Street Medic Hip Pocket Class

Introduction/Pre-class.

Hi everyone, my name is Rayne. I am a licensed EMT in the state of Ohio, a long time activist, anarchist, and a nonbinary transgender woman who uses they/she pronouns.

Because of a fun conversation I had with another person on the Fedi about this topic, I became interested in possibly doing like a regular "hip pocket class" (a slang term used in the military for informal classes done during downtime) on "street medic" stuff. I did a poll and people seem to want this so here I am!

Today I'm going to be covering some basics, and this more serves as a "pre class". I have a plan to do class #1 next week, which is going to cover considerations and procedures that focus on what happens before patient contact is made.

But today I just want to go over what a "street medic" is, what functions do they serve, and some considerations if you so choose to be one or be in auxillary to one. Even if you just want to help with emergencies that may occur while doing activism, I think this class will be useful.

Please feel free to reply to me with questions and feedback at anytime.

So let's dive in!
