Zombie apocalypse protocols.

A medic student did these, presumably just for fun. Amusing:)

Could you either post a link, or transcribe in full? it just appears fuzzy in this posting.

Why would you raise the bitten area ABOVE the level of the heart? Shouldn't that have been below?

Also, if they're undead, that means they have no vascular circulation. Therefore administration of parenteral medications would be ineffective unless someone is doing CPR for you.

Should we contact medical control about this?

I think medical control should be in the form of a fully loaded shotgun.

if you put a zombie and a necrophiliac in the same room who chases who?

If I recall from at least one Zombie movie, a "double-tap" to the face.

Since there are one-way valves in our vasculature, and it is a closed system, if blood cannot get into the limb - blood cannot get out of the limb.

Love the double tap. Loved Zombieland. Funny thing about that movie is that his rules work in every major city today.

I dunno, I was just comparing it to snake bites. That seemed to be the direction this protocol was taking to attempt to slow the spread of the infection/poison. First Aid for snake bites is immobilization.
