> 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.

Faacctss

Also permethrin and appropriate field wear

I learned the hard way that open cell foam inside boots sucks ass after it gets soaked.

Ooofff

Hey all, on the subject, let's talk about medical emergencies. Not every medical emergency requires hospitalization and in the field many can even be stabilized. Does anybody have any prior knowledge on this subject?

@Catman Knows about infections.

I can get by

@RaginMedic23

I don’t just focus on combat injuries. Preventative medicine, typical diseases, viruses, and the like are also something I’m interested in learning about.

I keep Amoxicillin and I’m gonna work on sourcing other meds related.

And yes, field stabilization is a thing. Correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t you stabilize a casualty with TXA for a while as long as HEMCON is maintained and be able to wait a good while until EVAC?

@RaginMedic23

I’m fine with learning about infections and the like. One damn thing people seem to overlook is preventing that shit from ever happening. Change socks every single time they get wet, maintain proper hygiene.

Facts. I'm going to pitch adding a new channel. But the information comes from links with credible sources only

AMEDD, JEMS, ETC

Pushing anti-biotics can easily kill people so be careful

How about we make a separate medical server where we can all post evidence based medicine and discuss it all?

And then publish findings that would be useful?

I think it would be a good start in getting our medical shit together.

@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ txa isn't a cure all. Its a short short fix. We're talking 10/15 min tops

I'm a paramedic on a public service, did a handful of years private. Ran around one of our major cities. That's where I had my teeth cut on my trauma. Medical is 90% of my job.

Another server would be cool.

This is why we check our gear. Left NS thats gtg. Right, NS thats expired and cloudy

@Thorne

That’s why I asked.

right I'm not bitchin, just laying it out there

Thank you.

Hey guys, I spent a short time as a Certified Surgical Technologist. Going to start browsing through here. Just thought I would say hi.

Welcome. What kind of experience do you have as a CST? Any Ortho or Lvl 1 trauma?

Alright I think I might start a server for this.

So all of us can congregate.

Give me a little while to set things up and I’ll drop the invite.

If you treat animals, is anyone gonna take it personally when you put their stitches in? Promise to leave the balls and no one gets an E-collar
