      If you want to do this kind of work reach out to your local fire department or rescue services and see about enlisting/volunteering. Most areas always need rescue hikers/search party members and so on. Once you've got experience doing that stuff you could potentially move up to a rescue chopper with a few simple medical classes under your belt, many of which can be taken on weekends or in the evenings. Never give up, Im about the same age and only just started working towards my own goals.

      Mad respect to the crew on the boat as well for doing the best they could without training or proper medical equipment. They truly saved his life. Kinda scary that something as small and simple as a fishing hook can potentially kill you within just 2 or 3 minutes.

      Huge #3 halibut hooks are big strong with a big sharpened barb and if the ground line was still attach can pull you overboard in a hurry or as it seems in this case the pressure ripped it right out.
      When you are dealing with thousands of hooks flying over the stern very rapidly they will grab anything that those hooks can.

    It's kind of hard to grasp that these Coast Guard guys literally do a job that can threaten their
    own lives on a daily basis... that takes a certain kind of special individuals willing to do that
    for other people! To say I have great respect for them doesn't come close to explaining
    how much. These are truly real life heroes!

    Awesome rescue with the torn artery from a fish hook, but I wish some of the Rescue swimmers would further their training to administer IVs and pain meds. It seems once in a while there is a Corpsman on the flight, who has training with more advanced life support. This man could have used a few wide open IVs to keep him from going into shock. Very serious condition he was in. They are Heros, the Coastguard. Every day available to rescue anyone in danger.

    Please if you can learn anything from a random comment learn how to make a tourniquet from random supplies. 3in/" band is best anything smaller you can actually cause nerve damage to the limb you are attempting to save. Second high and tight! the lower arm is bleeding get one up in the armpit over the clothes to stop it then you can transition to a localized tourniquet 3in/" above the wound not on a joint! Seriously bleeding out is a massive issue and will kill faster then anything. Learn how to properly apply and make a makeshift if you dont have a proper tourniquet but remember it can always be replaced. PS if you apply a second lower tourniquet loosen the initial one otherwise you will cause compartment syndrome which is real bad.

    I wanted to join military in a life saving job but unfortunately both my parents became I’ll & in hospital @ same time. One had stroke other had severe reaction to brown recluse spider bite. Both almost died no other family members would help. They were all married with kids. I was youngest & single. Told me it was my duty. Tended to them for years until they died; even after I married & had 3 children of my own. Don’t regret tending to mom & dad but still wonder if things had been different where would I have been. I’m 73 now. 50 to 60 years ago my family threw a fit when I wanted to join military simply because I was a girl. My brother was lauded a hero because he joined. My how times have changed. I was blessed with 3 girls. No sons. All 3 served. One Air Force pilot, one corpsman for Delta force in army & she’s now a doctor & 3rd one top of class classified submarine hunter.

    Before seeing. I'm assuming commercial fisherman. The fishing line tournaquite should be effective. But then thickness is not an issue asking as it cuts off circulation. More important should be the risk of the line acting more of a knife and cutting the skin than not cutting off circulation

      @RedConOne86 4 роки тому +6

      Pretty much free barring a hoax, if you call them out with the intent of wasting their time at best you're likely to pay restitution of fuel etc. Beyond that if you genuinely need them, it is pretty much free. You dont pay for the fuel or expertise. There is a reason for that which is they do not want people too worried about the money to make the call. If you're sailboat is taking on water and you decide to risk making a dash to shore over calling for help type of thing. Dont get me wrong it costs money, but it is covered by the tax payers, not the people rescued. In fact i remember a story but not clear enough to give a lot of details, but i digress, a sailboat in the Atlantic that needed rescue after some British sailors attempted to sail through, i wanna say Super Storm Sandy. Sure enough it didnt go well and generally even when you make a stupid choice they still dont charge for the same reason mentioned before. If you need help they want you to call without reservation or fear of crippling debt.
