I don't need to be a cardiovascular specialist or anything, but after taking CPR certification and attending the local gun store's class on treating GSW's, I feel I would like to know more about treating wounds.
Say I encounter a car wreck, or am in some Walmart when some nut goes jihad, how do I properly help someone bleeding out? I have basic gauze and bandages, gloves, etc but really want more training. Anyone know a hospital that offers training, or perhaps an EMT class would be best...

I don't know about any local training.
This has some good info on first aide self help for stopping bleeding. http://a.co/4aqteiZ I can't get the link to work, I'm copying and pasting it from my Amazon app. |

Checkout Forsyth Techinal Community College...good programs. The NC Community Colleges train most of the EMT folks in NC. |

Guilford Tech has a paramedic course there. I guess it's still there. I was there 36 years ago. It was a two
year AS course. Most places now do a certification course of around 9 months IIRC. It is in Jamestown. |

Where did you take the class on treating GSWs? I would be interested in taking that.

You might also check with your local Fire Dept.. They probably do some training in-house to keep First Responders up to date on protocol and such. Maybe they would allow public participation. Just a thought. Never hurts to ask.

Red Cross is an often over-looked option.
