I was not aware they were available to the lay person.
I might, might be okay with TraumaDEX but under no circumstance would I endorse them to carry Quickclot.
I would be okay with a CLS or an ODA team member who has received medic cross-training and specific training on the uses of HCA's using either, but I think the lay person would be too quick to use it. We have enough trouble in EMS with medics skipping the BLS skills and going straight for the perceived cooler ALS skills.
Just my.02...
What about you, additions/deletions?
