My Boyfriend Is A Rescuer (COMPLETED/UNDER REVISION)

CHAPTER 7

SHAUN's PoV

Nakatayo ako't pinapakinggan ko ang sunod na itatanong sa akin nitong isang 'to. Kala niya ba kahit na pasaway ako simula nang isilang ako sa mundong ibabaw, ay magaling ako sa recitation. 

"What is first aid?" Pagtataray niyang sabi sa'kin. As if naman ang ganda niya, it really sucks everytime I remember it. 

"First aid is the assistance given to any person suffering a sudden or, with care provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, or to promote recovery ." Taas noo kong sabi sa kanya habang itong mga katabi ko naman ay tawa nang tawa. Ugh! Hey, 'wag niyo naman akong pinapahiya. 

"Magaling." Tipid niyang sagot, 

"Magaling kang mag search kay google." Taray niyang sabi sa 'kin at pinaupo na lang niya ako. 

Di rin sila tumigil nang kakatawa dahil nakakatawa raw ang ginawa ko. Di ko rin maiwasang mapangiti at humagalpak sa kakatawa, akala ko talaga di niya mapapansin 'yon, naka-low brightness na nga tapos nakita niya pa. Hirap na nga ako sa pagbasa 'non dahil di ko na nga makita. Tch.

"Wag kasi kayong mag pasaway, kung ayaw niyong matawag." Taas kilay niya sa aming lahat, patuloy naman siya sa pag bibigay nang lecture sa amin. 

Wala na akong maintindihan sa sinasabi niya, I just wat to rest. Really tired. Para bang bumabagsak na 'yong mga talukap ko.

The key aims of first aid can be summarised in three key points, sometimes known as 'the three P's':

— Preserve life: The overriding aim of all medical care which includes first aid, is to save lives and minimize the threat of death.

— Prevent further harm: Prevent further harm also sometimes called prevent the condition from worsening, or danger of further injury, this covers 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 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.

A First Aid Kit should have the following contents:

— Adhesive tape, anesthetic spray  or lotion (Campho-Phenique) - for itching rashes and 4" x 4".

— Sterile gauze pads - for covering and cleaning , as a soft eye patch2", 3", and 4"

— Ace bandages - for wrapping sprained or strained joints, for wrapping gauze on to wounds, for wrapping on splints adhesive bandages [all sizes]

— Benadryl - oral antihistamine for allergic reactions, itching rashes. Avoid topical antihistamine creams because they may worsen the in some people.

— Gloves - for infection protection, and can be made into ice packs if filled with water and frozen Polysporin.

— Antibiotic cream - to apply to simple wounds non-adhesive pads.

— Telfa - for covering wounds and burns pocket mask for resealable.

— Oven bag - as a container for contaminated articles, can become an ice pack safety pins

— [Large and small] - for splinter removal and for securing triangular bandage sling scissors.

— Triangular bandage - as a sling towel

— Tourniquet Tweezers - for splinter or stinger or tick removal

BE PREPARED FOR A MEDICAL EMERGENCY

Almost everyone will need to use a kit at some time. Take the time to prepare a kit to have available for home and travel.

— Kits may be basic or comprehensive. What you need depends on your medical training and how far you are from professional medical help.

— Ready-made first aid kits are commercially available from chain stores or outdoor retailers. But you can make a simple and inexpensive first aid kit yourself.

— Be prepared to take enough medication to last at least as long as you may be traveling (or for a few days more in case of delays).

— Carry your medical information with you.

— In case of emergencies when first aid is only the beginning of care, people should be prepared to give emergency personnel all of their current and past medical history.

Sa totoo lang, dumudugo na talaga yung ilong ko. Dere-derecho lang siyang mag-lecture, as if naman' may nakikinig pa sa kanya. Sino ba naman kasing naka-isip magturo ng ganitong oras?

"Zebulon!" Nagulantang talaga kaming lahat nang sumigaw siya. Ano na naman' bang problema niya.

Napalingon ako't nakita kong nahulog si Zeb mula sa kinauupuan niya. Hindi ko na mapigilang hindi tumawa. 

Fuck! Huli ka balbon, Zebulon.

Paniguradong lagot na naman siya nito, lalo na't nakatulog si Zeb habang nagle-lecture.
