In Paul's own wods:
My Story”
I have been a practicing anesthesiologist, originally from New York since 1987 at major trauma centers on both coasts. I developed an interest in personal protection, martial arts and firearms for most of my life. While in Los Angeles. I started to take firearm courses. The company that made the most impact on me was International Tactical Training Seminars. The advanced courses with the company's main instructor "Uncle Scotty", a legend in LAPD SWAT.
One course was TECC (Trauma Emergency Casualty Care), the medical skills law enforcement officers need on the street. I realized my medical skills, the skills I use on a daily basis, are exactly the skills that are needed on the street. Therefore, I became a LAPD Reserve officer, with the purpose to bring my skills to the streets of Los Angeles as well as teach officers. My passion is to teach the tactical medical skills to first responders necessary for the survival of victims in a mass casualty incident.
“The Mission of TacmedUSA”
Most tactical medical for law enforcement stop the threat, render immediate aid with tourniquets, and maybe have the officers, using drags and carries, evacuate victims to some other location in the training environment.
This is not a realistic representation of what happens in an actual mass casualty incident. Law enforcement excels at stopping the threat and rendering immediate aid to victims. To really maximize survival of victims in a mass casualty incident, training must include fire/ems bringing a higher level of care, including multiple trauma kits for treatment and stretchers for evacuation. Incident command coordinates ambulance transportation and hospital resources to provide the necessary higher level of definitive care.
TacMedUSA tries to prepare law enforcement, fire/ems, and incident command to integrate their individual responsibilities into one coordinated response to a mass casualty event.“My Story” I have been a practicing anesthesiologist, originally from New York since 1987 at major trauma centers on both coasts.

Passionate about contingency system process improvement. The time to realize contingency plans are ineffective is not during a contingency. Seconds saved = minutes saved = hours saved = days saved = more effective response, more lives saved, and more time to prepare for what’s next.
