I was fortunate enough to take MDTS' (www.mdtstraining.com) first offering of the In-extremis medical course. It was a 3 hour extreme medical block which covers extreme wound issues.
Half the class dedicated to classroom instruction and the second half dealt with hands on approach which covered self medical treatment of the use of a tourniquet and then applications to someone else, wound packing techniques and wound dressings. Excellent class which was primarily instructed by EJ Weeks. A beneficial course for anyone to help assist those around you especially those you love. Knowing what to do in extreme cases where high loss of blood is an issue can be the tipping point between life and death until medical professionals arrive. I recommend courses like this highly.
Notes after:
upgrade my tourniquet
look into petroleum impregnated gauze
invest in an Israeli bandage
look into a yoga block for practice
practice often and provide my new knowledge to my family
