He’s the kind of guy to act like he’s smart for not using tampons as wound stuffing

I mean there were boomers not too long ago unironically recommending tampons as emergency plugs

ask me how I know

Yeah that’s why I said it

Hell I once believed it, can’t blame someone for believing something they learned from someone they look up to, but if they’re lazy enough to never learn more for themselves then yknow they’re stupid

you ever read "Patriots" or similar 90s-00s boomer militia literature?

I'm sure someone somewhere is dead because of retarded medical fuddlore

Yes

You want some real lmao look for ‘survivalist’ culture

I mean I feel like Patriots was a great primer

but send it

It’s actually not too bad for the time they were in, with a lot of disgruntled Vietnam vets realizing the world isn’t baby boomer *sips* firm handshake happiness

no it really wasn't, to be fair to them the internet didn't exist (for them) and finding solid info was more difficult

Best cringe stuff it’s early 2000s, but then again I stand by Obama being the best president for guns ever, as even fudds started to take their post 04 ARs out for ‘patriotic duties’ such as magdumping on BLM land

Dude yeah back in ‘survivalist’ days it was pretty based as a lot of them actually had multi family compounds too not just larping groups

They lived it

based

not sure we're ever going to get quite back to how it used to be, seeing as 3 white dudes sitting around a campfire with guns is reported on by fucking vice news and infiltrated by the FBI

LOL

solar you use pulse oxes at all?

Nah tbh

Used em on an ambulance ofc but I mean, just do a press check tbh

I feel like it's insurance for a casualty

if an airway goes for whatever reason or the pulse stops while you aren't monitoring them it might help?

Nah

I mean

I can’t think of a reason an airway just ‘goes’ without some prior indication you need to watch it

yeah, maybe overthinking

I’d say so tbh

They don’t take too much space up, if you really like em have one

Just realize it’s more double triple check make sure than it is an EKG tier vital piece of equipment

Plus what can you do even if it goes off if you dont have O2?

uh, well, I figured there are a couple of places where it might be handy

if someone's heart stops while you're busy with someone else, or are rolled out of a recovery position (no nose tube)

it's possible too much ArmA and KAT medical is influencing my idea of casualty care

I guess it’s possible

But I’ve personally never seen someone roll out of recovery

Then again you’re talking MCE

mce?

Mass causality event

Sounds like these situations deal with more than one patient
