The following post comes from Phillip W. He has put together a great opportunity for all shooters in the area. Come shoot CCIDPA's match at APG then we'll head to the classroom for trauma instruction. There are a limited number of spots.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have arranged for a local trauma specialist, Dr. Hemant Vankawala, to provide us with basic training for treatment of gunshot wounds. If you are an active shooter, hunter, competitor, CCWer, etc., I feel this is essential training. The life of a friend or a loved one could depend upon it. I need to gauge interest in participation. If you would be interested in attending a class such as this, please post here so I might keep a running list, email me directly at pappawhiskey1@yahoo.com or leave a message on my voicemail at 940-368-6425.
Details: January 12th, 2008
Adrenaline Proving Grounds classroom following the CCIDPA 2nd Saturday match. (approximately 2-6 pm)
Course Director: Hemant Vankawala, MD PA Dr. Vankawala is an emergency medicine attending at Baylor University Medical Center in downtown Dallas, a level 1 trauma center. He is residency trained in emergency medicine. He is the medical director of the local EMS service "MedCare Ambulance", the Medical Director for Big Bend National Park as well as for the Terlingua Fire EMS Department in Terlingua, Texas. He is also a partner in a chain of free standing emergency rooms - "24 Hour Emergency Room" - with two locations in the Houston area with a location scheduled to open in Little Elm, fall 2008.
