Hi, I'm glad you joined the group. Your being a Medic reminded me that we rarely discuss medical prepping needs. Since I'm Old, I have augmented my prepping with Medical help. I got my Doctor interested in beginning prepping by giving him a loaded basic Bug Out Bag, two pre-programmed Handi-talkies, and a couple of ounces of .999 fine Silver and I got his Home Phone Number in case of an emergency. I have a separate Medical Emergency stash with a Stethascope, Finger Clip Oximeter, Surgical Clamps, Blood Pressure Cuff, Lots of various bandages and Medications and clotting powder, Biohazard suits, Gas Masks with extra filters, Potassium Iodide pills and a good Geiger Counter. I also loaded up with 90% alcohol, Hydrogen Peroxide, and some Witchhazel. Now that you're here, we probably should have more threads about medical emergency issues. Lately, we seem to be stuck on politics and a different subject would be welcomed.

Wow, three pluses...Marine, medical, and NG!

Good group of eclectic folks with all levels of preparedness so don't hesitate to jump in if you know an answer to a question, ask a question, or wish to share a life experience. Also don't forget to check out the archives. Plenty of great stuff there.

I have been meaning to do some videos for my blog so I could probably cross post them here. I’d be more than willing to share medical information.
I would recommend everyone go to bleedingcontrol.org and find a bleeding control class near them! They are completely free! Most of my medical knowledge is trauma based but I am trying to learn more about preventive care.

There might not be a class available. Talk to local EMS, Emergency Management, or even a local trauma center. They might be able to help you out. Try and get as many people together for a class as you can. Most like to do about 10 at a time.
