A little medicine... - everyone needs to know this fairly simple science.

Acid Paper #03
military medicine. In my opinion, this one is quite simple 
Everyone needs to know science. What about a state secret?
    These recommendations are not inventions of the military, but belong to
everyone has an age-old experience of survival. What difference does it make if it broke through? 
Is a person's artery a bullet or an arrow? But someone needed
collect this experience, call it a special section and keep it classified. Logic 
incomprehensible to me. Are only special agents supposed to survive?
and what do the others not need? Or the more and faster they die
people, the more profitable it is for the state?
    Special medicine classes were taught by smart doctors and taught us
the science of survival. And many of our losses occurred due to 
general medical illiteracy. We even have soldiers
don’t really know how to use the individual package and where
wear it. But in a machine gun with a folding butt,
in a frame that imitates it, five
individual packages. Which, like weapons, are always with you.
    Very often they don’t know what, for example, they need
in an individual package there is a safety pin. And for what,
when you have to transport a person in painful shock,
his head throws back, his tongue sinks in and the wounded man can
suffocate. And therefore, at first glance, barbaric, but in fact
In fact, for humanitarian reasons the tongue is pierced
and is fastened to the collar of the tunic. A person can
to breathe, which means to live.
    In general, a Kalashnikov assault rifleuniversal. With a broken arm
it needs to be fixed and a splint made. And there is desert all around. Neither
bush, nothing at all, to build a tire. But the machine is always
with you. Its length coincides with the length of the arm. And everything you need
to do - strap a Kalashnikov assault rifle to your hand.
And in the medical battalion the doctors will do the rest.
    Seems brutal, but all it takes is a real bite
by the little finger to bring a person out of shock. We also learned that
which few people know about just because; it seems like
contradicts the principles of morality. 
    We also giggled at this recipe at first, but knowing it
saved more than one life.
    The human body already contains
up to 70 milligrams of pure alcohol. Blasphemous for moralists,
but this is the most familiar product for the human body,
and he is contained in it all his life. And when a person gets sick 
diabetes, it is simply processed not into alcohol, but into sugar.
And the practical significance of this fact in war is this.
Alcohol is a product that is absorbed by the body first 
queue. You never know what hit you in the leg - whether it was a snake,
either a tarantula, or some other nasty thing that is in Afghanistan
crawls enough. You can't see in the dark, even if you turn it on
flashlight, and often this is simply, well, impossible to do. 
    The main suggested recipe for action after a snake bite is:
immediately rip the bite site with a knife, suck out the blood,
sprinklegunpowder and quickly evacuate the bitten person
to the place where he can be injected with antigyurzine or something
similar. 
    When bitten by a viper, the average resistance of a person is two hours.
During this time, as life has shown, no helicopter
you can’t wait, especially if sometimes you don’t even have the right
Call a helicopter under no circumstances. And in the mountains such
It was so steep that not a single helicopter could land. In short,
you can die in peace.
    So, in order not to die calmly and resignedly, the first thing
the case of a person who has been bitten by a snake or some unknown
it’s disgusting, even if it’s curare poison, immediately open your mouth or unclench it
teeth, if he is already in convulsions, and pour any alcohol into him,
which is. A normal dose is considered to be a bottle of vodka or
appropriate amount of diluted alcohol. 
    The fact is that most poisons are transmitted through blood,
and the body begins to metabolize alcohol first,
pushing the poison into the background. There is a lot of alcohol, and its absorption
occurs in the body for quite a long time.
    In addition, alcohol, entering the blood, neutralizes
most poisons. But in any case, this gives a head start of several
hours. In short, it is better to poison yourself with alcohol and deeply
drunk, get to the doctors, where they will inject you with the necessary vaccine,
than to die in convulsions from poison. Maybe a consequence
Such treatment will even lead to cirrhosis of the liver, but the person will live.
    Everyone knowsthat if a person is on fire, you need to knock him off
flame, and, if there is one, inject promidol. According to theory, if
If a person has 70 percent of their skin burned, then there is hope
there is very little chance that he will see the white light again. As a rule,
a person dies from intoxication, but it’s still our grandmothers
and grandfathers taught: if you get burned, urinate on the burn site. But if
there is a platoon or company around, there is a burnt person, but they managed to put out the flames
and the skin is not yet charred, all red and blistered?
Well, let the whole company urinate on the victim. 
    It seems very rude, but this action will save the burnt person,
whose skin needs salts, the presence of which relieves intoxication.
The chances of survival for someone who has undergone such an unaesthetic procedure
much more. Or, for example, quite widely
a common tangential wound of the abdomen, in which the intestines
literally fall out. And this kind of thing happens
not only in war, but also, for example, during road transport
incidents. Watching brutal scenes huddled together
passers-by I had to see how a wounded man, in shock,
shooting from a machine gun, he ran through his own guts
fifteen meters.
    What to do? There is a statistic that 90 percent
the wounded die without suffering the painful shock. Therefore, first
In turn, you need to administer an anti-shock drug. And then - me
I watched as the orderlies, who also knew almost nothing,
collect the fallen onesentrails and begin to stuff
inward, “in place.” This should not be done under any circumstances
In this case, it is tantamount to murder. Will definitely start
infection of the body. The entrails must be carefully collected,
but under no circumstances should you rinse it, much less stuff it
inside. 
    The guts themselves are very strong, and while they are not
ruptured, infection will not get into them. All gathered in a heap
the insides are wrapped with bandages from bags or any
matter, and this bloody lump is tied to the victim on
chest. Then in the hospital they will do everything right for him, clean him up,
they will put it in place, and the person will live. And two weeks later
The threads are taken out from the seam. It will leave a yellow scar for life.
But everything will function. This is not a wound.
    Or if an artery was broken by a bullet or shrapnel. On the neck there is
points, pressing on one of them with a finger blocks the artery
and stops heavy bleeding. I witnessed when
in this way the bleeding was stopped for more than five hours,
changing only the numb hand. How many ordinary people are there?
who knows these points? And how many people die just because
the fact that neither they nor those around them were taught this. Even the soldiers
ours did not know this and do not know.
