"The scissors, for instance...Carry a Swiss Army Knife or Leatherman Micra (or copy) with scissors, instead."

Personally, I disagree. Paramedic shears are designed to cut open clothing to expose an injury without risking further damage to the patient. The "scissors" in a SAK are pointed and quite small; in an emergency where someone is losing blood rapidly, they would simply take too long (have you ever tried cutting up a pair of blue jeans with a SAK) and if you try to rush, you run the risk of sticking the patient with the point of the scissors.

Blunt tipped scissors would be far better; professional paramedic shears (or possibly a BenchMade Rescue Hook) would be even better.
