Anyone ever use this stuff?

[miketx]

I bought some just to have. You never know when you may need a fast acting way to stop bleeding. So, anyone use it, or do I have to slice arm open to find out?

I've been using this for years

Can you locate your jugular? I'd recommend you test it there.

I do have military quikclot powder in my SHTF medical bag.
Paid $800 bucks and then some on stuff the bag didnt contain.
I have morphine,sutures,staples and gun and a host of other emergency items.
What I'm looking for now is injectable lidocaine for sewing up big gashes.
I figure if it gets any worse than that your probably gonna die anyway.

`How did you get morphine?

`How did you get morphine?

Buy it from a dealer.

At least when I worked ER we had a vasoline saturated gauze of some sort handy at triage in case some one came through the front door with a GSW or a stabbing in the chest. I do not even know how many time that has come in handy. Lets see, they came in a thin foil pack you pulled open from a split in the foil. and slapped it right on the wound.

Just stopping the open pressure area worked. Rubber gloves and pressure over the opening helps.

I've been taking the stuff for over a year for my hip and I just set aside the ones I dont use.
I have well over 40 tabs of the stuff at the moment.
They recently upped my slow release tabs making it possible to save the quick acting stuff.

I've carried quikclot in a trauma bag... never had to use it thank God...

I'm on a SHTF message board and one of the guys there is an ER Dr.
He said not to use the insertable tampons on a puncture wound because they can cause infections.
However the pads are great for blood loss.

A slice of poo-tang.
