Yes. We've seen them clog with clot. SOP is needle for any chest wound that could penetrate the plural space.

TCCC says to burp the seal and reassess, but ain't nobody got time for that. If they have a sucking chest wound, it's going to turn into a tension pneumothorax by the time you're clear of enemy fire. Seal the entry and exit, needle at the 2nd ICS midclavicular line.

TCCC is a guideline, not a protocol. Units can and do augment it. It's the bare minimum skill set for a medic or CLS.

You can't do any more damage with a 14 gauge needle than the bullet or shrapnel did anyway.

why would you not only show the world you've got a gaping butthole

but are also pozzed with med resistant aids

weird choice of morale patch

Nah dawg, I get tested twice a year because of work. No pozing here.

Same goes for Hep C testing. When you spend your entire work week treating IV drug abusers trying to fake a bullshit injury in the Emergency Room for more smack, you start getting cautious.

stop this dump ifak bullshit

IFAKs should be sealed anyway.

Buy them vacuum sealed, or if you make your own, vacuum seal them yourself.

God damn I love my vacuum sealer. So much clothing has been jammed in so many way too small bags thanks to it.

Inside joke I never changed. Someone inferred I was Yakuza and I just changed all my social media to Osaka.

I'm guessing California or Washington then

Someone has to keep the New Yorkers south of I4

There's a reason they call us the 6th Borough

After the hurricane, Orlando's more Puerto Rican than East Harlem.

In all seriousness, I just have so many old camo patterns it's the only thing that matches all of them.

Goes okay with my old woodlands, not too horrible with my DCUs, beautiful with my flightsuit if I ever felt like wearing that with full kit.

I even have a hideous ABU combat shirt in a box somewhere in the back of my storage shed.

And I'm colorblind, so I don't have to give a shit about trying to match shades of green and brown.

I'm only green deficient. I can read Fuck the color blind on that one. It's made for full red-green color blindness.

so green is just grey for you or what?

I'm missing half of my green cones, it means there's a cut off for certain shades where they'll be seen with red cones. Certain greens are gree, others are red. That means certain reds are seen the same way as those cross over greens.

I just have a range of reds and a range a greens that I can't differentiate. I only know they're not Blue or Yellow.
