Tactical Response - Immediate Action Medical

[Shay VanVlymen]

May 1 - 2, 2008
Immediate Action Medical
Seymour, IN

Here is the course description:

This course was designed from the ground up to train a person with no prior medical experience on how to keep a victim of a violent crime or terrorist act, like a stabbing, shooting or bombing, alive until an ambulance arrives. This course is narrow in scope and will center on assisting victims of violence.

This class includes training on tactical safety and how to prevent injuries, moral obligations to render aide, legal issues like the Good Samaritan laws, biohazard precautions, the physical and mental effects of adrenaline, the survival principles, communication, trauma kits vs. first aid kits, scene safety, anatomical stopping power, patient movement, assessments, proper ways to stop the top 3 gunfighting injuries (blocked airway, critical blood loss and Tension Pneumothorax) as well as the Mindset, Tactics, Skill and Gear you need to keep someone alive until medical assistance arrives.

Students will participate in and watch other students in multiple practical scenarios where they will be guided and tested on how to provide care under stress.

2 days/$400

Notice this has been up for a couple of days but 0 posts. This kind of training is incredibly important but not very glamorus. I applaud the company for putting it on in our state.

No doubt, even for those who have some degree of training.

Where will this class be held?

I'm interested, but have to wait and see if I can get the time off. Our HK pistol / MP 5 class may get cancelled due to low attendance, if that happens this will be a real possibility.

Thanks for providing the opportunity.

Seymour PD is hosting. I don't know the exact training location yet.

It's not that. I don't have $400 to spend on anything. My income all goes to rent, food and gas.

There's always money for guns and gear. That's a truism. Training doesn't even make the list.

Lack of money is the reason I was attempting to sell those guns.

Sorry if I stepped on your toes. I was speaking in general terms and not about your specific situation.

Training is a too often a very low priority and most people who claim that it is too expensive have no problems coming up with the money for another gun or two to tuck away in their safe.
