Medical
Being a career medical professional with years of experience in pre-hospital and hospital
environments, I don't think a list of videos will be enough to prepare you. You simply can't
learn what you need from Youtube, when it comes to Medical skills. Do yourself a
favor and start with a Basic First Aid/CPR class. Since alot of the folks who teach them
don't have much real-world medical experience, reach out to your local EMS agency and ask if
they offer or could recommend someone who offers a solid First Aid class. Then work your way
up with a Wilderness First Aid or Wilderness First Responder course.
