There is a very positive first aid initiative in this country called "Stop the Bleed". Bleeding from trauma is the 2nd major cause of death in this country. Anyone can take these courses as it's pretty straight forward. As a longtime EMT who was on our rural first aid squad for a decade, I am so thrilled we are doing this in the US. Our local fire department gives the courses, free.

Happy New Year to my friends and followers on FOTMD. Let there be peace on earth - outer space isn't a good alternative yet.
If everyone played dulcimers, we could all live in harmony.
