WEBVTT

00:06.240 --> 00:08.240
you know , what is the focus of the

00:08.240 --> 00:10.462
combat like the basic purpose of combat

00:10.462 --> 00:13.290
lifesaver courses to teach the marines

00:13.290 --> 00:16.550
how to take care of somebody ? Should I

00:16.550 --> 00:18.606
not be around or should I become the

00:18.606 --> 00:20.760
patient ? How many hours ?

00:21.940 --> 00:24.560
It's generally , it's generate an all

00:24.560 --> 00:26.616
day thing . The marines to come in .

00:26.616 --> 00:30.220
They do all morning classes with power

00:30.220 --> 00:32.331
point presentations . And then in the

00:32.331 --> 00:34.442
afternoons we come in after lunch and

00:34.442 --> 00:36.220
we'll sit down and do practical

00:36.220 --> 00:38.220
application of everything that they

00:38.220 --> 00:40.276
learned during that day . Well , how

00:40.276 --> 00:42.164
many people are marines are fit ?

00:42.940 --> 00:45.051
Generally , what we like to see is we

00:45.051 --> 00:46.910
like to see 25 marines per one

00:46.910 --> 00:49.480
instructor you get any more than that

00:49.480 --> 00:51.760
and the marines start losing instructor

00:51.760 --> 00:53.950
time and hands on . So we generally

00:53.950 --> 00:56.790
like to keep it that size . Why do you

00:56.790 --> 00:58.910
think the coast is important ? The

00:58.920 --> 01:01.087
course is important for me for selfish

01:01.087 --> 01:03.850
reasons . One day I could very well be

01:03.860 --> 01:06.430
be the patient and if I don't have

01:06.440 --> 01:09.810
marines trained up to do my job , at

01:09.810 --> 01:11.699
least some of my job , then those

01:11.699 --> 01:13.810
marines can't help me when I become a

01:13.810 --> 01:17.460
patient or should I not be around

01:18.040 --> 01:20.040
during the , during the course , we

01:20.040 --> 01:22.262
cover all your basic airway , breathing

01:22.262 --> 01:25.350
and circulation injuries . We cover

01:25.350 --> 01:27.461
anything from massive hemorrhage down

01:27.461 --> 01:29.406
to penetrating , penetrating chest

01:29.406 --> 01:32.200
wounds . And yeah , that's basically

01:32.200 --> 01:34.970
your main , your main concerns is abc's

01:37.540 --> 01:39.707
lot of folks like , you know what type

01:39.707 --> 01:42.410
of things ? Back up , practical

01:42.410 --> 01:44.243
application normally consists of

01:44.330 --> 01:47.170
placing burn dressings to applying

01:47.180 --> 01:50.460
tourniquets to putting on

01:51.340 --> 01:53.451
inclusive dressings and needle Taurus

01:53.451 --> 01:55.673
and pisces , which is the process where

01:55.673 --> 01:57.618
you stick a needle into somebody's

01:57.618 --> 01:59.784
chest to relieve a pneumothorax in the

01:59.784 --> 02:02.640
field ? How do you believe these skills

02:02.640 --> 02:04.918
will help the marine outside of common ?

