the "world" most or all of those can be taken away, even if you had done them dozens or even...
