Other than that his math is spot on!  |
M5 bag ??
Seriously ?
You know those things don't have ANY velcro on them - no fastex buckles - and they dont come in multi-cam...
...you'll die of old age if you are waiting for a modern day 18D to show up carrying an M5 bag.
M5 bag - thats a hoot.
Anyway, on a more medical note - you make administration of epinephrine sound so complicated - well, I'm an old-school ACLS graduate and I like to keep it simple - I only carried the preloaded syringes - you dont have time to waste in a crisis - here's how I remember it...
When you're giving an injection of adrenalin straight to someone's heart you cant forget about the breastplate n front of their heart, so you gotta pierce through that.
What you gotta do is bring the needle down in a stabbing motion - you only gotta do it once, but it's got to be hard enough to get past that breastplate and into the heart.
Once you do that, you press down on the plunger and they come out of it - just like that.
...pretty trippy
