10:19 the basics on clotting are this:
If you are actively bleeding, clotting in the wound is good. It’s part of the healing factor, stops bleeding.
If you are not bleeding at all, clotting is bad cuz it’s inside you and stops blood flow.
Yes, exactly! Outside clots: good. Inside clots: bad.
Fucked around and started nursing school due to the worry
Hell yeah, we need more queer people in the medical field!
my great aunt US Army Major Kathy was a combat medic / hospital anaesthesiologist who served in WW2, Korea, & Vietnam. She taught me 1st aid when I was 8 , including tourniquets because she saved 30 using tourniquets, and lost her fiance because she couldn't get the tourniquet on his leg in time, so she watched the life drain from his eyes.
Wow she sounds like an incredible person. I'm glad she taught you what she knew!
Your aunt is a badass.
@Trash-Garbage-Trash I honored her on memorial d ay! by writing an essay on the time she took me to do calisthenics at dawn at the air base
Sadly, she's in the same place were most ww2 vets have gone! to that great big war in tge sky (wow warvreally ruinss the heaven metaphor!)
I am considering not only trying to get more medical training, but provide more first aide/cpr courses like I taught in the past, and I am more likely to be carrying at pride events next year. I will be civil and not open carry and especially not Long Arms. I will also go through a conceal carry course. It is nice you let our your fear.
With that said, I am an army medic and I have the exact skills you are talking about. We need more like you.
Thank you! Yeah, I would love it if every queer person in the world would take a stop the bleed class, and as many as possible build and carry IFAKs.
See? Us 2A guys aren't so crazy now are we?
A moment of paramedic levity for you. One of my brothers is an EMT/Firefighter (Structural and wild) and at one point was teaching new medics at the community college. So he starts a class with a scenario and after laying out the scene ends with "Now what do you do?" The first person to raise their hand said "Call 911!" So of course my brother had to respond "Good instinct, but you ARE the 911 first responder". So yeah, even just going through the first aid manual for for scouts can be a big help and keep a good head on your shoulders.
That's hilarious! You are 911. That got me lol.
Stuff like this is why I only go grocery shopping very early as soon as the store opens.
Being prepared makes me feel a lot better and makes me a lot more able to go places and do things.
I hope not, but things are getting crazy and worse. If I were in control, I would have armed security at pride events.
I - and a lot of people - have mixed feelings about the idea of security at Pride. Even the best community defense organizations can have problems and at worst security means police, which can make the event unsafe for many members of our own community.
I promise if pride events had armed security, they wouldn't be there to protect the queer folks.
Better for us to attend trained and armed.
Pepper spray, batons, walking sticks, blades, spiked bracelets, a roll of pennies in each fist, etc. Get creative
There are a hell of a lot of ex military trans people and ex military queers in general that have been extremely active where both visible and subtle security is needed. There are several actual organized groups, but also just having queers that are trained in first aid and defense support just existing at pride has been a thing for decades now.
Not to brag, but a large chunk of elderqueers have had our asses bashed so many times as kids that we ended up collecting useful defense, first aid, and De-escalation skills like Pokémon. Hashtag not all queers of course, but a sizable enough population. We didn’t get this old by passively taking a beating after all.
Do we need organized hired armed guards at pride? Probably not… but you’ll be hard pressed to find an elder queer who doesn’t bash back in self defense, and there’s more to safety than showy security guards with guns. Especially where kids are concerned.
Gen X here. There were no "safe spaces." In my opinion, they've made us weak, and with im the victim mindset.@CraftyVegan
I don't join parades, demos in general due to anxiety.
But I do live in Berlin, I do party at BH, and other smaller queer parties, and I think about this all the time anyways. Part of the reason I go to BH, is that that place is like a bunker and can easily be locked-down.
I won't give up the gatherings that make me part of a community and I always think about what I would do in the worst case scenario. If we are prepared for the worst, we are ready for anything less stressful.
Yeah I find I have less anxiety if I have a plan. Exits, IFAK, etc.
Considering how hard it can be to get into BH without weapons you'd hope that place is very safe lol
@@LuluTheCorgi true enough.
Maybe you know already, but just to break it down for anyone else reading after having visited BH for a over a decade. Having started working with some of their security/door staff at music festivals as well. The hardest part about getting in is simply not being a regular, most people hear "not today" the first time, but that's because the place has been open in some form since the 90s and they focus on local culture (do not read "german" here) before tourism as there is only so much space. They only have space for like 1500 on a club weekend (~30hr party), and they certainly have more regulars than that, so it can be tricky with space.
