Tactical Treatment of Gunshot Wounds Course in Boone County, IN July 19, 2008

[Kirk Freeman]

I wasn't there to shoot and could really care less if we shoot in the class. I was learn to attempt to learn how to save someone's life, inlcuding my own, before the EMTs arrive.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does not carry a bag of saline solution around with them, let alone a bone gun.

That's a good point. I sometimes realize after a physics lecture that I've spent too much time talking about something I thought was cool instead of what I thought was important.

So, when you need fluids in a hurry, you won't get upset when you see me coming at you with a enema bag filled with salt water and a turkey baster needle on the end of the tubing that I'll slam into your shin?

When is that class?
Where do we sign up?
How much? Is there a charge at all?
What sort of pre-requisite is there?

In order:

• After somebody gets shot and there is no help available.
• Follow me around, no pre-registration is necessary, but you will need some patience.
• Charge will depend on if you are the victim or a helper.
• Prerequisites . . . willingness to follow me around until something bad happens!
