Writing Workshop - 6/20 - Journalism Classroom - Tuesday Morning

As everyone came into the classroom, Chloe was looking through the books that she'd pulled from the library for today's class, and giggling madly. Should that be taken as a foreboding sign? Quite possibly, yes.

First Aid Workshop # 5, Tuesday Morning

Elliot seems a little gleeful as she welcomes the students.

"Okay, so today? Is broken bone day. Well, actually, it's about fractures, sprains, strains and dislocations in general. See, they're all really hard to tell apart without an X-ray or medical training. So the rule is to always, always act like it's a fracture. Patients might report a "grating" sensation of bones rubbing together, extreme pain, tenderness, swelling, bruising and an inability to move the injured part. In first aid, you control any bleeding, take care of any shock, splint the affected area, and apply cold packs.

Victims with traumatic injuries, like what you'd see from a car wreck or a fall, should not be moved except by trained rescue workers. Head, neck and back injuries are serious and require special care for movement and transport of victims with these conditions.The one exception is if the victim is genuinely at risk of further injury -- like, if a car crash with people still in the cars is on train tracks. If that's going on, stabilize the head and neck and move the person without flexing the head, neck or spinal cord.

I've split you guys into groups of three: you should all watch me demonstrate splint technique for all fracture areas, and then practice it yourselves on the body parts you've been assigned. Work on each other, or ... well, the good news is, the Danger Shop has quit sending up badgers when I asked for victims. The bad news is, it's giving me miniature llamas instead. If someone knows how to actually work this thing, let me know, otherwise you can practice veterinary medicine, or tape up each other. If you don't want to work on each other? Watch out for the llama spit."

Scoobying Workshop #5, Afternoon 6/20/2006 (Main Campfire)

[Roster]

This time there's a widely-spaced row of folding chairs in the open area near the main campfire. However, astute observers (AKA those with eyes) will notice that there's only enough chairs for about half the campers in the workshop. Xander waves people back to the usual logs to actually sit down after they sign in, though, leaving the chairs empty except for two rolls of tape on the seat of each. One duct, one gaffer.

He walks over and picks up both rolls from one of the chairs, holding them up in one hand. "So today I thought I'd talk about a role on the team that everybody thinks is a bad one, but it can actually be an advantage if you look at it right: ( The One Who Always Gets Kidnapped. )
