TRAINING TO TREAT TRAUMA

摘要

Medical issues can happen to anyone, from a rancher checking his fence line, to a hunter in a tree stand, to a cop patrolling a beat. Rural or metropolitan doesn't matter. Medical emergencies occur more than gunfights simply because there are so many different ways for casualties to occur. Consequently, a situation requiring immediate medical attention should be looked at as a when, not an if. I have admittedly neglected this aspect of training. Sure, I've had rudimentary first-aid training, but nothing that would make me capable of dealing with traumatic injury.
