First Aid

Death from a Brown Recluse Spider is rare and has not been professionally estimated by year round averages.

If you have something stuck in your throat then you need to go to the ER.

Either you can cut that small part of the skin off with nail clippers - it doesn't hurt as much as you'd think - or you can go digging into the skin with tweezers.

Yes; it probably will. I am sorry.

One of your cross-country runners has sprained an ankle, and you apply an ice bag to the ankle. After 10 minutes, you find that a rash is starting to form on the ankle. You should assume that?

No. It contained mercury and the FDA pulled.

With almost no exceptions (grazing flesh wound, perhaps) gunshot wound is a medical emergency, and should be treated at a hospital. That does not just apply to gut, thorax or head wounds - even a .22 bullet lodged in the arm greatly increases the potential for blood poisoning or permanent nerve damage, let alone extraction of the slug. People who think gunshot wound can be adequately treated at home have seen too many cowboy movies.

No, if you can breathe ok and swallow. It is swelled and will help if you put ice on it. See a doctor as soon as possible. You could have damage to your trachea (windpipe). If this is not treated correctly, you could quickly lose the ability to breathe. This can be fatal in a matter of minutes.

Basically, it's carrying the victim piggy-back, with them on your back, your arms under and supporting their legs, and their arms around your neck. This carry is best used in crisis situations like combat, as it's a dangerous carry (to be honest, two-man carries are almost always a lot safer). It should only be tried if you absolutely need to evac the patient now (or you're playing horsey with your nephews and neices). This carry has as problems: * It requires the victim to be conscious and alert, because they not only have to hold on but also have to balance a little. * It's potentially a disaster to any victim with head, neck or spine injuries. * It makes the rescuer very top-heavy and off-balance, so it's not uncommon to drop the patient and even injure the rescuer using this carry. On the good side, it's an instinctive carry nearly anyone with sufficient strength can make work without training. It also doesn't burn a lot of the rescuer's endurance. If you opt to use this carry, check for spinal/head/neck trauma as well as consciousness and alertness. Remove the victim's field pack (if any), or anything they're wearing on their back, as well as anything the rescuer is wearing on the rescuer's back. No need to make this top-heavy carry even less balanced.

having a tampon stuck in you is your first problem.

you are at risk of getting a disese and you better get 2 the doctor quik

Wound approximation is when you bring the edges of a laceration together.

Did u ever find out what it was? My dad has an circular area on the sole of his foot that looks fluid filled and is giving him a ton of pain. He doesn't have insurance so I am trying to figure out what it is. Any info u have I would appreciate. Thanks

I had a heel bruise(policemans heel) caused by a slip on the ice in December 2008, I had it xrayed the following day. I was told it was not fractured and given Ultram. I still have the Ultram, being that it did not improve the condition. It was a difficult period for 2 months, it was about a week ago the pain stopped, this being the date of 3-29-09. The suggestion I have if not fractured is an aircast or thick cushioned shoes. A cane will help also, you can buy one for under 20 at most stores. I did not stay off of the foot until it was at the point I could not walk, which was about every 3 minutes at the start. Then 5, 6, 7, 20, until it healed. Do have anything in pain xrayed too rule out the possibility of a fracture.

it is a salt and salt draws moisture. I have personally used epsom salt to draw infection out of things like splinters and small puncture wounds.

Very bad. You'll put chemicals into the wound that aren't supposed to be there, like uric acid. You'll possibly infect the wound--they say urine's sterile, but if the person it came from has a urinary tract infection it isn't. And it's really, really nasty.

Don't let me catch you pissing in an open wound!