BH is the most inclusive space I have ever been in as a crip trans person.
Thank you for this. You've got me thinking... even aside from the long history of political violence in my country (both homophobic and otherwise), I'm part of a queer community group where our membership skews older (as in, I'm in my early 40s and I feel like "the kid" a lot of the time), and we have to consider that accidents, heart attacks etc. are not uncommon. I'm going to bring to the group the question of whether we might be able to access a funding pot to send one or two of our regular attendees on a First Aid course - or indeed identify whether anyone in the group is already certified via their work, as that would be valuable to know.
Your video also made me wonder about the locations of our public defibrilators: I used to live opposite one, but I couldn't have said for sure where others where. I've learned that there are many around the UK and, while there are maps online, the advice is always to call 999 in an emergency and ask for the ambulance service to tell you the location of the nearest one, as they will be more up-to-date. It doesn't look like we have one in our LGBT Centre, so I am going to ask if that's something we might be able to fundraise for alongside other groups who use the building.
Yeah there are a lot of health issues in the community that can be accounted for. I think more covid prevention is one we continue to ignore despite many of our elders living with HIV.
24:40 that's just common sense
Here's the rules for interacting with police
1. Don't
2. Seriously just don't
3. If you can't follow 1 and 2 look for the most respectibility politics looking mfer and send them
Yes, exactly!
This was lovely; hardly trash/garbage. Thank you for being you and for your work ❤
Thank you!
Thank you so much for these resources! It's terrible that we have to be prepared for things like this, but that doesn't mean we can pretend dangerous people with bad intentions don't exist.
The steps needed to be more prepared to save a life are truly worth the effort considering what's at stake in the rare event that it happens to you.
Absolutely! The classes are very accessible! The equipment is less accessible but definitely worth it if you can get it!
_We keep us safe._
Thank you for sharing this and looking up EMT certifications now.
Hell yeah, we're all we have. I hope you can find an affordable program near you!
this is good, but I think coming armed might be a good idea too, that way if someone does try somthing like doing a mass shooting, we can as a community deffend ourselves from such people, and honestly either guns are banned (super unlikely given the climate) or the left needs to start arming themselves as well, since we often can't trust police to protect the community, not saying that first aid skill are not somthing everyone should learn, but that in a situation like that it's better to be able to defend oneself and the community, and for the community to be prepared to act in mutal aid of one another; we don't want to reach the stage of a strong millitant right wing, and a weak pacifistic left wing, although non-violenent ressistance is good, their comes a point when peace no longer an option, like when violence breaks out against one's community, mutual aid and deffence become important, so I think everyone on the left should get armed at this point, especially given the hard right turn we have seen, and the amping of violent extremism on the right, we would be fools on the left to not arm ourselves in such an enviroment.
Yeah, I think you should look into John Brown Gun Clubs, there are many regional ones. They're decentralized armed community defense organizations which organize locally to defend their community including queer events from bad actors. Look into it. We have two of them in the Appalachian region (that I am aware of) and there are several in the pacific northwest area too, and I believe some in Texas. They do things like combat training, weapons training, and community defense actions. In m opinion, first aid should be first. Everyone who wants to participate in community defense, especially armed, should learn first aid before they ever pick up a gun. If you want to be armed, you should know how to stop the bleed. Because accidents happen. Cops shoot each other all the time. Friendly fire, misfires. If you carry a weapon, you should have stop the bleed training. Most cops don't even have the bare minimum first aid training and that makes them far more of a liability to the community they pretend to serve. I don't want JBGCs to be the same as cops. I want them to be trained in these skills too. First aid should come first. Luckily it's very accessible, if you can afford a gun you can afford an IFAK.
this is another fantastic video. Love your work. Thank you for this
Thank you! I hope all queer people (and allies!) will take a Stop The Bleed class this June. It's a very accessible course, we just need to get the word out!
"Don't think about the bad things" I always hear that. I felt that😓
This year I couldn't go to the pride parade due to illness, and nothing happened thank folk for that, but if I did go I was going to bring my knife(for self protection) and a towel to use as makeshift tourney.
(Edit: now I feel like I look like a potential knife wielding mentalist... but its one I carry all the time. And I am trans-nonbinary meself)
Luckily I have military background so I am trained somewhat. My country doesn't have gun violence but we do have knife wielding mentalists, and the popos are woefully ill prepared. Great video🙌 Take care and be safe yourselfs!
I also pretty much always carry one, and I definitely always carry IFAK supplies, which are even more important in this kind of scenario.
Ever heard of toxic positivity? Kinda reminds me of that...
