[QUOTE="GnometownHero, post: 3654027, member: 47828"] I bought this trauma kit from Brownells, quick clot, tourniquet, lots of dressings, EMT shears, some serious wound care stuff. I added things like my Army field surgery tools, extra scalpel blades, suture stuff, I also have a US Special Forces medical book that really explains hydrostatic shock and tissue damage from GSW and shrapnel wounds. I recently used up a bunch of first aid kit contents from the 3 regular Walmart bought kits when my foot got hurt bad. So I combined alot of things into the new kit. I have some pretty good trauma experience over the years, worked head injuries, eye injuries, internal bleeding, cardiac and stroke, mountain sickness, pneumothorax, electrical shock, crush and compartment injuries and severe bone breaks and things like dislocated shoulders, dental emergencies. Little first responder hack to share, if a small child has a severe cut and bleeding, use a diaper or feminine napkin to dress it with. The ER can weigh it and determine the amount of blood loss. Tampons and feminine napkin products make excellent dressing for severe cut or penetration injury from GSW or stabbing. I worked as an ER tech and EMT, did employee safety, first person on scene at some gnarly car wrecks and a truck vs train. But dealing with rowdy grandkids, elderly relatives and drunk/stupid friends got me alot of practice fixing boo-boos [/QUOTE]
