    This seems like a good way to get sued. Outside of a clinical setting no one should be using any prescription meds without a script from a doctor. How would you know if someone is allergic to any of those meds and how would you treat them if they had a severe reaction? Remember that even paramedics have a scope of practice and a medical director who determines what they can give and when to give it. If something were to happen I bet your PharmD friend would quickly become your ex-PharmD friend. I sure wouldn't want my license on the line because I supplied you.

    I can provide current Army Combat Lifesaver course slides to anyone who sends me a PM containing their email address.

    Thanks, Dinny

      I agree. Nowadays it's all about hasty and deliberate tourniquets, hemostatic bandages, chests seals, needle decompressions (delayed evacs) and basic airways.

      I'll try to find a decent online slideshow or training that all can easily access.

        Here in Colorado, we have someone who does 5 or 6 Casualty Care classes during the year that was derived from North American Rescue. I thought they had a national training program, but am unable to locate.

          Thanks Dinny.

          I found a couple of them searching yesterday.

          I just want to find the right gear to have packed and know how to use it. Maybe an affordable set up so I can have a couple sets in different places.

          I also found a very interesting article in the Guardian about using gun wound training as a way to rally against terrorism. Wouldn't it be cool if the NRA sponsored this kind of training and maybe help bring some non gun oriented peoples opinions around to our way of thinking about.

            I know this is an older thread, but still an important topic. DHS actually funds stop the bleed classes all over the U.S., some have a nominal fee many are free.
            About the program: https://www.dhs.gov/stopthebleed

              As you might surmise from my handle I am a fan of the wheelgun and have personally seen the 500 S&W "double" on three occasions. It is a pretty well documented phenomenon. The all too frequent and sophomoric practice of placing a big bore handgun or long gun in any novice's hands has earned a severe tongue lashing from me and my escorting these individuals to the gate of the private club that I frequent. Our bylaws require and empower each member to ensure safe and proper conduct by our quests or any visitor to our facility. It is also required that such behavior is reported to our range master and if they were asked to leave they must appear before the board to ask for reinstatement.
