First Aid

Hi there! this is Rhett Milton here... thought i might start putting a little of my knowledge to good use!?

Sorry about the long story!!!...

I'm no expert on sports injuries but i have studied what should be done and also have first hand experience of doing the wrong thing!... obviously before i knew what to do which severely increased the time for healing process to take place!...

So this is what happened followed by what i should have done!...

...Commonly as sports people do!... i was overtraining in a bid to achieve a high level of fitness boosting my sports performance and getting the respect of my peers which i now know is ridiculous when the maintenance of Homeostasis (good health) is concerned. i was playing football and was not even interested in activity becaus i was so tired from training... and me being in goal... a fellow class mate shoots for a goal only to be denied by my left foot!... unknowingly, the impact of the ball to my left foot was too strong taking into account how weak i have left my body through over-training! causing a sprain to the inside of my left ankle!...being warmed up and ready for activity at the time i did not really registar the pain... however when finshed it felt stiff and sore!... what "I" did at the time was just carry on with my training and daily routine where i should have put into practice first aid method known as P.R.I.C.E... which was formily known as rice before!...

the letter (P) stands for Protect which means i should have protected my ankle from any further damge by stopping the activity... next there is

(R) which stands for Rest... which means i should have stayed of my ankle for at least a week depending on the strength of it and slowly returned to activity with very slow progressions by that i mean being very specific with daily activity e.g. counting how many steps you do in a day until a return to normal ankle strength...

next is (I) which stands for Ice which should be applyed to the damaged area of the body as this closes the blood vessels in the area and minimises bleeding which in turn could speed up recovery time!.. icing should be done for no less than 5 mins and no more than 10... repeated 3 times a day and for 3 days after suffering the injury...

then you have (C) which stands for Compression which also is another method of reducing the bleeding in the damaged area which should be done straight after the injury has occured...

lastly there is (E) which stands for Elevation as this reduces the blood pressure in the damaged area thus reducing the amount of bleeding that will go on. to create the most effective elevation of an injury you should if you can keep the damaged part above heart level!

theew!!... sorry about the long story but hopefully this information can help someone that has injured themselves and prevent from making the same mistake i did...

p.s.... because i didn't follow these steps with my ankle injury i was out of action for a whole 11 months where i should have been back in 6!

lol im joking because you have to get better by the time your in skool unless its summer vacation if it is everybody wins

Naturally? Application of ice packs. I've heard aloe can help too. and if it stings, mix a tiny bit of baking soda and water 2gether. then get a spoon and and dab it in the paste, then dab on festered area. this take away the sting.

Colonial doctors used all wildlife for medicine. This includes walnuts for headaches and cold water for bleeding wounds.

They usually contain basic bandages such as band aids. They also usually have some protection like rubber gloves. Mostly all of them have some kind of disinfectant for cuts. More advanced kits contain tweezers and scissors. There are a huge variety of materials that can be put in a first aid kit.

The primary goal of first aid is to prevent death or serious injury from worsening. The key aims of first aid can be summarized with the acronym of 'the three Ps':[15]

Preserve life: The overriding aim of all medical care which includes first aid, is to save lives and minimize the threat of death. First aid done correctly should help reduce the patient's level of pain and calm them down during the evaluation and treatment process.

Prevent further harm: Prevention of further harm includes addressing both external factors, such as moving a patient away from any cause of harm, and applying first aid techniques to prevent worsening of the condition, such as applying pressure to stop a bleed from becoming dangerous.

Promote recovery: First aid also involves trying to start the recovery process from the illness or injury, and in some cases might involve completing a treatment, such as in the case of applying a plaster to a small wound.

You should always check the scene for hazards that may be threatening to your safety, obtain consent from the victim (or victim's guardian if a child) if able, and put the appropriate barriers (gloves, breathing masks, etc.) in place before administering any type of first aid. If you are a lay person (rather than a 'professional' rescuer) you should also consider whether you are ready and willing to get involved. You are not obligated to become involved, but you are obligated to remain involved once you start administering first aid until you become exhausted or endangered, or transfer care to someone with equal or superior skill.

Perform a scene size-up upon entering the scene. Try to determine why the person is unconscious. Do you smell anything? Do you see any open canisters or containers that could alert you to a problem? Is there a ladder, stool, chair tipped over by the person? Are there electrical wires or other clues at a work scene? The first responder at the scene will need to look for all the clues that can help to determine what caused the emergency.

First you are going to want to have someone push one a pressure point. They are under your armpits and under your legs. Then you want to get someone to call 911. After that get gaus on it. You are going to want to reapply it when there is to much blood on it.

The debate on national health care is a debate about whether or not the government should offer free health services to it's citizens.

You first call 911. They you lie them down. Loosen any restrictive clothing, monitor their breathing and pulse. keep them warm with a blanket. Raise their feet 10 inches off the ground, above their head. Keep giving them reassuring thoughts such as 'It's okay' even if they are unconscious.

You'll need some plastic surgery --- nothing too extensive. Recently, in urban areas (LA for certain, but others exist) there are doctor's outreach groups that specialize in the removal of gang signs (tatoos, brands, etc.). As they're using the plastic-surgical techniques you'll need to remove that scar tissue, and as they list in their mission statement the desire to help people improving their lives to leave stigma behind, these might be a perfect solution for you.

Side effects of consuming gasoline include irritation of the mouth, throat and stomach, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and headaches. Consuming large amounts of gasoline could lead to death. See the related links for more information.

rest your elbows on the same surface on which the patient is lying

That depends on what's wrong. You should not administer first aid if you don't know what you're doing. If you would like to learn, the American Red Cross gives first aid instruction at a reasonable cost.

Clean it gently with soap and water. Trim away dead skin. If it's less than the size of a quarter (2cm or 2/3in), you can rinse it with hydrogen peroxide or betadine, bandage, and do a wound check every day or two until it heals. If it's over 1" (3cm) in diameter, you may want to see a doc and see if you can get something like Silvadene (Silver Sulfadiazine topical) ointment prescribed for it, which you'd apply either daily or twice a day usually. Larger than 2" diameter or so needs to be seen by a professional.

1.wash the area with plenty of soap and water for 10-15 minutes.

2.take antirabies vaccination for 1 month.(5-6 injections)

3.take antibiotics and pain killers for 7 days.

4.tetanus toxoid injection.

Triple antibiotic ointment usually contains bacitracin, polymixin and neomycin in a petrolatum base. There may be some other minor ingredients, but those are the "triple antibiotic" part of the ointment.

Those 3 antibiotics help to stop bacterial infections by both compromising the bacterial cell walls and also inhibiting the protein synthesis of the bacteria. The bacteria needs the its cell with to live and protein synthesis to grow and thrive.
