    As a medical professional people often look to you for direction in almost any emergent incident. With several decades of medical and rescue experience, the most complicated incidents I have encountered have been on my "time off" with no equipment available. In this class we will gather medical information in preparation for foreign travel and practice improvising the medical equipment needed for care and extrication. Stop the Bleed skills and TECC care will be practiced along with use of multi-victim triage.