Basically means forcing yourself to be happy no matter what even going so far as to ignoring reality for the sake of happiness, which can actually turn out to be very harmful.
I'm trying more to face my fears, even if it's scary. We can't let them win after all. (This isn't always the right choice as well though, life is complicated )
@@Akab oh yeah as someone with a lot of anxiety I am so familiar with toxic positivity. It often feels like everyone is constantly telling me to just be an entirely different person, someone carefree and normal. Sorry the only way I can be carefree is if I'm prepared for things to go wrong. That's not a negative quality.
@@Trash-Garbage-Trashit can be either positive or negative
It saved me a bunch of times in sketchy situations but it also prevented me from doing a lot of super fun things that realistically aren't that dangerous
Its hard to find a balance between the 2
@@Trash-Garbage-Trash I literally have so much to say that is in line with what you are saying, but I will hush cos I know it will just devolve into trauma dumping...😵 but I know, its such a pain.... *hug emoji
As a former tattoo artist and semi-current home healthcare provider with 20 continuous years of first aid/CPR/bloodborne pathogens certifications and practical experience, I feel like I’m morally obligated to go to pride this year…
(Spouse is former military medic, so I have a “battle buddy” going in at least)
Ps, CPR doesn’t require breaths anymore. Just chest compressions. Patch the big holes first though. Or get someone to help and verbally acknowledge directions and say everything out loud. No one is psychic
Absolutely! Thank you for being prepared!
Trash, another fantastic video. I really hope this one gains some traction because this is all great information and you've explained it all really well - and still really entertaining
Thank you! I hope so too! I want every queer person to take a stop the bleed class as soon as possible!
Very informative thankyou for uploading this!
Thank you for watching!
Being from a small backwater country (Austria) where nothing ever happens (and if something happens, it doesn't stick in people's minds), I didn't considered anything like that. On the other hand, there was an attack plan for Vienna Pride last year that the security forces foiled before anything could happen. So probably a good idea to be a bit prepared.
Why again aren't we teaching this stuff in schools, with a refresh every year or so?
Be safe out there!
I think they should teach it in schools! They have cut a lot of health curriculum in US schools because it's not part of standardized testing but this would be the perfect addition to a high school health class. You wouldn't even have to include things like mass shootings, severe bleeding happens everywhere, kitchen accidents, hunting accidents, car accidents. It's a basic skill everyone should know.
This is one of the most important videos I’ve ever watched
Thank you! I hope everyone takes a class and builds an IFAK!
Very nice. I'm kinda nervous now because I'm thinking of joining my first pride. Granted, I live in a country that rarely has any muskets out and about but you never know.
But I'm curious now if there are any sort of militia guarding these events.
Some pride events and other queer events request protection from John Brown Gun Clubs (named for a famous armed abolitionist who died for the fight to liberate the enslaved), which are affinity groups who sometimes come to events armed to provide protection. They aren't technically militias as militias are not legal in some states or regions in the US.
@@Trash-Garbage-TrashAh, gotcha. And the first aid material is helpful too and I'm taking notes. Thanks a lot
Don't be nervous, be prepared! Statistically, it probably won't happen to you but if it does you can take steps beforehand to be ready if something does happen. And it's not just Pride, things happen everywhere. My friend is alive today because his wife stopped his severe bleeding from a workplace injury.
If you aren’t here in America, you’ll be fine lol
@@biowareeagifts7964 you could always consider taking part in a smaller, yet more relevant, radical pride march and have even less to worry about
Thank you for making this! It's important and valuable info.
i have very very extreme allergies to common medicines that are used in almost every situation, do you think it would make sense to write name/allergies/ emergency phone numbers on my arm? i’m a minor and i don’t want to make myself more viable to being hurt after the event
You should get a medical alert bracelet! EMS are trained to look for them. You can buy them online and have them personalized with allergens, and even emergency contact info. Maybe ask your adults or medical providers about getting one!
Good on you for being pro-active with training. Some intrusive thoughts are there to protect you....
Absolutely! Thank you!
I cannot stay conscious or otherwise awake around blood. I'll bring up the rear, bake the bread, keep the store... stuff like that. I can do a lot when I am conscious and awake. Not so much when I crumple into a pile of fainted dood. FTR
Hopefully everyone around you will be prepared then! Everyone has different skills and we need everyone!
It’s smart of you to think and be safe.
Thank you!
I actually closed my Amazon tab 🤣
I'm so glad! It's full of counterfeits! I hope you can put together a good kit! Thank you for watching and taking it seriously!
