This is Tactical Combat Casualty Care for All Combatants. The modern version of CLS basically. Learn it boys.

Anyone pin the TC3-AC in this discord yet?

TC3 for All Combatants. It’s what we replaced CLS with starting last summer.

Let me get my link for you.

https://www.naemt.org/education/naemt-tccc/tccc-ac-guidelines-and-curriculum

PowerPoints, practicals, instructors guide is all there.

That’s what we switched to last year from good ol CLS. It really ain’t too far off from it either.

?

I may be able to answer any questions you may have. And if you have fun challenges I’ll participate if I see them. It keeps the mind sharp.

Next generation combat medic on facebook posts a bunch of good stuff.

Read the question, think it through, then look at the comments and compare. See where you went wrong and right.

Situation stuff. NAR does too, I don’t follow them but I occasionally run across others who repost their stuff or share it.

I loved using NGCM’s stuff when I was active and getting everyone’s inputs before we read the comments. It was really insightful, especially when someone thinks out of the box and comes up with great solutions. Keeps the mind sharp.

As great as TC3 is when it comes to saving lives, it can be quite lackluster whenever you have any sort of medical knowledge. Very simple, very effective at keeping the patient alive. But not always the best option for the trained personnel.

Okay, I’m going to be honest, the emt-b is a joke. But it’s a start.

My buddy found a two week course, and I did a six week course at fort Sam Houston and that was crazy enough. Look for a minimum eight weeks, but it’s a start.

A nice foundation for understanding medical guidelines, and a start, albeit it a weak one, towards saving lives.

No, there’s a massive difference. 18D are amazing resources, truly. But you need hands on training.

I 100 percent recommend emt-b courses. You’ll get so much more out of your contact with a treating understanding, just from the nuances you may have missed.

Lies.

Community colleges offer training for all men and women.

Well....

I don’t even fucking know. Every single medical profession I’ve ever asked had the same answer.

“You’ll know it when you hear it”

Oh that shit.

Reflex hammer?

Something like that.

Okay I was thinking you were talking about doing yaps on the abdomen to check for abnormalities

Collapsed lung had signs you don’t need to test for, most obviously of course respiratory distress (difficulty breathing) but also look for Jugular vein Distention.

Always feel and listen to the patient as the breathe, as taught in CLS or TC3-AC

Hands on both sides of the ribs, ear to the mouth.

Don’t do back of the hand. That’s a political call.

That’s sign of a tension pneumothorax or hemothorax.

Use the palms. It was switched to backs of the hands over females being allowed in more roles to prevent false claims of sexual assault. The military is full of PC bullshit especially in training.

Tracheal deviation is really fuck bad.

They’re dying. Don’t feel bad btw for being a zoomer, I’m first year (or last year millennial) zoomer.

Yeah lot of PC bullshit in the military.

Always push for immediate evacuation on any sort of airway or respiratory issue.

If they require a fucking chest tube, you better pray your medic was fortunate to be taught it, as not all are. I received training from a doctor during my NTC rotation.

A hemothorax can end a life with a doctor watching, and it can be so difficult to see if your not trained 10000 percent for it.

Needle decompression to relieve tension pneumothorax, turns out it was a hemothorax and you didn’t chest tube, respiratory distress kills. It’s terrifying.

OCD to NCD. Great start, the CLS basic. You’re not wrong if that’s all you know.

Respiratory distress is the first sign, rake the chest and back ASAP in search of wounds.

Don’t let it get further than respiratory distress is the optimal answer but unlikely for non-medical professionals.

MARCHH is the answer.

I’m a little drunk right now but I believe we once again decided to leave the needle in.

It kept changing back and forth. I always say leave the needle in. Better safe than sorry.

Oof

There you go.

Not even myself. Constantly reminded once we walked off post, we were just emt-b’s. Barely able to help a patient take their own nitroglycerin.

It’s a strange world in combat medicine.

Not sure what rule I broke tbh or I would. I joined this discord right at its start before rules yesterday .

Oh that’s the word. Okay.

I got it 😉

Yeah makes sense. I know I’m good but for reasons I can’t say. But that can’t change any moment.

Can****

But yeah guys, medicine is not black or white is the worst part of teaching it. Those who do, bless their hearts, know the difficulty of the politics at stake. The moment you receive training, you fall under an entirely different set of rules sadly. What was once an innocent and genuinely helpful attempt, is now a crime because you received “training”. While this may discourage some, I still 100 percent recommend with all my heart say to get the real training.

It may open a new field of political and bureaucratic nightmares, but it also saves lives. And that’s worth every fuckin second of stupidity.

Zoomer please Pin that link to the NAEMT TC3-AC. It’s a start for many people, and I will refer to it in the future. Outside of the politics of how we may feel, I truly believe saving lives is just as important as any other feeling we may have. Nobody needs to die for our future, and we should do all we can to save lives. No matter the situation.

Whether we disagree or not, our fellow man is not the enemy. We all strive for the same goals, but our ideology may differ. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of property as Locke intended. Happiness derives itself from these. And ALL men and women deserve these three principles. Through the faults of our founding fathers we find wisdom, and through their wisdom we find liberty. For every man and woman, we will strive for that. That is the foundation which we find ourselves upon. Equality, even with the “enemy”. For we are men.

Life is sacred. Whether you believe in a higher power or not, we were all created equal.

I may say god created men to be free, but men are created to be free in the final message I wish to be understood.

At 17 you can undertake emt-b. Yes, to the medical community it’s a joke, but fuck it it’s better than nothing. Three years fly by bud. Love of life. That’s the foundation of medicine.

That’s the issue. It’s not the pursuit of happiness. No man has a right to be happy.

Jefferson changed the lockean principle of the pursuit of property to pursuit of happiness due to the uneasy times of his life. The three fifths compromise existed to do exactly that, compromise. As they had to deal with southern slave states that refused to reject slavery, they changed property to happiness, as to not enforce an idea they fundamentally disagreed with.

But we live in a modern age, where men are no longer property, so why continue to bastardize the ideas that our founding fathers intended that weren’t unfortunately biased by the sins of their time? Also, we might want to move this convo to another chat if you wanna have it. I’m enjoying it.

Combatants is the key there. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, as many day. Politics aside, we are all combatants in the end. I remember in training, we were shown a video of a man, believe an admiral I can’t recall for sure, discussing the awe he had of a corpsman, who carried an enemy combatant on his back to receive complete medical care, because he understood the sanctity of life.

I tried to google that video for y’all but I can’t remember it’s name. It’s a great video, that inspires men to do not what is easy, but what is just.

I know a lot of people really love the sof-t wide, but I have a few and really just do not like them.

They have better quality materials, yeah, but they just feel awkward. Maybes it because I’m so used to the cat tq, but nobody ever really gave me any real reason they preferred them other than “THATS WHAT SF USES” and even then,

What gets me with them is not using them on others, but myself. That and the whole “don’t grab the windlass when pulling it tight initially” like you can with a cat.

I definitely can not use a sof t one handed. They just feel that little bit more awkward to me, they never want to pull through tight enough for me to feel confident to start with the windlass. Always feels like there’s just that little bit too much slack.

Lemee catch a link

Lol

You can search my chat history fam, I ain’t got time to argue.

Feel better? Now can someone link me the medical discord

I’m gonna be honest, I loved the new MARCHH kits, even if they’re a bit different. Very effective outside of the piece of junk tourniquet they use. Get CATs.
