Where all things medical, from BOKs to IFAKs, medical pouches, contents, training, usage, etc can be discussed. Medical is currently intermixed between Outdoors (survival) and Armory (tactical gear). You have to dig through discussions on wheat and beans, plate carriers, pellet smokers and war belts to find anything medical related. |

This is my comment in the other current medical suggestion thread:
I've been in favor of one for quite some time and have made a suggestion thread or two about it. We have some very good medical folks* on the site that could contribute.
*I don't include myself in that description. I'm just a dumb radio DJ that decided to go to med school.  |

Quoted:
Doesn't look like this is going anywhere other than as a suggestion. At least we have a forum dedicated to shaving................... 
Another for grooming and haberdashery, and two for smoking/vaping. We haz priorities.
From a medico-legal standpoint, though, I can understand a reluctance to run a medical forum. |

I would seriously appreciate one official area for all things medical, since that would make things related to that so much easier to find.
I'm currently trying to dig up stuff to improve my current medical kit, especially since I'm surprised that not too many gun owners share my philosophy of "If you know how to make holes, you should know how to patch them up too (at least patched up enough to be taken to a medical professional to do a better patch up job than you)". |

Making holes is sexy. Plugging them isn't.

The silver wackos and anti vaccine folks generally kill any professional enthusiasm for participating in online discussions. I think three med forums would ease that. Western medicine Emt care Quackery 
Maybe re worded as: Currently practiced & accepted Evidence based in hospital medical topics pre-hospital topics herbal and "natural" care id think theres just as much "liability" for giving medical advice as there is for advising people on what weapons/ammo/tactics/body armor to use for the defense of their lives. Also legal advise is here in the droves as well, everything from what people think you should do when your child is in trouble, to how to modify weapons to stay in the "gray area" of the law. |

That's a better way to say it, or alternative medicine. Quoted:
I think I brought this up before, but don't remember what the response was. I'll see if I can find it. Whenever anyone's brought up medical forums in the past, the idea eventually fades. Because of that, I think it would be a big ask to get a single medical forum on ARFCom, let alone parsing it into several subs. Most other shooting/tactical (hate that word)/operations-oriented sites I perused in the past seem to have a single catch-all med forum, except for a few that have subs like professionalsoldiers and maybe LF (which I can't seem to navigate any more from iPad). |

I found the thread. The general consensus was that it was likely not viable due to liability reasons, although there were no responses from staff or admin/owners so, just opinions. I think it is viable, from a traffic volume and content standpoint, but I recognize the lack of desire to go there. |

Id be there a lot, the only other medical forum i found was on a zombie hunter type forum and it was........kinda a joke? LoL
Me bein a fulltime FF/Paramedic and having gone through numerous jump bag setups and have made many for other ppl, id love to have something like that on there. I think the liability argument holds no water because of my aforementioned reasoning. Could do a test run, id moderate it even if need be.
