How would this differ from the army combat lifesaver course? We did all basic stuff, treating for shock, splints, first aid for sucking chest wounds (they all suck) and my favorite, starting an IV. At night with NODs on! I like to watch hardcore grunts that can do the near impossible pass right out upon presentation of the needle. "The showing of the instruments!" as it were.
We did not do sutures though. I've picked up other things here and there, my mother is a Vietnam era nurse (and still a nurse today). I have an SF field medic manual. But there are some things I'd like to pick up still.
So I'm not in an ER or trauma setting, but I would like to know the difference between this and combat lifesaver. I don't want to waste my time (well, not time really, more like money) on something I've already been through and refreshed on too many times.
I went to the link, but didn't get my question answered.
