severe bleeding becomes fatal
average EMS arrival time
Do the math.
I learned it three months after I almost watched my husband die in our driveway.
It was a Saturday morning.
He was cleaning the gutters.
I heard the ladder shift.
Then the sound I’ll never forget —
his body hitting concrete.
I grabbed dish towels from the kitchen.
They turned red in seconds.
I went through four towels.
His face was gray. His eyes were closing.
I kept screaming at him to stay awake.
The ambulance arrived at 10:04 AM.
The paramedic pulled out a bright orange strap I’d never seen before.
He twisted it tight with a plastic windlass.
The bleeding stopped in seconds.
“Tourniquet,” he said.
“Good thing we got here when we did.”
Thirty seconds. Three pieces of equipment I didn’t even know existed.
For three weeks after he came home, I kept waking up at 2 AM.
Sitting at my daughter’s kitchen table.
The conversation I couldn’t answer.
Mom. Was there anything you could have done?
Three weeks after he came home, I got up at 2 AM and started searching.
$30 tourniquet.
I’d never heard of it.
Israeli pressure bandage.
I’d never heard of it.

The time to make sure you have an answer isn’t after the question gets asked.
It’s now. While the worst version of that morning is still just something you imagined. While there’s still time to make sure that’s all it ever is.
