Why should I take Street Medicine?
Public protest is one of the best ways for the collective society to get their grievances addressed. History is filled with examples of where a peaceful protest has gotten more accomplished than armed revolution. For the most part protests are free from major issues and concerns but this does not mean that they are free from injuries or illness. A twisted ankle, a heat of cold related emergency, or any other medical concern can occur at any time. Beyond that we find ourselves in situations when that peaceful demonstration becomes violent, whether through the activities of outside agitators or through other means, people can get hurt, they can be impacted by chemical irritants, tasers, smoke and gas, as well as less lethal projectiles, or injuries sustained while being detained.
It becomes vital to have a team of individuals who can render aid at the event, Professional responders will be delayed until the scene has been cleared by law enforcement which could take several minutes in a volatile situation. Providing bleeding control, chemical spray treatments, and other care can often assist a person in being able to leave the area and either obtain private transport to a medical facility or be moved to a safer place for Emergency Medical services to respond to.
The class is going to teach:
Basic First aid skills
Hands only CPR
AED use
Seizures
Treating pepper spray
