As a medic and a parent I’ve found that when encountering an unresponsive child, you first, threaten to take their phone away. That usually clears that right up. If not, then check to see if they’re breathing, and then assess from there

No joke , about a week ago, a hit and run happened. Came across the body. Guy was covered in blood head to toe, pants halfway down his legs, arms broken , legs broken, shoes off across thw street. Seeing him struggling to breathe i couldnt do anything like a deer in headlights. I called the cops and could barley tell tge address i was at WITH GPS (Sadly). The phone operator said she would transfer me to ems so they could advise me on what to do if i was willing, i said yes. BUT AT THAT MOMENT, THANK GOD, A STATE TROOPER PULLED UP. APPARENTLY the guy couldnt breathe because after the state trooper rolled him onto his side the guy started screaming/moaning. Later on the news it said he wqs rushed to the hospital (not far away) with Serious injuries but expected to make it. Call it pride but the shame i felt not bein able to do anything made me feel useless! ( i felt like those on lookers who just pull their phones out to record but dont ever help) So its like Gods speaking to me coming across this video
@DoctorPrepperMD
Good topic. As an ER MD and previously EMT-I I notice how much people love to focus on trauma and choking and extreme events. All important but something I think gets missed are the “slow killers” like dehydration, infection, electrolytes etc . . . I think that in a SHTF situation knowing to treat basic stuff so it does not progress is super important. In a SHTF existence functioning at 100% will be necessary and illness/injury that drops you to 60% could be deadly. It is not as sexy as darting a chest, but keeping an extremity wound clean or treated to avoid sepsis or stabilizing a fracture/sprain so you can still function effectively and heal also super important. Definitely get this training and learn which basic emergencies you can abort with treatment but also think about talking to your doctor about getting prepper meds for infection, allergy and pain control and the education to know how and when to use them.

Medic for 15 years. The hysteria at the beginning was accurate by “trained” professionals. Excellent work guys, great knowledge in the video. Feel free to AMA.
@ashallen2835
I'm so glad I found this channel! There are so many things covered by you guys that I've wanted to get better at or learn, and now I have a reliable source!
@JSterling812
Y'all are probably the most underrated channel ever. Everything you cover should be taught to adult civilians.
@deangullberry5148
Recently found your channel, quickly becoming one of my favorites. Your content and production value are top tier. First thought was "OMG, he's gonna TQ his neck"
@SpeculativeDust
Jesus that went from "oh choking on a raspberry" to "omg did his esophagus just explode"? 😂
@dococ2690
Also: Train to drop an emergency call early on. You can easily stay on the line while applying CPR etc.
@BuckF0eJiden
This is an OUTSTANDING video. Without a doubt, the best expedient medical care demo I've seen in YouTube.
@nicks9541
Drew can’t catch a break in these intros 😂
@BuckF0eJiden
On CPR compressions, to get your rythm down for the first 2-3 compressions, say the number thirty-three, quickly, on each compression and then start counting. If you're doing compression only CPR, just keep reciting the number thirty-three. Had an old head who'd been a Combat Life Saver instructior for years give me that tip. There's a lot of songs that run that 100-120 BPM range, too. The number is the easiest to remember in the moment, though.
@bkm65659
I appreciate you guys. I paid a lot of money for training for the fantastic info that you guys are putting out for general consumption. I’m glad to see the availability of the information.
@maximiliantomasoski4032
To the camera operator(s), putting josh in the foreground of the shot with paul and all of his equipment being the focus, like at 10:53. Absolutely fantastic! It gives depth to the shot and makes it feel like you are standing there. 👏👏
@RobotPanda15
That beginning was outstanding. I took an Advanced Care course that was basically a "CLS enhanced" - teaching you what to do after the massive hemorrhage and bleeding control steps, and our exercise was mostly just understanding that the person in need was just diabetic and needed insulin. We went through every other alternative - heat exhaustion, dehydration, etc until we eventually went through her bag, saw the insulin, and inquired that thats what the major problem was. Really cool cause it still had us using what we learned - identifying key problems outside of MARCH to deduce issues - but in a more plausible scenario.
@JTimberB.45
Josh was really channeling his inner Michael Scott in that intro😂😂 your production quality has always surprised me, such good information coming from you guys. Thanks for all you do
@allcapsboy9139
the t-swizzy cameo at 50:47 is perfect content
@WarCrimeCook
Back in summer of 2000 I was getting my start staying with friends. The couples infant daughter came across a stick-on-nail and was choking. The mom was panicking. Fortunately I got trained in BLS while in high school. Was able to assess and address the situation calmly. The importance of that training isn't apparent until it's needed. Either prepared or not, no in between. Great video showing great demonstration and applications of the skills.
@LandonWest
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate a med video like this- especially the infant-related stuff as I’m a father with young kids.
