Brilliant idea and I look forward to seeing the results.

First off, thanks to RoyGBiv for his hard work in putting the class together, and to MedStar and our instructor for a good class.

My medical knowledge is limited. I have a first aid/CPS course under my belt, but nothing beyond that. With that background, this class was incredibly useful to me.

I now feel very confident in my ability to properly assess and work a trauma situation and at a minimum limit the damage until the real professionals get there to do their thing. I also have a good idea of what my "shooter's med kit" should look like, and will be putting one together soon based on what we learned in this class.

For 1 day and $50, I couldn't have asked for a better course. It wasn't incredibly in depth, but that wasn't the intent. If you're an EMT or a Doc....this class isn't for you. If you're the average CHL holder who would like to be a little more prepared for anything life can throw your way (an accidental shooting at the range, a car wreck, a coworker's heart attack), this is the best ~8 hours and $50 you can spend to get prepared for medical traumas.

If they hold another course, I'd highly recommend anyone who was on the fence about taking this find the time to do so. It could very well save a life.


Also, lunch was fantastic. The folks who weren't adventurous enough to wander over to the Caribbean place with us missed out on a great meal.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.

Registered this morning. Thanks for putting this together.
