medical AARās essentially
Situation stuff. NAR does too, I donāt follow them but I occasionally run across others who repost their stuff or share it.
I loved using NGCMās stuff when I was active and getting everyoneās 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.
Iām not trained, although I know a bit.
Doctrine is a fall back if you canāt come up with anything better.
Thatās one of my favorite phrases, and itās fairly universal
I suppose thatās true.
Also when you have people who are too used to operating within certain doctrine it can be a hinderance at some point.
Iām gonna be honest I probably do need training but I donāt know where to get it.
Take a local stop the bleed to start
Nowhere to take that to my knowledge
Iām sure thereās one in St. Louis occasionally
Maybe
Asked a friend of mine if I could stick him with an IV and got
FUCK NO
Lol
Iāve had black out drunk dudes push saline on me to sober us up
Imma find one of my friends to stick
Donāt worry
CLS qualed marines are better at IVs/blood draw than nurses who call themselves heroes
Legit
Iāve heard stories
Nurses missing like 13 times
Seems like that's far too common
Yeah. Most people suck at their job, nurses arenāt an exception
Okay, Iām going to be honest, the emt-b is a joke. But itās 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 itās a start.
A nice foundation for understanding medical guidelines, and a start, albeit it a weak one, towards saving lives.
I have contact with an 18D so thatās a start eh?
No, thereās a massive difference. 18D are amazing resources, truly. But you need hands on training.
Thatās true.
I mainly meant the 18D to supplement knowledge.
I 100 percent recommend emt-b courses. Youāll get so much more out of your contact with a treating understanding, just from the nuances you may have missed.
I just...itās hard to get training at my age.
Lies.
Community colleges offer training for all men and women.
Well....
Yeah..
ah fuck
