this was one of my favorite videos from the mayhem
everything about it is funny
soy boy gets shrapnel in his leg and the war zone medics apply a tourniquet as he cries that he might lose his leg

wait until you see the “wound”
I see CHOP has no gloves.
Can’t Mommy drop some off?
Well, he wasn’t going to lose the leg from that scratch, but the tourniquet those morons put on him would do it.
Not sure if he is screaming and crying because of the cut or because he has a whole pile of morons trying to treat the cut who have no clue. LOL
Thanks for the laugh!
That was pathetic.
Let’s see if my ancient training still makes sense. Puncture wound/bullet wound field treatment.
1. Check for both entrance and exit wounds - if both present treat exit first (larger).
2. Stop bleeding using pressure and dressing, if not arterial. Elevate wound if possible. Begin treatment for shock, keep victim calm. If wound is very grave, tell victim it will be ok - DO NOT SHOW THE WOUND TO VICTIM.
3. If wound is to abdomen, do not reinsert any exposed intestines. Wrap them outside of body to keep clean. Tag dressing for medics so they know contents.
4. Arterial wounds will have definite spray - apply tourniquet IMMEDIATELY between heart and wound. DO NOT APPLY TOURNIQUET for non-arterial wounds. Monitor closely until trained medics arrive. Tourniquet applied for over 15 minutes may result in amputation. Releasing tourniquet pressure will result in extreme pain for victim - only do so to save an extremity.
Readers digest version, circa 1980’s - 1990s. I’m sure things have changed.
Wow. It wasn’t even bleeding
