I knew everything that EMT did and knew it faster

Quick convo with you and a look through the shit you’ve been posting, you’re already more competent than most medic students I’ve precepted lol

You learn a bit talking with a Green Beret Combat Medic lol

@PandaMedic (友好的熊猫) yes Zoomer knows his shit

Appears so. Even the boog needs medics

Certs or not

Boog needs medics more than it does a lot of things

Like seriously

Right

You know what would be badass?

Terminator

Having logistics setup to the point that EVAC is possible

And we have *surgeons*

My “group of friends” we shall call it has one

But instead we’re probably just gonna have to take a bottle of isopropyl, tweezers, and sutures and do the best we damn can

Nothing as cool as a blackhawk for evac though

I’m gonna get extremely basic surgical shit

Scalper and blades for it

Suturing forceps and all of that.

Scalpel*

Tweezers, sutures

Get some good stainless shit. Get sutures and just practice on chicken with skin attached

Yeah I’m gonna see what I can do.

I have a feeling I’m gonna have to wing it and the bois will help me “acquire” an ambulance.

Preferably dead. Ill admit my suturing skills arent beautiful, but i can close a wound decently enough. Hard thing to get good at though unless you do it often

I like the idea of that 3M shit you can use

I wanna try zip-stitch as well.

Honestly, id raid an ambulance shack and stuff all the shit into a chevy express or something. Those 3m sticky zip tie stitches?

That and the brush on skin or adhesive shit

Liquid skin or something like that

Cardiac monitor and all the supplies. Gloves, batteries, radios, everything

Yeah when i planned my plate carrier for my role in my group of friends, the HSP flatpack plus isnt big enough for the shit i ‘could’ take. Lucky we have a setup that allows field care other than me

For real, they have nice stuff

And all the stuff that isn’t available OTC

like the glorious ket

Flatpack plus with the clear plastic pouches will do. I know where my locals shit is. Ket, fentanyl, versed, etomidate

If all else fails you could raid a veterinarian ha ha

I see a lot of that stuff working. One thing though, not all of the meds for EMS will be applicable to TCCC

Busting clots and all sorts of stuff

It’s a lot different

In combat medicine, HEMCON is the best thing you can do for a casualty

Blood isn’t easily replaceable in the field

I’ve heard of medics leaving arterial bleeds open

Because they can replace the blood

You know what’s gonna suck? All the damn pelvic area hits we might encounter

Can’t TQ a taint ha ha

Imma pack the shit out of it

I saw a device that looks cool as shit

Ive had older medics tell me tampons are good for gsws.. i roll my eyes so hard i about go blind.

holy hell

Yeah no

I said earlier how tampons didn’t work

What was that device was supposed to be made, actually kinda looked like a tampooooon, but shot in thousands of little cloting agents

That’s what I was talking about earlier when we were on pelvic wounds

That damn thing works wonders

I wish I could find one

That and some Fast Ones

I’m going to use Fast ones out of spite on my boys

Oh shit ok, I never knew if they actually made it ha ha

Yeah CoTCCC put out a video with it.

It’s amazing for junctions wounds that a TQ can’t handle

Damn that’s what’s up! I never knew it actually came to be

I’d love one

You mean the SAM splint? Works pretty good

Fuck, I meant SAM junctional tourniquet 🤣

Discussion: What has the COVID-19 pandemic taught us about the need to prepare ourselves and families in the face of apocalyptic pandemics in the future.

I personally think it reinforced the idea of “prepping” more than just food and water. Learning what I actually consume every month to survive and what I either need to stock up on or substitute in the event I cannot go to store that will have basic necessities stocked for weeks.

@Copbot1001 this could prob be moved over to member chat channel

I’ll copy/paste

> Fuck, I meant SAM junctional tourniquet 🤣 @AR That’s not it. It’s basically a big ass syringe (not the pokey kind) filled with clotting foam that’s small.

Nurse, former volunteer fire rescue here

Very nice.

Again, if anyone has medical questions, feel free to ask them.

You’re in good hands.

This goes over what you need in your IFAK.

6 years 911 AEMT in rural and wilderness ems systems, as well as long distance Interfacility Transfers

Looks like we’ve got medical covered pretty well.

If you guys have any useful information, feel free to post it.

I haven't checked them out yet but I've heard good things about dark angel medical

Sorry boys, passed the fuck out.

Celox A and xstat (the dildo looking one) are the ones I’ve played with.

Not a fan of the granules but i do like those sponges. They were trialing some injectable foam shit for abdominal trauma, not sure if it went to actual tests. Looked like a pain in the ass for surgery.

X-Stat is the shit

I just had to use celox on my finger today. What I found was that the granules will sit in top of the blood if you are heavily bleeding. It was only effective with multiple applications and constant pressure. I want to experiment with other hemostatic agents to see what the results are.

Celox is made to be applied AFTER you remove as much blood as you can from the wound.

Primarily for that reason.

Id rarely recommend hemostatics on digits unless there wasn’t enough room for a TQ or use of pressure points. The granules have quite a few problems, as Zoomer said, its designed to be placed as close to the bleed as possible with as little blood as possible. Thats why i like the z fold, wrap it around your finger and stuff it in the hole. Lol

I want an X-Stat so bad

Anyone know the price?

A coworker bought one and he paid like $40/$50

Let me check

The X-Stat 12 is currently $91.75 at panakeiausa

Each

holy fuck

Nevermind then

They sell 3 packs for $275.25

Yeah right? Lol

Packing gauze for me
