>>1994177Not that I've done it of course , but 'supposedly' if you've got shitty receiving nurses at your local hospital, the move is to half dose your OD patients with Narcan on route, then hit them with the rest right as you arrive. Leave them to deal with the combative puking junkie lmao.
Honestly, for a local first aid kit, where you can have your injured person at a hospital in under 2 hours, tourniquets are completely valid options, there's even fairly debatable methods of preserving a limb past 2 hours via loosening and re-tightening but I haven't fully read the research. And if you're in the backcountry far from civilization, if it's a tourniquet worthy wound they'd be dead anyways, why not buy them some extra time at the cost of a limb.
Fucking inbreds in this thread thinking their god dam CPR course makes them an authority on first aid.
>picrel, the 'trained medical personnel' telling you tourniquets are LARPI've seen butterhuffers have an OPEN fracture of their ankle from stepping off a curb wrong, uncontrollable hemorrhages happen, there's no harm in being prepared for them
