I have fairly good medical training. What kind of car med kit are yu looking to have?
Ambulances have a fair amount of stuff, but it's pretty general and geared to keeping a victim alive until you can transport them to a hospital. They are not equipped to handle more than tw or three casualties. Attendants will have to call for backup to handle more than one or two.
Are you looking to handle a busload of crash victims? A grup of college kids that wrecked their Jeep? Your neighbor who bypassed the safety shutoff of his mower and got his foot cut off by the blade?
There are some things you should not attempt without training, such as victim extrication or moving someone with a neck injury.
I can deal with up to two serious casualties with my turnout bag. This can include amputations, GSWs, impalements and major trauma. But I cannot perform surgery or administer more than OTC meds. I do have a few things that are illegal to adminiister wihout a medical licence but in an emergency....
