    Relying on someone else to bring along a very complete first aid kit is probably not the best plan, but to each his own.

    For me, I'm an attorney that sues unprepared trauma surgeons. I have very little practical medical training other than the Wilderness First Aid course I went through due to the fact I do quite a bit of backpacking and hiking.
    You won't sue any trauma surgeons from events at a firearm training course. You'll be too busy suing the course organizer, or the firearm manufacturer, or the ammo manufacturer, or the weather man, or whomever else. As to blood-type patches, you'll also be wanting to be prepared to sue the hospital that gives a potentially lethal blood transfusion based solely on a cool-looking patch that the patient has velcroed on their clothing. If there was ever a hospital that was stupid enough to do that, they deserve your courtroom attention. I'd even volunteer to act as your expert witness. You'll need someone to give you advice since this is an area that you're apparently unfamiliar with.

    LOL----well, you passed the test, I guess. The better answer would be if, in a state where it is permitted, a paramedic administered a transfusion in flight and used a type other than O-negative, courtroom attention would be called for.

    I still suspect you are a recent graduate, but that's just my opinion and worth exactly what you paid for it.

    I suspect that I was doing trauma surgery back when you were in grade school.

    Everybody's getting along just fine. This is all just normal doctor/lawyer banter.

    Even casually trained people are better than no people when SHTF. Going over a TQ and an occlusive isn't brain surgery and I can only hope someone you feel safe shooting with is able to grasp those concepts easily. No needle Ts (DART Kits) and you'll be fine! Might want to throw in some general CPR into it as well.

    Olaes bandage is a great piece of kit that can cover many bases. Try getting a quote from http://www.chinookmed.com/ on a multiple kit order, they have always worked with me on prices for custom orders.

    Back to the Olaes, it provides you with multiple options and is highly effective for large wounds that are hemorrhaging.
