Govt wants to teach students how to treat Gunshot Wounds

-Time- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is offering a new $1.8 million grant for a program teaching high school students mass casualty survival techniques" in the event of school shootings expanding a training that some medical experts say should be as common as CPR." The School-Age Trauma Training program will aim to teach high school students medical triage and bleeding control techniques to help victims who have sustained traumatic injuries until first responders arrive. Similar to how students learn health education and drivers education they must learn proper bleeding control techniques using commonly available materials; including how to use their hands dressings and tourniquets" the Department of Homeland Security said in an appendix to the grant announcement specifically citing the frequency of school shootings. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding within five to 10 minutes; however anyone at the scene can act as immediate responder and save lives if they know what to do."
