For anyone interested, King 33 has a 4 hour medical class coming up on Arpril 18. Here's a copy from the discription. I took the class two years ago, it's well worth it. Taking it again, No afiliation, just passing it along.

Bleeding Control For The Injured
4 hours 6p-10p
Certificate included

Bleeding Control for the Injured (B-Con) teaches participants the basic life-saving medical interventions, including bleeding control with a tourniquet, bleeding control with gauze packs or topical hemostatic agents, and opening an airway to allow a casualty to breathe.
