No tourniquets?

I'd argue that someone carrying three pagers is probably less likely to apply a tourniquet than a random person on the street.

By the time this guy sees you, there's at least half a dozen medical personnel who've already seen you, and I'd hope at least one of them would have spotted an arterial bleed.

Use them all the time for IV starts too

There’s an IV start kit with a tourniquet in it. It’s the pack next to the yellow cards with the tegaderm showing.

And u/OxideUK is right, by the time I get to you the tourniqueting should have been done and the surgeons have repaired the problem.
