[QUOTE="Honey Badger, post: 3790909, member: 4896"] I fear you don’t know you’re audience as well as you think you do. I am a he, not a she. More importantly people who have it all figured out in this thread have failed to see the most basic point of dealing with school shootings after bullets have ripped through a body. basic cpr, basic wound care, minimal medical knowledge are not going to be of much assistance. Sure….. a superficial flesh wound. A nick. A clean pass through of a “meaty” area. The real issue here is internal bleeding. punctured lungs. Severed arteries.I can go on of you like. We don’t have the training to deal with this. The state cannot afford to train us to deal with this. The likelihood of a school shooting at our place of employment is very unlikely. People come and go from the profession every year. Hell for that matter every day. We are not, can not be trained on that level. Doesn't mean we won’t try to help. Hold a hand. Say a prayer. Offer assistance to trained medical professionals. But the reality of this whole thing is that the state does not have the resources to pay for the training. Or supply school districts with the equipment you would find in a trauma center. Another reality is that any class we take on our own won’t help when a a bullet has set a child’s life on a collision course with death. We are trained to get the living out of harms way. Hide them. Keep them as safe as we can. And that’s it. [/QUOTE]