02:05.240 --> 02:08.190
Uh , the marines will have the skills

02:08.190 --> 02:10.440
outside of combat , say they're driving

02:10.440 --> 02:12.662
along the road and they come across the

02:12.662 --> 02:14.829
a traffic accident and no one's around

02:14.829 --> 02:17.107
that . They'll successfully be able to ,

02:17.107 --> 02:19.218
to at least manage or stop hemorrhage

02:19.218 --> 02:21.660
and control a person's airway and

02:21.930 --> 02:24.097
they'll know the signs and symptoms of

02:24.097 --> 02:27.080
what to look for for a , an incident

02:27.080 --> 02:29.690
like that . Not saying that the marines

02:29.690 --> 02:33.570
should be doing combat related health

02:33.570 --> 02:35.681
care in the , in the civilian world ,

02:35.681 --> 02:37.681
but they'll at least have a general

02:37.681 --> 02:39.681
knowledge of what to do when they ,

02:39.681 --> 02:42.220
when they run across it , how this

02:42.220 --> 02:46.200
girl's the useful in our well ,

02:46.200 --> 02:48.367
in a natural disaster . Uh , it's kind

02:48.367 --> 02:50.589
of no holds bar when it , when it comes

02:50.589 --> 02:52.756
down to your health care . It's , it's

02:52.756 --> 02:54.756
very similar into what you would be

02:54.756 --> 02:56.867
expecting to be treating in a natural

02:56.867 --> 02:58.867
disaster . Like you got all of your

02:58.867 --> 03:01.033
massive hemorrhage and airway concerns

03:01.033 --> 03:04.050
and the marines should have no problem

03:05.510 --> 03:07.732
identifying and seeing the similarities

03:07.732 --> 03:10.610
in a natural disaster versus a combat

03:10.610 --> 03:13.140
related incident . We have some

03:13.140 --> 03:16.850
examples with the like fires we

03:16.850 --> 03:20.350
cover , we recover in extent burns and

03:20.350 --> 03:23.000
how to manage burns and all that , all

03:23.000 --> 03:25.222
the indications that you need to have a

03:25.222 --> 03:27.222
life threatening consideration with

03:27.222 --> 03:29.333
burns . Uh , you cover crushing chest

03:29.333 --> 03:31.500
injuries , which if you're inside of a

03:31.500 --> 03:33.710
building . Um those marines pick up

03:33.720 --> 03:36.240
rubble off of a person's body and now

03:36.240 --> 03:38.190
they know how to manage and treat

03:38.200 --> 03:41.260
crushing chest injuries in in all the

03:41.260 --> 03:44.540
other random things that could be that

03:44.540 --> 03:47.060
could happen in an explosion . And I

03:47.060 --> 03:50.410
should say , do you feel

03:50.420 --> 03:53.200
confident with the marines abilities ,

03:53.200 --> 03:55.200
what they've been through ? Because

03:55.200 --> 03:56.978
some definitely , I always feel

03:56.978 --> 03:59.033
confident with the marines when they

03:59.033 --> 04:00.978
get out , they go through a pretty

04:00.978 --> 04:03.200
rigorous test , much similar to the one

04:03.200 --> 04:05.478
that we do not as an in depth as we do ,

04:05.478 --> 04:07.644
but they they get theirs and they have

04:07.644 --> 04:10.830
to compete , complete the course to my

04:10.830 --> 04:12.870
liking . I don't pass them unless I

04:12.870 --> 04:15.090
feel that they could save someone's

04:15.090 --> 04:19.060
life and the in the field . Oh ,

04:19.540 --> 04:21.596
specifically with earthquake to talk

04:21.596 --> 04:23.929
about , you know , Kristen chest injury .

04:23.929 --> 04:26.040
What are some of the other injuries ?

04:26.040 --> 04:28.262
Say you could envision a marine will be

04:28.262 --> 04:30.040
able to take care of no kind of

04:30.040 --> 04:31.818
situation , marines could cover

04:31.818 --> 04:34.650
anything down from , from the massive

04:34.650 --> 04:36.483
hemorrhage to being able to stop

04:36.483 --> 04:38.206
bleeding , using your pressure

04:38.206 --> 04:40.510
dressings to managing a patient's

04:40.510 --> 04:42.560
airway too .

04:44.340 --> 04:47.410
Anything , the similarities in a , in

04:47.410 --> 04:51.090
an IED explosion , as opposed to a

04:51.380 --> 04:53.324
anything exploding in the civilian

04:53.324 --> 04:56.860
world from , from falling or fires .

04:56.860 --> 04:59.340
And it's very similar like it's trauma

04:59.340 --> 05:01.284
medicine , trauma medicine doesn't

05:01.284 --> 05:05.200
change . Um whether it's an IED

05:05.200 --> 05:09.000
explosion or you getting hit through a

05:09.000 --> 05:11.222
windshield of a car , trauma medicine ,

05:11.222 --> 05:13.111
this trauma medicine , it doesn't

05:13.111 --> 05:15.278
change . So if they know how to manage

05:15.278 --> 05:15.240
what they're doing , they're going to

05:15.240 --> 05:18.360
be successful and Mhm .

