Does /k/ into medical? After witnessing my second car accident yesterday, I'm going to start getting some basic medical training, having medical inside my vehicle and learn how to use basic stuff like a torniquet.
>>

I'm mil trained on basic first aid and ifak use. Not sure if it's true or not but helping people like that at random with no sort of certification or proof of cert just sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Enjoy being Joe Hero for 5 sec and then get sued by some asshole because you decided to help helped.

>Not sure if it's true or not but helping people like that at random with no sort of certification or proof of cert just sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen

I thought this but I live in Florida where there is the Good Samaritan law which protects you from being sued if you're helping with good intentions.
>>
>>31167483
That TQ needs to be higher
>>31167513
That's why good samaritan laws exist.
>>
>>31167483
Fuckin useless if you live within any decent response time of an ambulance. You have to train constantly in order to be worth a shit in an emergency. If you just learn it and then never train again, you will cause more damage and will probably get sued.

The best thing would be to carry a first aid bag in your car. That way if someone who does know what they are doing (off duty EMT, nurse, fire fighter) happens by, they can start treatment until the ambulance arrives.

good samaritan laws are state laws, not federal laws. a state Good Samaritan law will not protect you from liability in a federal civil rights lawsuit. and just not worth the risk or hassle.

Former EMT here,

Learned a few things and saw a few things the years I worked like a mule.
> If you witness a car accident and want to help. If they get knocked out by airbags, start holding c-spine, try to prevent them from moving their neck around. (unless there is immediate danger from fire, get them the fuck out and then immobilize)

My story:
> Pulled up to the scene of a car accident.
> Guy turning left got hit by guy who decided to run red light.
> Guy who got hit was furious out of his car running on adrenaline, pissed off shouting at the idiot who hit him.
> My partner runs up to the guy and is trying to talk him down, trying to get him to lay down and relax.
> Next thing we know the guy collapses dead. No Heart Rate, no breathing.
> We work him up, start compressions, call ALS, whole 9 yards.

This wouldn't hold up at all in court. Furthermore, if you go into cardiac arrest and require chest compressions you have less than a 10% of walking out of the hospital alive

How much do basic medical courses cost? I don't make a fortune but I want to be better prepared after seeing my buddy blow his hand up.
I think I did all I really could, I wrapped what was left in a clean towel and waited for the ambulance but I still felt kinda like I was improperly prepared for such an event.
>>
>>31169144
Basic first aid courses arent much. Worth the investment, if you can stay calmish when in a situation then you should be fine to rely on your couple of days training for most things. Assess the risks you are most likely to face and the response time you are going to recieve and prepare for that.

I have a 40 acre property and the ambulance response time is going to be at least half an hour unless you get super lucky.

So i have a fairly comprehensive first aid kit. Bought a high end one they use in workplaces so it has most things. Then bought a torniquet and a few other bits and bobs. I consider there to be a fairly high risk of massive bleeding in a limb from an accident given I drive vehicles on steep terrain and run a brush cutter and chainsaw every week.

Mostly my first aid kit get used for patching up minor shit though. Like pulling off ticks, stopping bleeding from small deep cuts etc. I hope like hell I never have to bust out the torniquet or amputated parts bags.

Ask a lot of questions. Always.

First aid is taught in schools here and I then in military you are taught, how to use tourniquets and such. In reserve I also went to a combat first aid course. There was more talk about the basics and then about chest seals and other more advanced appliances as well as methodology of treating the wounded. It was short and tightly packed but I think I could stabilize a soldier with simple wounds on limbs or torso. Don't know how it would turn out in reality though. Medical stuff isn't simple.
Reminds me I should finally build a proper first aid kit.

Sounds like I'm already a bit ahead from medical training in basic, not that I'm going into the class with that mentality. I just want to know what weaknesses to shore up mostly. I don't know if primary and secondary assessments are different between mil and civilian but I can do assessments and tourniquets and shit. After having my battle buddy get his hand fucked by a training grenade and not being able to do much besides wrap,I find myself fascinated by emergency medicine

Most (all?) states have Good Samaritan laws, anyone saying you could be successfully sued for helping in good faith is full of shit. It doesn't matter if you do CPR and old man Jenkins had a valid DNR, if that form wasn't right there with him tied around his neck it has no relevance to you.

That's called acting outside your scope of practice, and yeah it can be negligence in the eyes of a court.

But that has no relevance to the layperson who, say, breaks a guy's ankles to pull him out of a burning car. If you act in good faith and don't do shit you're not trained for "hurrrr let me use this needle decompression kit I bought on Amazon to feel like an operator" then you are 100% fine.

the hands on stuff is easy as fuck for basics and even medics. The hard part is thinking through a medical scenario, not a trauma scenario. Practice up on study skills and stay on top of class materials , even when its boring shit like COPD and CHF.

Not him but all of the above. Traumas are pretty easy, stop the bleeding, keep em breathing. But they tend to be gory

Medicals can be complicated. Something seemingly simple like a headache can be caused by anything from dehydration to a stroke, or a whole host of other things, most of which you can't test for in the field.So all you have to work with is what your patient is describing which may or may not be helpful.

