Amputations and arterial bleeding: “white angels” improve tactical medicine skills with US instructors (VIDEO)
The 10 police officers who recently joined the White Angel unit received training in tactical medicine from US instructors.
All have improved their skills in rescuing the seriously injured. The law enforcement officers were trained by paramedics from the Global Outreach Doctors organization working at stations near the front line. The training was conducted by tactical medicine instructor Aaron Barker, who had previously rescued people near Bakhmut. Paramedic shared his experience on how to save the lives of people who received several serious injuries at once.
