Its not only combat injuries that would take people out. Talking about combat requires total thought of care from point of contact to recovery

What about medical emergencies? This isn't only about trauma.

Agreed but the current thinking of medical care is small skirmishes stemming from protests. What you’re speaking of would be an all out civil war scenario which is highly unlikely.

Bullet holes are bullet holes.

If you're going to try and take me to a vet to stitch me up after I get shot in the leg. Fat chance.

1. Pain meds. Absolutely important.

2. Antibiotics for infections

Vets have both. Ketamine is big in equine medicine. Lots of preppers stock up fish antibiotics

Okay. Yeah. Drugs have to come from somewhere. For small amounts pencil whipping works.

Deep surgical things would need more than a vet imo

surgery in general shouldn't be left to a vet, again, imo

Obviously standard emergency care is preferred but you have to think outside the box

Pain meds can be pilfered as can surgical instruments and suture

Hog hunters suture their own dogs pretty often. In a pinch the same could be done on humans

I agree with @Thorne. Let’s create a Committee of Tactical [REDACTED] Combat Care.

I like where you're taking it but we honestly need a few committees.

Do we have any central hubs?

We can discuss solutions for our specific situation.

I don’t know of any central hubs that we could use that are straight medical.

We can always create that.

I guess what we could do is kind of organize a network. Or a framework really

The worst part is there's no real way to identify. Or we don't want to do it on a public server.

Discussions that need to happen in private and/or on voice.

Keybase is a possible solution.

Go through Discord on a main server, and those who we see are useful and contribute, we PM and get on KB.

Never used or heard of it before. But I'm down for it.

Ooh zoomer you went all blue

I guess i should get go and get a medic tag

Can I get a liability tag instead of a medic tag?

Lol

Anything is possible

I just want society to collapse so I can say I'm a doctor

@Thorne It’s an end to end encrypted platform.

Secure.

> Initially taking a care point and command would be important. I cant take any of this seriously unless there's a full thought plan.
@Thorne no, you are right. Sorry everyone else but he is absolutely right

Y'all keep only thinking combat injuries but

E. Coli

Half of y'all wouldn't even live through the summer

Pest borne diseases

> E. Coli
@Catman yes

Water and food contanimation

I'm taking the initiative to start a prolonged field care and disease prevention thread. You're no good at any level if you're ridden with disease and your feet are fucked up lol

Foot powder is a huge game changer in the rain.
