Victims of injury are often victims of crimes, and we must try to preserve evidence whenever possible. It should be easy for the medic to cut the clothing in areas away from bullet holes or knife wounds so that the injury to the clothing can be preserved. - Bill Hauda Fri, 17 Oct 2008 09:10:44 +0100 http://omaonline.org/tactical-medicine-videos.html#comment-2 In watching the video on chest wounds, I had concern about one item that appeared. I am working on the assumption that this care is in the civilian law enforecement environment. The video shows the "medic" tearing the T-shirt to render care. It appears that the "medic" tore the shirt at the hole made by the projectile. I would remind medics that preservation of evidence is vital and you should cut around any holes that may be caused by bullets or knives etc. - Douglas Kimbell Wed, 15 Oct 2008 03:31:20 +0100
