Lone Star Medics course: Medic 1 4/1 - 4/2 in Ft. Worth

[01yz2nv]

I'm sorry but I see this as a money grab. There's no way in hell you are gonna cover all that material in a form that you'll retain in 2 days. Not to mention withought a med bag you're really not going to be able to do anything anyways. I can see the cpr portion and basic trauma being useful. There is a reason medic school takes 6 months to 1yr +.

I know I've talked to a few people about taking a medic class. Seems like when we've had range GTG's, hardly anyone has an IFAK or tourniquet. Anyhow, class is $350 for 2 days. Here's the info:

This is our most popular two-day course. This course is perfect for those with little to no previous first aid training. We will cover aggressive first aid for moderate to severe injuries/illnesses. Adult, child, infant CPR w/ AED (American Heart Assoc.) will be taught on the morning of the first day. Throughout class, each student will learn by minimal lectures, plenty of hands-on skills practice, and multiple scenarios involving role players. The students will participate in the skills training as individuals and as a team throughout both days. CareFlite will fly out a helicopter, real life missions and weather pending. Some of the subjects covered in this course:
