    I'm becoming obsessed with First Aid

    LOL, I had students in the Caribbean (there are some decent med schools there, classes in English and everything) who were in their late 50's...talk about guts. A few were medical professionals (mid levels, one was a British/Pakistani dentist trying to become an oral surgeon), a few were very...

    I'm becoming obsessed with First Aid

    There was one or two anecdotal reports of severe burns from the powder. the USUHS did some tests and couldn't duplicate the problems. You know those surgeons, always whining when you don't tell them how great they are. Almost like fighter pilots :) As far as having to be surgically...

    I'm becoming obsessed with First Aid

    I disagree. They're called UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS for a reason. Back in 1983 (way before I went to medical school) I was just an EMT/SAR guy. Returning home from a training exercise I was first on scene of a pretty bad traffic accident, and as part of my attempts to render aid I crawled...

    I'm becoming obsessed with First Aid

    I carry, and have used, Quikclot....the powder (original formula) might have had some problems (all anecdotal) but the new stuff (combat gauze, sponges) is good stuff and I recommend it for anyone that might need it.

    I'm becoming obsessed with First Aid

    The use of home AED's doesn't have a great track record, either. Obviously, the first requirement is that someone ELSE be there when it's needed, to use it. But, be careful with your obsession: I had one and I wound up in medical school:Wow1:

    I'm becoming obsessed with First Aid

    You could be on a gurney in my (or any) ED for a hangnail, have a MI and the odds wouldn't be good. Or you could be on an operating table with a ECMO team standing by and your odds are still pretty horribly bad.

    yaesu 7800 remote mount speaker options?

    What he said. The very best speakers I've ever found are surplus Motorola speakers...built like a tank, heavy, usually available at ham flea markets and such. I also like surplus military vehicle speaker cases - get a new speaker (only) from RS or whatever and use the case with a new element...

    #1 Rule of Travel Photography

    Something I learned back when I first started using cameras with removable lenses (an Argus C3 rangefinder) is to ALWAYS have a sacrificial filter (skylight, or 1A) on the lens...when I buy a lens, I buy the filter at the same time, and it stays on forever. Until I scratch/break the filter...
