Before we move on to the hospital and treatment, etc., per, the first 30-45 min of this situation. What is the appropriate immediate response?
I am not medically qualified as a first responder, but I am curious on the right way to initial respond to this as someone who would want to help until a medic is found or transport to hospital is possible. I know more medical training is in my future to be able to do this "right enough" until better care is found.
As I understand the situation... adrenaline is kicked into high gear and possibly blocking any responses to pain, solider has to stay in the fight for the moment (and wants some heavy duty reprisal), rejecting closing up the wound because of build up and ease of breathing at the moment...
Am I to understand if the soldier can "work"... Let them work. The hospital will take care of the rest once the soldier is there? My part would be to make sure they get there pronto!
A couple of things come to mind after seeing this problem...
No exit wound, what stopped it? What is broke or near to breaking that I can't see and the soldier can't feel at the moment? How do I keep this soldier in the positive and not heading toward the negative?
The more you know...
