I’m not certified in anything but I know a thing or two.
What do yalp mean by "pack" the junctions
Just pressure bandage? Or??
@[CA] SoyBoi pack it with hemostatic gauze
Hemostatic gauze and then wrap.
I was a combat medic in the army and am trained on TC3, prolonged field care, field sanitation, disease prevention, fluid resuscitation and some invase interventions as well as pharmacology
18D?
Or just a dedicated 68W?
68W who was blessed enough to sit through some whiskey one training and also held the role of utilizing higher levels of care in the field. Had a good PA and spent all my time on the line with both army and the marines
I see a lot of conversation in here about emergency medical but not a whole lot about what happens after the X, so it is my duty to introduce it to y'all. Since it's a broad topic, I'll start simply with the next thing, evacuation
Well, yes, after CUF and TFC is EVC, but during the situation that we may find ourselves in, EVAC will be few and far between.
I’m attempting to set up some sort of EVAC guideline/SOP for the guys I plan on helping.

@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ I have to disagree with you there. There is TACEVAC and CASEVAC
We'll most likely use TACEVAC. The difference between the two is that CASEVAC is a standard medical platform and TACEVAC is anything that moves
Any scenario we find ourselves in that requires the utilization of TC3 should also include immediately breaking contact. Because of that, like you said, evac sops need to be established as well as a well planned evac route
You have 15 minutes to engage and gtfo anyway. Shoot and scoot
My primary problem is not the availability of TASEVAC, it’s simply the unavailability of higher echelons of care for us to resort to. Sure, we can get them to a safe house, but we will not be able to treat much surgically.
Yes, EVAC routes need to be planned prior to every mission to ensure medical care can be given easily and that we know the plan when casualties are present.
But what about access to surgical intervention?
Hospitals will treat regardless of combatant status
@[MS]WebMDemt your username is hilarious 😂 but hospitals will also bring cops, which should be considered
@Crye_Salesman that is true but you’d be surprised how many people in healthcare are ready to boog. Field hospitals/safe houses are a high potential if it comes that far
Hospitals and the feds will work together
Safe houses in my opinion are a good choice.
The feds plan to ignore Geneva con as well
But finding personnel who know surgical procedures is another task
Facts to surgical
I know 2 or 3
Vets can also do a lot
True but getting them to help us
Logistics.
Initially taking a care point and command would be important. I cant take any of this seriously unless there's a full thought plan.
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.
