My reservations about QC stem from experience in successfully controlling bleeding with DP, up to and including a limb amputation (victim walked into the rear rotor of a helicopter) and thus it seems to me that QC is a solution looking for a problem - for most of us, that is. Battlefield medicine is a different breed of cat,about which I know nothing, and there indeed, QC seems to be useful.
But I dubious about including QC in a general purpose FAK, when the money and space could be used for more generally useful items. You always run into this issue - what to leave in and what to leave out of the FAK. The answers should be conditioned by the level of training of the users and the injury profile typical of the situations they will be facing.
