gemfyreToday I had a severe bleed on my left lower arm and a fracture in my left lower leg.
And you know what? Nobody treated me and I went into a coma and DIED!
Hehe. First Aid role play is kinda fun. I wasn't treated because there weren't enough first aiders to casualties. The person that started treating me decided that another unconcious casualty was of a higher priority (which in real life he would be). Pity I decided to keel over and die a few minutes later. *grinz*
I now have my Senior Certificate of First Aid again. And I actually feel confident in what I've learned this time around. They've made it all easier and easier to remember and assured everyone that you can't do any more damage than what's already been done so you may as well give it a shot and maybe save a life.
Also paid particular attention to important stuff like heat stroke and venomous critters - they're what I'm most likely to come across in Broome.
The weather outside is now downright balmy - pity it's still pretty hot inside. Should improve as the sun goes down.

I found out my result for this semester last night. I passed, but it was only a pass so i must have only just scraped through the exam.

Bandaging fake gashes with fake glass sticking out of them was fun, though.

Date: 2004-12-14 01:06 pm (UTC)The triage wasn't intentional. There were meant to be more first aiders than casualties but something stuffed up and there was one too few first aiders one time around.

I just told her to stop whinging and let me do the leg or she'd be dead an unable to feel her arm hurt anyway!
We also had one casualty let out an awful squeal at some point. That made everyone jump.