05:19.640 --> 05:21.862
Why do you think it's important for you

05:21.862 --> 05:24.029
to be able to use these skills outside

05:24.029 --> 05:27.660
of combat ? Yeah . The marines needed

05:28.040 --> 05:31.020
need to have a general knowledge of

05:31.030 --> 05:33.086
these things because when they're in

05:33.086 --> 05:35.308
the barracks or they're out in town and

05:35.308 --> 05:37.197
they see someone who needs help ,

05:37.440 --> 05:39.607
they're not going to be the indefinite

05:39.607 --> 05:41.662
care but they're gonna be able to do

05:41.662 --> 05:43.884
what it takes to keep that person alive

05:43.884 --> 05:45.829
until the Ems or fire fighters and

05:45.829 --> 05:47.996
paramedics show up and they'll be able

05:47.996 --> 05:50.720
to successfully stop and treat any life

05:50.720 --> 05:53.130
threatening injuries until indefinite

05:53.130 --> 05:55.130
care shows up ? Because I mean like

05:55.130 --> 05:57.241
what you're saying about how they can

05:57.241 --> 05:59.352
help them help somebody survive . How

05:59.352 --> 06:01.519
important do you think it is that more

06:01.519 --> 06:01.460
people have this kind of knowledge

06:02.240 --> 06:04.407
outside of the Marine Corps and in all

06:04.407 --> 06:06.629
reality everybody everybody should have

06:06.629 --> 06:08.851
some general knowledge of health care ,

06:08.851 --> 06:12.290
be there CpR certified or they just

06:12.410 --> 06:15.750
have a general knowledge of everything

06:15.750 --> 06:17.861
because you never know when and where

06:18.440 --> 06:20.607
you might be able to help somebody and

06:20.607 --> 06:23.650
save somebody's life . So because you

06:23.650 --> 06:25.761
guys teach promised so much you think

06:25.761 --> 06:28.670
that that that will help them ? Well he

06:28.670 --> 06:30.448
said that that will help people

06:30.448 --> 06:32.740
international . Is that ? Yes . Why do

06:32.740 --> 06:34.962
you think it's important for marines to

06:34.962 --> 06:37.073
know how to not just because they can

06:37.073 --> 06:39.073
help somebody figure lives , but do

06:39.073 --> 06:42.450
they help their families cells ? Okay .

06:43.040 --> 06:46.320
Oh yeah . I mean if you know how to

06:46.330 --> 06:49.450
successfully manage somebody who's in a

06:49.450 --> 06:51.617
trauma situation and say you were in a

06:51.617 --> 06:53.839
traffic accident with With your friends

06:53.839 --> 06:56.061
and family and you were the only person

06:56.061 --> 06:58.283
there for 10 minutes . This class could

06:58.283 --> 07:00.450
help you like this class is gonna help

07:00.450 --> 07:00.030
you . It's going to make you be

07:00.030 --> 07:02.920
successful 12 to extending the life of

07:02.920 --> 07:05.190
those around you in that instance . How

07:05.190 --> 07:07.412
important is those first couple minutes

07:07.412 --> 07:09.412
when somebody is actually doing the

07:09.412 --> 07:11.468
trauma medicine ? Well for I'll just

07:11.468 --> 07:14.020
give you a A shocker . You've got

07:14.020 --> 07:15.853
approximately 120 seconds before

07:15.853 --> 07:18.980
somebody bleeds out Of your moral

07:18.980 --> 07:21.036
artery . Say you lose your leg , you

07:21.036 --> 07:23.980
got 120 seconds And 120 seconds of that

07:23.980 --> 07:27.150
marine hesitates . That person is going

07:27.150 --> 07:29.940
to pass away . Same as in the civilian

07:29.940 --> 07:31.829
world because you're a marine and

07:31.829 --> 07:33.718
civilian doesn't mean there's any

07:33.718 --> 07:35.829
difference in your body . If you spot

07:35.829 --> 07:37.996
something , they'll be able to to help

07:37.996 --> 07:37.060
out
