Jacamo...that cracked me up... majic!

Sounds about right. He did pass out in my passenger seat enroute to the ER, let go of the tourniquet and start pumping blood again, until I shifted into second gear and used my right hand to cinch him up tight again, hold in place with one hand and steer with the other.

 

 

 

As fate would have it that particular day n time? North Torrey Pines Road south was being re paved that day and was closed. So I straight across and directly into the parking lots of the adjoining neighbors of the ER, busted through their hedges n dividers n lawns to finally make the ER, still in second, and movin at a fair clip. I was less than two miles from the ER, at a condo, in La Jolla, luckily.

Fair play mate, in those situations 90% of people will flap and not know what to do trained or untrained!!

 

I know in the UK because of our NHS fast response ambulances will get to you before you could get to an A&E in most cases, (providing your in an area that can be accessed by the emergency services) so best practice would be to keep the casualty alive until someone more qualified gets to you.

 

I can't comment if that would be the same in the rest of the world because I haven't experienced it.

As already said we develop different muscles to carryout the work we do just talk to a good sports phisiothropist, I had to see one a couple of years ago and they were surprised what muscle I was use in my arm to carry out a exercise they gave me.

I've been exposed to enough gore in civilian life, at work and at play, to get the merest whiff of what PTSD must be like for soldiers in the thick of it. The adrenaline rush, the frenzy n confusion and anger.

 

Each time follows the same pattern of coming down from the adrenaline high afterward, the seeking of solitude, and tears of relief, quite cathartic IME.

 

I don't doubt a lotta guys are far more stalwart and less cry babyish about it afterward, than I am.

 

There's a bond that developes between friends n coworkers that don't lose it when carnage rears it's ugly head, repeatedly.

 

One of the reasons I also carry Saran Wrap clinging plastic stuff in my modified medkits, for sucking punctured lung wounds, way out in the desert, miles n miles from an ER.

 

I also mimic the Baja 100 desert racers on murdersickles, by carrying a healthy supply of Percs! Percodan or Percocet, both work pretty well on me personally.

It goes from bad to worse. Sucking punctured lung wounds? ..... You've been right unlucky, jomoco.

[Joe Newton]

Got to be honest, mate, i'd love to hear how all of these extreme measures were needed?

[jomoco]

I confess to a sense of amazement that the basic steps I've taken to be prepared for the eventualities I've faced and dealt with both in this biz and at play, strike a few of you as extreme!

 

It's like some of you are non-believers in Murphy's law, and a standard first aid is just fine in this biz, cuz UK EMT's are so quick?

 

I got news for you Brits under the spell of such nonsense, wake up!

 

This is a dangerous biz cousins, and being prepared for the inevitable if you stick with it long enough to be an elder's a real good idea, mates.

You haven't got news for us Brits, you're talking ****. Firstly it was fitness, now it's First Aid, make ya mind up.

[jomoco]

Physical and mental fitness Eggs, think about it.

 

I've been a foreman, my whole career, I'm responsible, not the friggin EMT's.

 

What's your beef with being prepared for life n death situations whether at work or at play mate?
