@PierogiPal! supposedly some people credited the CLS courses from the games for actually teaching them how to save people in real life
that's wild
I mean I'd believe it
the top level CLS course was fucking long
and was rendered in a hospital
if I thought I could fly F-22's or helicopters I might join but the odds of getting stuck at a desk or destroying my body are way, way higher.
It was pretty good though
that's where I learned the really outdated information about how you only use TQs in the last possible scenario
Yeahhh
because that was back before people realized TQs should be a go-to option
Right
Why was anyone confused about that? If people are dying from blood loss and TQs stop blood loss...... Where is the disconnect here?
Though I remember taking some stupid class so I could be a certified babysitter or some bullshit and they asked us what we should do if the kid gets cut and I said tourniquet
nice
And they were like uhh
No
Because they used to believe that if you put a tourniquet on a limb and it stayed there over a couple hours then the limb was basically done
general idea back then was that TQs restricted bloodflow and that EMSs wouldn't get people to care rooms fast enough to prevent limb loss
yeah
And would have to be amputated
We now know that is not the case
So what, do limbs last longer than we thought?
Yes
yeah
They just assumed that limbs were as fragile as brains?
when it comes to blood loss?
tbh the big thing I imagine is that TQs just restrict bloodflow rather than cutting it off completely
And massive hemorrhage is like the largest cause for preventable battlefield death now so the go to is just slap a TQ on it
might not get as much blood as you need to have regular function but likely can last for a long time because some veins are still pumping thru
Sci-Fi Biofoam sealant when?
never
NOw fucking put on the TQ
I hope you pre-looped your shit
biofoam already exists tbh
I hear this shit causes tons of issues tho
but it's been tested for a bit now
XSTAT
could be just like TQs tbh
Bullet hole tampons?
