That shard of glass would travel through your oesophagus, stomach, approx. 8.5 metres of small & large intestine, through the colon and out the rectum. A pretty painful process. Depending on the size/shape/luck of the glass, you could also cause an internal tear and internal bleeding. The tear could be hard to diagnose. You'd probably also have to have exploratory surgery to locate the perforation (I hope for your sake it's not near the colon!), then have it fixed up (assuming they could find it), then spend a while in hospital and pay a mega-load of hospital bills.

So, I'd recommend not swallowing glass.. For your own safety.

That being said, if you already have swallowed glass, get yourself to the hospital, tell the ER doc what you've done and how long ago you did it. The faster they find it, the more likely it is that you'll get away with not too much damage.

That is a sign of a few things. Most commonly, a urinary tract infection or kidney stones. They say they are both painful but that isn't always true. It depends on your other symptoms, age, etc. You definitely need to get checked.

If it's coming out the other end, you REALLY need to get checked because that is either very minor or serious. Blood should never come out with waste.

-- They are correct. The only way to tell definitively that your foot is broken is to have x-rays taken. Common signs would be pain, especially when weight is applied, discoloration, swelling, immobility, and possibly reduced perfusion in the affected limb.

A pregnant woman should be placed flat on her back for resuscitation, just like everyone else.

These adhesives can be softened an removed with the help acetone, though it may require some work. Acetone is available at paint and hardware stores a a stand-alone product. You may also use an acetone-based fingernail polish remover.

If left alone, the glue will lose adhesion and flake off fairly quickly.

* normal thirst or may refuse some liquids * a moist mouth and tongue * normal to slightly decreased urine output * less than 3 percent weight loss * normal heart rate, pulses, breathing, and warm extremities * capillary refill less than 2 seconds * instant recoil on skin turgor test * eyes not sunken (and/or fontanel in a baby) * increased thirst * a dry mouth and tongue * decreased urine output * 3 to 9 percent weight loss * normal to increased heart rate and pulses, normal to fast breathing, and cool extremities * capillary refill greater than 2 seconds * recoil on skin turgor test in less than 2 seconds * slightly sunken eyes (and/or fontanel in a baby) * poor drinking or may be unable to drink * a parched mouth and tongue * minimal or no urine output * greater than 9 percent weight loss * increased heart rate, weak pulses, deep breathing, and cool, mottled extremities * capillary refill that is very prolonged or minimal * recoil on skin turgor test in more than 2 seconds * deeply sunken eyes (and/or fontanel in a baby)

The benefits of first aid service to the community is immense. Suppose, a person of the community falls ill or meets an accident in the road, in that case first aid service is the only instant treatment available. Even a family member has cardiac arrest at mid night,if you have basic massage training, the patient can be provided life support before despatching to hospital or nursing home.

First you spray it with the stuff that every one of them boxes have, then you put some of that gekl that starts with a n, then you put a bandaid, or wrap it up, whatever the heck you'vce done to yourself

Most importantly a dressing protects the injury from infection. A dressing also assists with the blood loss control by providing a grid for the blood to coagulate in.

The three main aims are to maintain airway, breathing and circulation, in that order.

In an unconscious patient:

Airway - to clear the airway, first have a look to see if there is anything in the mouth blocking the airway. If not then lift the head up slightly so that the head is in a 'sniffing' position (this is known as the head tilt, chin lift manouvre) However, if there is a possibility of a head, neck or back injury, be very cautious of moving the person at all.

Breathing - To assess the breathing place your ear next to the patients mouth, while at the same time looking at the chest. This way you can listen and feel for any breathing with your ear, and look for any rise and fall of the chest at the same time.

Circulation - To check for a heart rate, the best place in an unconscious patient is the carotid pulse, which is on the side of the neck.

If the patient is not breathing or has no pulse - commence CPR.

NOTE: These are rough guidelines and a first aid course is recommended to learn proper techniques for CPR.

As soon as you determine that an infant is non-responsive. Call EMS (usually 911) IMMEDIATELY! Don't waste any time wondering whether or not to call. Carry the child with you to the phone if possible. The EMS dispatcher will give you instructions on what to do.

1st degree burns are basically sunburns. Only the outer layer has been damaged and it's very easy to treat and recovers very well. The only thing about 1st degree burns, is that they can hurt much much worse than 2nd or even 3rd. You can treat it by putting medicated cream, aloe vera, and cool clothes.

Lethal doses for humans range between 150-300ml depending on body composition.

The chances are quite high as the burn may cause bleeding (internal or external) and this loss of blood will deprive the vital organs of oxygen and cause shock. The best treatment would be to treat the burn and then lie the casualty down and raise the legs if the injury allows it. The idea is to get the blood to circulate around the vital organs rather than the legs.

Call for an ambulance is the first thing to do. Make the patient as comfortable as possible. Treat any bleeding that may be present. Don't move the patient unless you absolutely have to. they may have more damage that a broken leg. Don't try to set it. If you suspect the femur is broken, don't move them at all unless their life is in danger where they are. A broken femur can cut the artery in their thigh and they will bleed to death in a very short time.

Technically it was the Johnson and Johnson company in 1890. They called it the Johnson and Johnson's First Aid Cabinet. Back then, it only contained the bare essentials of a first aid kit. FIrst aid kits rock!

A normal temperature for an infant is from 97.4-99.4. If an infant's temperature is above 100.4, and the infant is under 6 weeks old; they need to be seen by a health care providor. If a doctor has already told you that you can give Tylenol or Motrin, give that first to see if it brings the temperature down. If it remains above 100.4, you need to bring them in to be seen.

the area will develop a thin scab and fall off eventually. though, you have to be careful not to irritate the scab or it will leave redness. sometimes the pigment gets scratched off too, but it returns as it heals.

The word 'sprain' means a joint injury in which some of the fibres of a supporting ligament are ruptured but the continuity of the ligament remains intact which is not the case in a torn ligament in which the ligament as a whole is torn due to injury. So, in a torn ligament case, the functions of structures that are held in position by that ligament are affected. But in sprained ankle there is no such damage done.

A cold-sore is apparently caused by the 'Herpes Simplex' virus(HSV1) and usually contracted via saliva or actually making contact with the erupted sore and transferring to the mouth, especially during kissing!

It can be sparked through stress, hormones or a sudden change in body temperature.

As viruses thrive in heat, the best treatment I have found is the application of ice to the affected area, as soon a tingle is felt.

If the sore has erupted, dose orally with Lysine Powder and apply Manuka Honey to the sore( both available from local health-shops ).

Cold sores are caused by a virus. This virus remains in your system and can be reactivated from time to time. It can be transmitted to another person by kissing or by oral sex when it is active.
