Their mission is to put a medically prepared person in every family for disaster situations. If you’re not familiar with Doc Bones & Nurse Amy let me introduce you by borrowing some info from their website www.doomandbloom.net

As a beginning homesteader, knowing what to do in a medical emergency on the farm or homestead is a must. Let’s face it – any disaster, short term or long term, puts your loved ones in jeopardy without medical preparedness. Whether it’s creating a splint or a quick “band-aid” for a temporary fix until the professionals arrive, having a person or persons in your home prepared to rise to the occasion can be the thing that helps save a life!

This course is designed to impart medical training class education (combined with some hands-on skills) to non-medical professionals. The class is about 8 hours long. Drinks, snacks and lunch are included. A light breakfast of danish and coffee will be available but a healthy breakfast before you arrive would be best to keep your mind sharp and alert.

It includes medical training in:

• Patient history and physical exams
• Antibiotics in emergency situations
• Bleeding Control Class: Management of hemorrhagic wounds
• Wound management
• Multiple injured individuals
• Respiratory/GI infections
• Complete Wound Care Class including: suturing and stapling hands-on with pig’s feet

You will receive the following equipment, to take home, for attending:

• 1 blood pressure cuff
• 1 stethoscope
• 1 suture kit
• 1 staple kit
• 1 Israeli wound dressing
• a DVD copy of every single slide you will see during the class
• a copy of the Suture/Stapling Class DVD (with audio)    And more!

When: Saturday October 20, 2018. Arrive at 8.30am. Class starts at 9 am. Ending time depends on how the class moves through the topics, which includes the suturing and stapling hands-on training course.
