I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of the goat lab as being a current exercise for combat medics prior to deployment.

I guess they could use welfare leeches for trauma training.

The "use the simulated people dolls!" to a medic is akin to someone saying "why don't you just shoot him in the leg?" to a cop.

They're anesthetized, then inured. I don't see how it's any different than a slaughterhouse. In fact, with the anesthetic, you could make the argument that the animal suffers less. |

ARGH!!!! So fucking frustrated. I know first fucking hand this training saves lives. I expect this sort of shitbag behaviour from Humane Society an PETA shitbags. I am torn on the .mil response. I would like us as a nation to be proud of the training we give our medics and corpsmen. I want to shout it from the highest rooftops. When I see the military being very quiet and secretive, I wonder if that is the best strategy to ensure that as many medics as possible get this training. Somebody mentioned 18D training, these guys are awesome. PETA is moving in down the road and has (had) billboards up for a while. |

Conlee said lifelike dummies that actually bleed and simulate the human anatomy are far more realistic for trauma training.
Nope, those plastic dummies suck for training. I trained on those and you can never get serious with them. |

That training is great, and should be implimented on a larger scale. However, it's not logistically feasible to do that, and when you have Guard and Reserve guys who need to be brought up to speed in a hurry, this training is very very good thing. |

Please, explain to me how shooting a pig is better than working on an actual human that was the victim of a shooting? 
The only problem is you can't run that many people through ride along type training with ALS fire departments/ambulance companies. |

No, he has a point, but neither is an ideal situation. The Special Forces 18Ds do just what he's talking about. They have the funding and the time to do that though. Your 68Ws and Hospital Corpsmen don't have that luxury. Working in an ER to gain experience takes time, and it takes a lot of planning, though when you're done you'll be pretty up to speed. It's pretty limited what you can do when you're new, though. I don't know an ER that will allow you to do some of the stuff medics do in a goat/pig lab, at least not right off the bat. Doing a goat/pig lab can take as little planning as two weeks of real work (in the real world the planning takes a lot longer), and give a lot of medics/corpsmen a decent amount of good training on the cheap. |

Yes, but even more so: Stuck pig =/= battlefield trauma Logistically it's likely easier than you think. We have rotators through the ER all the time. Most administrators and ER physicians are happy to help in the Lear ing process. Seriously, even working in a trauma hospital in a combat zone is going to be more educational than capping a few pigs behind the barn |

ER time can be done easily if everything works, but it can just as quickly be a pain in the ass to get all your guys through with enough experience. With pigs you get a consistent amount of experience spread through each person you have, and it will happen when you plan it. Additionally, a decent amount of the training in this is focused around bleeding control, and learning what works and what doesn't. That means allowing bleeds, then finding out exactly how much pressure it takes to stop it, or how tight the TK needs to be, or what have you. Correct me if I'm wrong, but many patients coming into the ER will already have some manner of interventions with regards to their major bleeds. Yeah, you'll get some people still leaking, but will you let a medic learn how to control it on his own on a human patient? Especially when the best way for him to learn his mistakes is because the patient expires? Not going to happen. Plus, there's all the surgical interventions that I'm pretty sure aren't allowed at civilian ERs by an EMT. |
