Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)
I've heard the same rumor from multiple local leos but its just talk at this point. Not saying it isn't possible I'm just saying they aren't sending federal law enforcement officers/analyst emails discussing it. I'm confident of that. -
Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)
Unless it came from management regular FBI/HSI worker bees get very basic emails saying the same stuff we are being told. Telework as much as possible, social distance, and it's always a good idea for 2 weeks of goods. They don't send out emails about martial law, lock downs, or continuity of... -

Kristi's case is an interesting one for sure. I have a lot of friends who were up there looking for that poor woman. -

Like I've said before, anyone interested in being more prepared should take training courses. CPR/1st aid, wilderness 1st aid, TCCC, EMR, or EMT-B. There is a community college right now that offers an online EMT-B with in person practicals that can be completed in 8 weeks for around 500... -

I’ll guve it to you that it’s not peer reviewed. That’s because I’m grabbing articles between beers on my phone. Can you find a single peer reviewed article saying to use tampons for traumas? If you are a dooctor ( I doubt you are since you won’t come out and say it) there in no way you work... -

still wondering why our doctor here won’t say what he does to make him such an expert. Also wondering why he didn’t like me telling people to take TCCC/EMR/EMT classes. -

well in my very limited experience you will not find any trainjng or experts that’s says to use a tampon to pack a wound. It’s also being taught now that saline doesn’t do much for trauma it’s all about whole blood these days. In EMR training (the most basic certification the national registry... -
