Ohio State University Stabbing and Vehicle Attack

[Mortblanc]

There is first aid and then there is trauma response. The public is not trained to respond to this level of trauma, even if they have had normal first aid training.

How many people between 17 and 22 (this was on a college campus) could you pull off the street who would know proper procedures for severe stab wounds?

Even fewer have ever seen anyone's guts hanging out of their stomach cavity or a throat cut ear to ear, or the results of arterial bleed out.

Perhaps the public needs a new level of training to respond to the modern attackers. And perhaps it should be part of the regular school curriculum so everyone would have it.