What you need to know:

>immediately contact emergency services, before intervention even (KNOW WHERE YOU ARE AND STATE THAT FIRST, use phone GPS if you need to)
>apply direct pressure to wounds - use a cloth or shirt, and elevate the wound from heart level if it's on a limb
>if you find a person not breathing (check by putting your ear by their mouth and listening while looking for chest rise, also notice if they're breathing at a normal rate) then check pulse, you don't check pulse if they're breathing
>if they're not breathing and don't have a pulse, begin CPR (btw breaths are not necessary, just compressions)
>no CPR if they have a pulse, keep monitoring and waiting for EMS until they don't
>apply direct pressure to trauma wounds before beginning CPR, otherwise you're just pushing the blood out

That's pretty much all you need to do as a civilian. Your job, unless you are the highest care (a hospital) is to get the patient to higher care. You're being negligent if you think you're going to save them on your own.

I feel I have to say this because weapons boards always scream RRREEEE TOURNIQUETS in all medical threads, you'll almost never have to use a tourniquet. Only use one if you've exhausted all other means of stopping blood loss (direct pressure, elevation, clotting agent, btw clotting agent would be a more useful piece of kit than a tourney). I've seen too many civvies wrap their belts around someone with a scrape on their arm. You'd be doing them more harm than good in that case. The only time you'd go straight to tourniquet is of he had heavy trauma in other places and you don't have enough hands/time to worry about his limbs.

As for medical situations, like someone having a heart attack or diabetic episode: >contact higher care
>monitor
>begin CPR if they go down and lose pulse

Yup. As my EMT instructor said: Air goes in and out, blood goes round and round. You have all the skills and equipment to make both happen regardless of circumstances.

Our ambulance director likes to say that nobody dies in the ambulance. They may be dead on scene, they may die in the hospital, but if they're in your ambulance, you can make them alive. Maybe not comfortable, but alive

For everyone else, i have a cell phone to call 911 and a pair of gloves for CPR

Slacker.

I have two liters of NS, 18 gauges, dermabond, sutures, and a fuck load of advanced airway shit - including miller and macintosh blades.

Am I missing something or is dermabond just not particularly useful for first aid? It's just useful for small lacerations that you shouldn't even need to suture before you reach the hospital.

You used real words but they make no sense when arranged like that

Fucking casual, my first aid kit is nothing but a rusty scalpel, boogie and ETT and a change of clothes for when I have to flee after cutting the neck on a 12 year old with a broken arm.

I have disposable staplers too. My list of supplies is almost unending.

That's all well and good if you are comfortable using that stuff. But it's getting far outside the realm of first aid.

Water jug for radiator or drinking. A quality jack. Hazard symbol if you need to leave it on the side of the road at night. A charged cellphone. Doesn't have to be active to be able to call 911. Take the battery out and leave it in a bag.

I spent a decade as a paramedic. I was replying to someone who insinuated he too was a paramedic.

You're an idiot. Civilian medicine is all funneled down from what they've learned on the past few wars. Almost no one dies from blood loss anymore in the sandbox thanks to these guys.
>>
>>31167483
I'm not but I wantr to be.

Are there any medicfags who can teach me how to drill into an fingernail to relieve the pressure of blood from ruptured blood vessels? Seems like a good skill to have when taking part in drunken shenanigans with /k/omrades.

He asked paramedics if they could bring him back in time for the third period

Damn son.

Hockey... a white mans sport.

Getting an artery cut happens. The guys on the ice play with broken ribs, broken arms and broken jaws regularly. These are some of the toughest fuckers around./

I'm thinking about EMT. Everything else in this town feels so dead jobwise without schooling.
>>
I'm with you there OP.

Just signed up for Direct Action Response Training with Dark Angel Medical. Hopefully it will help me to patch holes at least partially as well as I can make them.

More worried about somone not breathing than bleeding however.

Don't know how EMT /k/omrades do it all.

You can say that again. I once witnessed a Detroit Red Wing die on the ice.

Emt here. Only use a tourniquet if it's a massive venous bleed or arterial in nature. Even then only as a last resort. It takes about 4 hours before muscle death begins

It's a blast when you start out but from what I've seen its really easy to get burned out.

Was a lifeguard for 5 years, got retrained every year and had in services every month, also study anatomy both in college and for my own amusement. I'd like to think I'd do more help than harm.

Flashcards flashcards flashcards. Exactly what I did when I was doing the emt class
>>
>>31192212
I never got burned out but I did become numb to the suffering of patients. I viewed them as a task that needed to be completed.

Basic Life Support. In short, just your Airway, Breathing, Circulation. Trauma was a major part of mine. Study your skill sheets at LEAST three times a week. You'll know where you are by seeing where other students are. And finally, don't freak out about the tests. At the end of the day if you've done as well as you can, no complaints.

I'm hoping I get that way quick. I have an interview with Rural/Metro out here in AZ in just a few days.

And then there's chrush syndrome and rhabdomyolysis.
>>
>>31167511
recommend me some reading medbro
preferably medical reading

By the way, which tourniquet would you professionals recommend? I'm sure different one do different things better than the others. CAT and SOF are the most common ones here.
