Rules: Tourniquet

 

1) If possible, apply it against bare skin. Use trauma shears to remove clothing.

2) The higher on the limb, the better.

3) It is going to hurt the patient, but keep turning until the flow of blood stops. 

4) If one does not work, use a second. 

5) Do the best you can. Medics will arrive soon. 

 

 

 

Lacking Gear

 

The shift used three tourniquets on Monday.

I used one to stop the bleeding from a femoral artery.

 

In the last few weeks, I've used three doses of Narcan. 

Restocking is hard, the stores are bare.

Evan IFAK kits are on back order.

 

The LT gave me her tourniquet, I

"work in stab city" and am likely to use it.

On the Jaw

 

In the Alphabet District, on Second, in the doorway of defunct business, I gave two 4 ml doses of Narcan to man with ACAB tattooed on his jaw and 5150 on his eyebrow. He started breathing, woke minutes later, and limped onto the gurney to recover at the hospital.

Ray's Off Fourth

 

 

Ray is raging again. He is the perfect storm of meth and mental illness. As we roll up, he runs up to Heartbreak and Shotte, screaming, "Who called you? I'm going to fight you."

As he points at their car, he stays, "I know you and I know you!. That is one and two!"

He sees my prowler and charges, and then stops as he sees me. 

He yells, "I like you!"

Ray yells to the spectators, "These cops are my friends. One, Two, Three! They will protect me."

Ray you got to go home.

Shotte and Heartbreaker endorse the idea and more.

It takes a minute for Ray to find his keys and gather his shoes, but he leaves and causes no more disturbances downtown for the night. 

 

 

 

 

On 5th

 

Somebody won a foot pursuit with a 20 year old tonight, and he might be over 50!
