Paranoia & First Aid, Period 3, 11 Jun '08

The stacks of bandages on the desks probably made this workshop topic obvious. Mohinder picked up one of the rolls and twisted the ends in his fingers.

"Blood and broken bones are some of the most obvious signs of injuries. Not that internal bleeding can't be life threatening, but that's a problem requiring more medical intervention." He glanced around the classroom, before continuing, "I'm sure you've experienced minor injuries, where the blood loss stops automatically," and going on to describe bandaging techniques.

"Bones can be broken in a simple or compound fracture," Mohinder described the possibilities. "And, depending on the site and complexity of the break, they can take months and medical intervention to fully repair, where something as simple as a broken nose will heal on its own. With broken arms or legs splinting and immobilising the limb is the first step," he summarised.

"Now try it for yourselves."

[OCD is up!]
