First aid and medical training

NIN · Post by **NIN** » 20 Feb 2007, 10:52

Since both Spetznas and Allied-SF will sometimes be far away from the main "Berget area" I strongly urge all of you to brush up on your first aid education. You could get this from your local red cross or you could together with your team take a course of first aid to further ensure YOUR safety during "Berget".

You will be tired and will be moving sometimes swiftly in rough and rocky terrain. People will fall and hurt themselves, all of the crew will have basic medical training, and we have a doctor and other medical personel. Still what you do to your friend who is hurt can be the difference between life and death. To be able to stabilise someone until medical personal can arrive to the scene of the accident.

Post below how you plan to maximise our safety during berget. And If we have players who are nurses, doctors or have military education as a medic please list that below in this thread. So we in the Spetznas/SF-crew can get a rough estimate of the medical competence in our respective groups.l.

I'm currently serving, and i am certified level2 patrolmedic. I'm working my way up to a level 3 (the highest medic education possible in the army).
I'll be carrying a "live" MEDpack 3. Which contains stash to treat everything from blisters to serious gunshotswounds.

I'll also follow up my teammates continuesly to check stresspoints like; feet, dehydration, heatstroke, nutrition etc.

If anyone has any questions, I'm just a PM away

2 field dressings
1 Large field dressing

Maybe a stupid quiestion, but can we (all) buy this pouch at B5? Or could this be so arranged??

maybe stupid answer: Take a medikit from your car and put it to the green "army" bag and you have field medikit.
It is good solution for you. Also is possibility to buy it in any pharmacy store.

I'm a former police-officer and momenterely a security officer and I'm up to date on my first-aid courses. Within my team I will be one of the "off-game" medics, unlike our "in-game" medic.

Hi,

I am the ingame medic but have no certificate of first-aid. that is allowed right?

I do have a professional first aid kit including dental kit, blister kit, needles (?), a lot of different bandages
also original dutch army bandages, also for wounds from burnings

It is allowed, we do however recommend all players to get a first aid education before attending Berget 5. You will sometimes have to fight in desolate places with poor communication.

in addition to this.. is it allouwed too have emergency flares with you..?

Finarvas · Post by **Finarvas** » 31 May 2007, 16:43

Not if you wanna use them ingame, flares are for emergency use only in Sweden...

That is the global idea.. but indeed.. my intent is for safety only not amusement!

But i thought i might be handy when you get separated or brake a leg or anything in that order..
