Well, I was trying to be serious, not condescending. That was not my intent. Apologies for not conveying effectively.
I will say this as I would to anyone face to face. Teaching pressure bandages for arterial bleeds is foolish. It will not work. Anything else is BS. And for those military instructors, well I can assure you that is not what is taught in the military. It is harmful to the readers of this board to emphasize or propagate the myth that pressure bandages fix arterial bleeds. Dude, you are a DM. You are supposed to know this stuff. It's in Rescue Diver, Master Diver, AND DM. I'm not sure what Home Guard exercises are, but if those people are teaching and evaluating pressure bandages for arterial bleeds, it's BS.
For everyone else reading, these interventions are meant to extend the Golden Hour of acute trauma treatment by First Responders. Safe movement to direct physician medical care is the end goal.
Storker, I am not being condescending, now I'm just calling out BS when I read it.
