What can you do...

in an emergency?

Having grown up around watching people do this stuff closely I think I can:

a) Do a splint
b) Do a proper bandage
c) Have a decent knowledge of some issues to do with the body incase of some sicknesses or other bodily problems

This may be nothing and may be very basic to some but its a start. How about you guys? Med students will obviously know this all :vivo:

Re: What can you do...

I dont know CPR but should.

I think I can bandage well but no one in my sisters has ever really broken a bone. I had a hairline fracture once in my childhood on one of my toes and thats it.

Having my grandmother around when I was a child has given me some basic knowledge about how to remedy things at home using natural things.

Where are the med students? :ASA:

Re: What can you do...

i know to put a person on their side if they are having trouble with breathing or maybe choking on vomit, i know to keep an injury like a damaged leg elevated, i know not to move anyone seriously injured, i think i could maybe attempt the heimlich manouvre if someone was choking lol. i need to learn first aid!
