So if I was a "lazy medic" and took lung sounds and evaluated your patient before he presents with sever signs of distress, you might catch it early and decompress your patient and keep them comfortable and out of shock.
Turniquets are the same way.... Practice putting them on one and two handed. I've haven't searched YouTube for good instructional videos but I bet they are out there. PSA: no need to cut off your circulation or practice while you are drunk or sleepy.
