I’ve been posting a bleeding tip of the day on Facebook, and teach the course for my hospital.

I have taken this class and I teach this class.

Unofficially is that it does lack chest trauma.

If you read the report that it was based off of then you understand that chest trauma in the civ world is a danger.

I was checking to see if program was posted here or not. I put it up on another forum that I frequent. I'm planning to take the class when the weather stabilizes a little.

AZMedic, I totally agree. I think this is the "new" change that will be taking place with this class and teachings. In combat zones we don't see this much chest trauma, we see arms and limbs and pelivs. Well American's or the rest of the world for that matter doesn't walk around with body armor. Chest trauma is the most frequent injury that is killing people NOW or I guess always has but we didn't know what to do with it. So I suspect after SOMA and CoTCCC this year, we will see more specifics on dealing with chest vs abd etc...

I agree with you. But poorly provided medical care sometimes does more harm than inaction. This leads to the fact that we simply have to learn to provide first aid and understand at least approximately how urgently it is necessary to deliver the victim to the doctors.
