GRP 33-On this episode we have Jay Paisley back on the show. Jay served for 20 years in the US Army with 15 of those years in Special Forces. He was an 18 Delta Special Forces Medic with the 5th Special Forces Group, and went on to serve as a medic in a Special Missions Unit. We discuss the responses to mass shootings on the first responders side of the house.\n\nIn some detail that most people aren\u2019t discussing, and bring to light some ideas that are certainly worth exploring as a nation when it comes to trauma medicine. Wouldn\u2019t it make sense for High Schools to teach students over the course of 4 years how to deal with basic trauma using tourniquets, and other devices? Below is an excerpt from our conversation:\n\n\nJohn Hendricks: The military in the last 15 years of constant deployments either to Iraq, Afghanistan, or elsewhere have dealt with mass casualty events. Guys are wounded from gunfights, stepping on mines and IED\u2019s, and things like that. From what I understand, and I\u2019m not 100 percent sure on the exact numbers, but the number of Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and Sailors who survive wounds from the battlefield have increased. There\u2019s obviously a reason for that. Can you explain why that is? \n\nJay Paisley: The biggest breakthrough to come out of these battlefields in terms of medicine, and the military trauma model isn\u2019t necessarily a scientific breakthrough but rather an academic breakthrough where we have pushed down and de-centralized to the lowest common dominator possible data driven, proven life saving techniques. What your seeing coming out of the Global War on Terror in success is: it\u2019s the infantrymen, it\u2019s the clerk, it\u2019s the truck driver. They\u2019re the ones who are intervening early on, and putting into place these medical treatments that are saving lives. It\u2019s the medic that are within close proximity that are coming in to finish that initial treatment that was put on place. It\u2019s the de-centralization that\u2019s saving lives. We\u2019re putting tourniquets in the hands of everybody. Not just the hands of the select few.
