Just jumping in, haven't caught up at all, this post lands at random, etc.
Basically, here's what I learned at the training today (presentation given, regarded active shooter situations, by a nurse/las vegas concert attendee).
*You'll likely react in one of three ways--run, hide, and/or fight. No judgement. It is what it is.
*But yeah, if you have any sound mind, try to run, get concealed if or when you can't run, know what's actually concealing versus covering you.
*Cell towers may get intentionally cut off by law enforcement on account of bombs can be triggered by cell phone.
*Tournequets are, to put it glibly, "back in fashion." Seriously, though, they used to teach them, then they didn't, now they totally do, so if you, goodness forbid, need to help someone with a gushing extremity wound, strap a tournequet on there super tight--if they complain loudly then you're doing it right, then blot the excess liquidy blood real quick, shove gauze or whatever you've got, in the wound, really pack that crap in there--again, victim will likely yell at you if they can but you have to just do it. Then press on that horrid mess until the end of time or when EMTs tell you to stop.
*It's all very scary. They sell the cool easy to use tournequets we are using online now, per the woman sitting next to me's tablet.
The rest of the day was about opiates, fentanyl and their possible, terrifying, potential as weapons of mass destruction. Doom and gloom day at work today.
