Here's a video I made on tips for dealing with wounds when you are far away from medical care. How to deal with major bleeding and when to and not to close wounds. How to clean the wounds and avoid infection.

I am kinda partial but, yes, Dr. Meade is good people and squared away emergency med doc. Also serves with a swat team. Craig Flaherty is a genuine door kicker on drug and felony raids. This is going to be a great class.
