Tactical medicine, stripped to what survives reality.
Decision making, trauma priorities, and the quiet craft of doing the basics well—under pressure, fatigue, and imperfect information.
Hemorrhage control
Tourniquet discipline, pressure systems, and deliberate reassessment under stress.
Airway & breathing
Simple, repeatable algorithms—what you can do fast, clean, and correctly.
Tension physiology
Workload, fatigue, heat, cold—how the body fails before technique does.
Trauma priorities
Decision-making when information is incomplete and time is hostile.
Team drills
Short, high-frequency reps designed for retention, not theatre.
Tools & checklists
Minimal kit, maximal reliability—what earns a place in the pouch.
A professional library of pre-hospital decision making and tactical medicine fundamentals—built for clinicians who work near the sharp end.
- Trauma priorities and scene discipline
- Bleeding, airway, breathing, circulation, hypothermia
- Casualty movement, handover, and documentation
- Stress inoculation: clarity under sustained strain
Tone: calm, technical, and fieldable. The goal is competence you can carry, not content you can merely watch.
- Short modules with one objective
- Scenario prompts and after-action questions
- Downloadable checklists (as they release)
- References where appropriate
If you want to shape the curriculum, send a brief note with your role (paramedic / medic / nurse / doctor / student), your operating context, and the topics you want handled without fluff.
