AED and CPR.

News flash. Just because you are CPR and AED trained doesn't make you useful.

FACT: Most people who are given CPR live only long enough for their family to say good bye. EVEN under ideal conditions.

TRUTH: You should only preform CPR in near drownings and electrocutions.

AED is utterly useless in a Zombie Day scenario. If you have to use an AED you had best get that person to a cardiologist.

AED and CPR patients would be given a Black tag in ANY mascal scenario. The outcome precentage simply isn't worth the medical assets. Meaning for all the time you spend to MAYBE save that one person. Other more preventable deaths will occur.

In a zombie day scenario you simply are not going to have the infrastructure in place to care for these patients nor the time. As cold hearted as it may sound. You need to let those people die. I know it is in our culture to want to save everyone. But that simply isn't the reality.

Now for the money and the weight you can carry a lot of things that can save peoples lives.

In modern tactical medicine we know that the top three causes of preventable death on the battle feild are Hemmorage (bleeding aka Hypovolemic shock) Tension Pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and Airway Obstruction.

Now with a weeks worth of training I can teach you guys to save a vast majority of the combat related patients with a lot less money than you would spend on an AED! No sales pitch. I am not selling some high speed medic training. Because I can't train you. I can give you some FREE internet resources to help you learn some of these skills.

Anyone in the US Army already gets these skills. It's called CLS. Combat Life Saver. In CLS there are some techniques that are so advanced that in the civilian side you have to be an EMT Intermediate to preform. But this is Z day and no one will give a ****. So I can teach you. Do you find this valuable?
