    So for all the other Medics/ER Docs out there, I’ve seen all kinds of posts on here about GSW, massive hemorrhage, and penetrating chest trauma. I don’t think I’ve seen anything however about treating flail chest in the field and I’m curious about your thoughts on the subject.

    Some background: I’ve been a first responder and then an EMT-1 for about 3 years for a rural EMS service. I’ve seen some of everything but for some reason never run across a flail chest.
