@FacundoXXII, "Is it even healthy to consume charcoal?" I know that there's all kinds of fad cleanses and this and that.
I would not recommend any of them. You don't need that toothpaste, trust me.
I am Annie Onishi and I'm a trauma surgeon, and this is "Surgery Support." Our first Tweet comes from Wes Molebash.
Wes asks, "I'm a novice camper and I'm putting together my first aid kit. What do I need for a makeshift tourniquet?"
Well Wes, why get a makeshift one when you can have a real one? This is a combat application tourniquet.
It is readily available on the internet. It runs about 30 bucks and it is much better than anything you could fashion from a rope, or a belt, or a shirt.
So basically what you would do is say you had a wound here on the arm that was bleeding uncontrollably and you couldn't control that bleeding by simple pressure. You would pull out your trusty tourniquet, slide it on above the arm, tighten it just above where the injury is, tighten the belt and Velcro it just in place like so.
Next you're going to turn this windless. This really hurts in real life so I'm not going to do it.
But this windless basically tightens this tourniquet to a pressure that is above arterial pressure. Once you tighten it, it locks into place underneath this little clip.
You have this Velcro strap to keep your windless in place and you would leave that on until you could seek definitive care. Why use a fake one when you can use the real thing.
