first aid

[Roseiah]

I spent about 6 months learning first aid, so I am pretty good with it, If I came across an accident, I would know what to do, because unlike the rest of my class, I didn't fall asleep during all the talks, I found it quite interesting, and then I spent a further few months writing about it constantly in my health and social care class. Oh and I saved my friend once when she got stabbed in the leg. So yeah I know it, and I am confident in it, and it will come in handy sooner or later.

MY dad was a combat medic in Vietnam, so he basically taught me everything I know. I'm even thinking of going into the army for combat medicine as well. :)

I am the proud recipient of a Boy Scout first aid merit badge. :P

 

 

 

*High-five*

 

I proudly dropped out of that merit badge class, due to the fact that the councilor had no idea what he was doing. And to think he got paid to teach it.

 

 

 

Proud recipient of the lifesaving merit badge though, and I've treated a few nasty gashes and sprains. I think I took a class in 3rd grade too. BAT class or something. :-k

I went on a course to prepare us for a series of hikes our group were going on.

 

At first they covered the basics, broken arms, putting on bandages etc then by the end of the course they were teaching us how to deal with firearm wounds and different kinds of cuts/lacerations when someone has been slashed/stabbed.

 

 

 

I know it may come in handy one day, but it still puzzles me why they taught us how to deal with gunshots/stabbings when we were just going on hikes and, unless a member of the group went on the rampage with a swiss pen knife, we wouldn't really need the training to deal with those kinds of things. Still, all first aid is a useful thing to know.

A new decision by the Red Cross that they should teach out techniqes(sp?) like that nowadays?

 

The stabbing is good, you could fall on a knife some [developmentally delayed] put in a bad place(happened before)
