I figured I would like to join a forum with more of a medicine backing rather than the forums I am currently on with the primary functions being military/field medicine etc.
I am former Army SOF (2006-2011)
In the civilian world I have been working as a medic since 2012. I have worked 911 for a year and critical care/flight from 2015-present. I have worked as a contract PSS/PSD Para as well.
This seems to be a resume rather than an intro. Anyways, I hope to see some informative post but more than likely ridiculous posts and internet arguing!haha..
Discussion: top 5 medications
in Tactical & Military Medicine
Posted
in no specific order
1-Tylenol/APAP This medication has many uses and specifically if we are talking austere I think of war time or where soft tissue injuries may be more common and infections, fever etc..
2-broad-spectrum antibiotic- I think this is self explanatory.
3-Ketamine-analgesic, sedation etc.. It's my version of a benzon had a baby with a narcotic! lol..
4-Benadryl-great all around medication. many uses, nausea, allergies etc.
5- Fentanyl- I view austere as well the end of the world situations and maybe you need to allow someone to go peacefully into the night. Sedate with Ketamine and push a large bolus of Fentanyl and let them go.

6- NS- again self explanatory. I'm leaving this off my top 5 because
