You Know Your God is Too Small If....
All You See Are Thorns

First Aid Underkill

2/25/2022

 
1. Obvious bleeding, without a dressing of any kind. One of the basic rules of first aid is if it bleeds -- put pressure on it. This especially applies if you have amputated a body part. Not only do we not want you to bleed to death, but it makes other patients nervous to see dried pools of the blood on the floor.
2. Trying marijuana (or alcohol) prior to seeking medical attention for a traumatic injury. Then not only are you high or drunk while trying to describe what happened -- but if you delay too long, we can't repair that terrible leg laceration you got defending your cat from a werewolf.
3. Not even looking at the injury prior to arrival. We know, lots of people are squeamish -- and that's fine -- but find someone who isn't to look at your cut and at least see if it bled. We are more than happy to do this for you...but we charge a lot more.

Overkill in First Aid is Underrated...

2/18/2022

 
Medical professionals may find it humorous when they have to unwind a half-mild of gauze or remove a makeshift tourniquet placed to keep someone from bleeding to death from...a paper cut, but that is still preferred to first aid underkill.

Examples of first aid underkill to be revealed next week...

This Just In...

It may look cool on TV, but please do not pit an avocado by stabbing the pit with a knife (unless you aren't that keen on continuing to have normal sensation and function in your hand). Instead here are five alternatives:
1. Pop the pit out from behind with your thumbs.
2. Scoop out the pit with a spoon.
3. Cut the avocado into smaller and smaller slices until you can easily remove the pit with your fingers.
4. Peel the avocado and smash it with a fork until the pit come free.
5. Avoid eating avocados.
I admit the last one may be a bit extreme...but I am rather partial to moving and feeling all my fingers.

W is for (a healthy) Weight ##
X is for Excitement (## outside the ED and **** in the ED!)
