I think you left out one important skill set needed.

Quote:
Imagine you’re at a shooting range and the person next to you has an accidental discharge that hits you, your friend or a loved one. What would you do? The hospital is 30 – 45 minutes away and an ambulance will take 45 minutes to an hour to respond. If you were out hunting in a field somewhere it could take even longer. Do you know what you should do to increase the odds of survival for the injured person? If not, this course is your answer.

Emergency Treatment of Gunshot Wounds is a course for anyone who spends time around firearms, whether it be for hunting, recreational shooting or personal protection. Designed by an emergency room physician and taught by an EMT, this course teaches the lay person the skill set needed to effectively treat a person with a gunshot wound. In this hands on course you will learn how to access and evaluate gunshot wounds, how to minimize or stop bleeding, how to correct or maintain a compromised airway, how to properly prepare a wound for transport to a hospital and how to treat for shock and handle patient duress.

You will also learn the difference between a first aid kit and a gunshot trauma kit and how to use both. Additionally, you will learn how to assemble and use an inexpensive, pocket-sized gunshot trauma kit to keep in your range bag, hunting jacket or anytime you’re around firearms.

If you spend time around firearms for any reason, the information you will learn in this course could save your life or the life of someone you care about. Sign up today to learn this critical skill set.
