Course: Wilderness First Aid - Traumatic Emergencies

I liked most of this course, but the part on Tourniquets was a bit old school. The USArmy has determined that a Tourniquet can be left on for up to 12 hours without doing any soft tissue damage.

Overall a very useful course. However, the scripts would benefit from thorough proofreading, and a few quizz questions had no correct answer (1.1 and 3.4 and the pregnancy one in quizz 4).
