Webelos Scouts Pays Off

Helper and I are working outside. Hear a large crash from inside. Ol baw walks outside calm as a sloth on Xanax and says,"Y'all need to take me to the hospital." He is holding his arm where a broken mirror cut him straight to the bone. I grabbed a rag and applied pressure and elevated his arm. My helper called 911. My helper--who is an Eagle Scout--remembered his first aid and applied a tourniquet, which probably saved the dude's life. Even with first aid, he lost about 1.5 pints of blood. EMS took the guy straight to Trauma and then up to surgery.
Then I mopped up a bunch of blood and went back to work.

Obvious brag thread is obvious.

Amateur.
I know one guy who made his kids get so serious into that crap all the way in to high school. They probably could have done the surgery with some string and twigs, sent a smoke signal for a medivac and thrown down some homemade organic coagulant to clean up the blood.
We went fishing one time and I had to put the crickets on their line because they were "yucky".
So there's pros and cons.

Shiiiiit....I learned how to do that from watching Terminator 2. No scouts required

There is data though I believe that shows those who go through scouts growing up make better homemade bongs when in college. Look it up.

This guy?
Also, Eagle Scout is quite a few years and whatnot past Webelos. But that's good that his first aid kicked in! If he's still active in Scouts, perhaps there is some award for which you could nominate him.

I was the Webelos Scout. My Leader was an EMT.
Helper made it through Eagle.

Good work. You have to admire people who can take a gnarly wound and remain calm. I sure the hell can't.

Wait...you had to bait the hook for a Boy Scout?
Sounds fishy

Cool story, but the Eagle Scout was a boy scout, not a Webelos Scout.
Webelos are cub scouts.

None of that story was actually true

Weblos are not equal to Eagle Scouts.

Never said they were. I just so happened to learn first aid from an EMT when I was in it and it always stuck with me.
It just so happened that my helper is an Eagle Scout, and they learn lots of first aid as well.

That's great to hear but he learned that in Boy Scouts not Cub Scouts (webelos). Title should read "Eagle Scout probably saves man's life."

Wouldn't the tournequet squuez the arm and make the blood shoot out even faster?

That's the idea. You have to remove all cootie exposed blood first, fill him back up then stick a bandaid on it.

I know you are just doing your thing but I taught pre-hospital medicine for years and I heard people say stuff like this all the time. Trained people who should know better. Scary.

I doubt a bandaid would stop that much blood roger.