Trash. I love this video. I don't wanna Sharp shoot because at the end of the day, getting any info out can create interest for everyone to find. My IFAK for a situation like this is a small bag slightly bigger than an fanny pack. I typically have two CAT or SWAT TQs, 4 Quick Clot gauze and 4 zpack gauze. 2 4" Emergency Truama Bandages and 2 chest seals.
In a case like this with many possoble casulties, make everyone in your group carry an IFAK with the Butch Lesbian carrying half her bag as an extended truama kit. Lastly, learn how to improvise pressure dressings and dare i say it a tourniquet (last f-ing ditch, can be done, but you have to know exactly how to make one. I have done it real world).
Last part, you did address a way to decrease bystanders assuming someome else will act by making them accountable. Do so as best as you can. Also, always have a Cis Het Passing White Guy. Unfortunately, I AM that guy. However, i am very good at delegating tasks as needed.
I do have my disagreements on exactly how you view the police, but ultimately yes police are not going to let first responders in quick enough because "The Scene is not Safe." That is where people like you and me come in. We can provide the aide from the inside.
Lastly, if you are an off duty first responder, find out the emergency plans of tje venue as best as you can, know escape routes, and try to establish to CCP.
Thank you! Yeah, for people like you and me the police are very often a safe option in this kind of scenario. That's not true for everyone which is why we have to be the ones to do it if we can. My kit is also a little bigger but what I try to consider is that if the kit is too big, many people won't carry it. As we learned during the latest pandemic, people won't do things if they're too inconvenient. I want people to have a kit they will carry. I have extra gear like airway stuff and a compact bag valve mask, but for the average person I think they should focus on building a kit they will actually carry with them. Which for most people means focusing on only the essentials they will use. The more hemostatic gauze the better imo. I also keep narcan in a separate pocket. During my clinicals we used a hell of a lot of narcan.
I think I'm afraid of improvised tourniquets because my EMT instructor showed us several videos of them failing. I think the statistics were really bad too. But it's a good skill to have if you can get really good at it
@Trash-Garbage-Trash yes, in my case my car as a full truama set capable of treating up to 3-4 severely wounded people to include blind insertion advanced airways and NCDs, but that is the military in me coming out. Also then the bag has enough booboo and and basic meds for a small army, with that said, I keep that at the car. I carry a much smaller kit with me everyday, almost exactly like what it above mentioned. In a gallon zip lock bag in a small gym back or in a fanny pack. Yes sometimes i am the male version of the butch lesban that carries everything and is designed queer momma to all.
@Trash-Garbage-Trash precisely why I don't teach it in most cases in first aid classes. I will teach it in CLS (Combat Life Saver) classes due to the fact sometimes you don't have enough tourniquets. As I said, even with the IFAK in combat or very bad occupational accidents you can have multiple deep arterial bleeds to 2 or more extremities and IFAKs only carry one. If you have a lot of supply and a good medic, everyone carries two more on their body
@@wesleybarrett9502 yeah I have two, I was taught you need at least two. That's what I recommend in classes!
I went to my first pride as the lead volunteer and I was worried the whole time about something like this happening & the festival heing on national news or something. Luckily nothing like that happened but I am so worried about the rest of pride month for all the rest of the pride festivals safety.
I hope nothing happens but I want everyone to get prepared as if it will. I'm glad your first pride as a lead volunteer went well!
@@Trash-Garbage-Trash it was such a beautiful event. Gotta be one of the most fun days I've ever had in my life. Lots of doors are opening up for me too due to the work I did for my city's pride festival. I encourage everyone to consider volunteering at their city's pride festival. It's an amazing experience
Wishing you safety, solidarity and support from Canada. I promise I'll be on the front lines in my city at every protest I can attend. And volunteering all year round
Thank you! Stay safe out there!
@Trash-Garbage-Trash honestly I'm way more concerned about everyone south of the border- physical safety wise.
When you said "cancel me if you want to" i knew you were going to say "find a white guy"
What a sad, strange world we live in indeed...
It's really unfortunate but "Find a white guy" is a solution in many instances. For example, when trying to get healthcare, it's recommended to bring a white guy with you to repeat everything you say but in a whiter, manlier voice. And it actually works. You get better healthcare doing that.
Leaving a comment for the algorithm, thanks!
Thank you so much!
This video was very informative, thank you! also could you make a video about minor safety at pride?
I would say it's the same as everyone else: stick with your friends, don't drink because you're a minor, don't go to a secondary location, tell your adults where you are (if safe), keep your phone charged, watch your drinks (do this everywhere all the time tbh) and get the same training as adults would. You'll be ahead of the curve. Most Pride events are very minor/child-friendly and if they aren't, they won't let you in.
