What do you do with the tampons in the BLS kit? Seriously I can't think of a real medical need for tampons.
 
:D Thought someone would ask...

They work very effectively for GSW's, since they swell, and fill up the hole nicely.
 
I can see it now. Medic to Hospital: I have one GSW to the head. Applied one Light tampon but bleeding continued. I've gone ahead and upgraded to a Super tampon and bleeding is now controlled.

:lol:
 
LMAO...

HAHA, You should try it sometime!!! :P



No, it really works hey. :)

I get the Brigade Quatermaster catalogs.... they include several pages of thank-you letters and "war stories" from Iraq and Afganistan..... they are like Galls, only more Military stuff....

They had a story last month... apparently, they have donated "goodie bags" that go out with orders going to combat zones / troops..... stuff that has been donated by "whoever" and is shipped over with an order.... Apparently one of the "guy" soliders with a funny name (like Leslie) got a "girl" goodie bag... had some tampons.... good for a laugh, and he didn't know what to do with them, so he threw a few in his pocket, figuring he might find a use for them.... Ended up with a buddy getting shot in the chest, lots of blood, pnumothorax, etc..... he plugged the hole with a tampon and the bleeding stopped.... saved the guy's life, and apparently one of the wives sent a large package over for the unit soonthereafter....

Much like what I -used- to carry in the back of my SUV... :P Except for the scoop. I do have one, but I fear it is rusted in place, inside the backboard box atop my 75 Criterion Cadillac.
 
Tampons? :o
