The WRSA has another Practical Medicine course scheduled. This one will be in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, June 20 to June 22. This is excellent, very affordable training that is taught by an Emergency Room doctor with many years of practical experience. The course is subtitled: “Field Expedient Medical Care for Outdoorsmen in Austere Environments.” This course will fill you in on the things that the Red Cross doesn’t teach, like dealing with pneumothorax and gunshot wounds.