@@Trash-Garbage-Trash Thanks! I have been to pride a few times but I wanted to learn to be safer for this year and future years with everything getting worse.
Thanks for this information and raising awareness
Edit: I would like to invest a bit in building a proper IFAK and learning how to use it, as well as taking a CPR course, and ofc small stuff like carrying a small thing of alcohol spray, Neosporin, and some bandaids, because why not. I’d like to get a cute and organized easy to access bag that’ll fit the kit, my phone, maybe a water, and small essentials like products for sexual health and the ones I mentioned above like alcohol spray and band-Aids. It sounds like a lot but most of this stuff doesn’t take up much space, and I’ll likely still have room in the bag as well.
One of the main reasons I carry sexual health items isn’t because I plan to use them but because I’ve been sexually assaulted ( raped ) and if other people need something I could provide something basic. I am ace and already have a partner that I love and care about, but it’s more of a safety thing.
If I go with them this will be my first pride event, I’m young and didn’t come from a place where I felt comfortable going out, so it’ll be a first for me if we go this year or next year, they’ve been before
Thank you for watching!
15:29 I always thought they only cut what was needed. Cutting EVERYTHINF? Seems wasteful of time and clothes
It is. There's a lot of controversy and debate about it in the medical community because of patient dignity and yeah, destroying their property. But it really depends, for a severe multiple traumas it can make sense. I've heard some really upsetting stories about "trauma naked."
Very good content in the face of doomerism!
Thank you!
I don’t doubt it. Hate, anger, malice, it’s all over the place as of lately. In a lot of ways, this has become a war. There’s bad actors on both sides, and it’s a snake biting its tail. The violent people on both sides have led to an endless perpetuation of hate. Violence is not the answer. Both sides do it though. I just want the fighting to stop.
What mass murder terrorist attacks have leftists done lately? I'm not aware of any.
Your very cute
um, thanks lol
In the independent art world, there are literally thousands of designs that portray violence and even death towards non-lgbt people. There are so many of these designs if I was reporting them it would take up all my time, i would not be making art anymore I would just be reporting violence towards straight people all day every day. This is not a one sided thing, and I do not blame people for reacting to what has been forced on them.
Now question, is that violence directed at them BECAUSE they're straight, or are you only pretending to care for a gotcha?
Evidence or bust, my friend.
What does this have to do with my video about preparing for the mass casualty events the FBI has warned are likely going to happen to our community this month?
there is a universe of difference between a teenager with 100 twitter followers saying “punch cis ppl lol” and a right wing radio personality with millions of listeners telling their fan base that queer people are predatory degenerates who need to be suppressed by any means necessary for the good of mankind
In countries where same-sex marriage is legal there is no longer a need for feeling a victim
"Feeling like a victim" is a weird way to describe taking proactive steps to be more prepared for relatively common events like severe bleeding.
You can just say you pretend to not see any injustice instead.
That would be so much easier for everyone.
Ah yes because homophobia ended when same sex marriage was allowed. Don't mind the hundreds of anti queer bills or the increased social ostracism that comes from it, I'm sure it's fine. I'm sure the increased risk of getting murdered because of you being yourself is completely normal, or countries where you can be executed by being queer. I'm sure it's fine
@@TheGreatBackUpVIDEOS "You can just say you pretend to not see any injustice instead."
What kind of injustice are you talking about? Men can marry men, women can marry women, just like men can marry women. And this was the only injustice, which has now been repaired.
"That would be so much easier for everyone."
It's not a matter of being easier. The time has come for people to look inside themselves and to stop blaming everyone else or society for feeling a victim. Take responsibility for feeling a victim, because in reality nobody cares enough as to purposely victimize others.
@@viejolincanada Y'know what, let's put you on a 10 year waiting list for healthcare necessary to start living your life.
Let's have campaigns and political groups dedicated to labelling you the worst thing since cancer leading to ever soaring rates of hate crimes.
Let's have you risk being abandoned by all your friends and family for traits you have no control over.
THEN you can start pretending everything's hunky dory.
Now buy a gun 🔫 and become a certified marksman. Then you'll be real field medic. ⛑️ Have a med-bag on one shoulder and an ammo bag on the other.
I've had a concealed carry license for over a decade. I grew up in the rural South. I'm relatively experienced with guns.
Now I'm of the opinion that everyone who wants to do armed community defense should get first aid training before they ever touch a gun. First aid training is helpful in a lot more everyday situations than a gun. And it's accessible to people who don't feel owning a gun is right for them. First aid first. That's my opinion.
