sharp_man"Good morning." Hannibal nodded at them all. The shop today was set up with inexpensive but fairly hardy briefcases for each of them, and a number of boxes of other things.
"One thing that can help quite a bit when giving first aid is a first aid kit." He raised one at the front of the class to show them. "This is what a typical first aid kit will look like locally, should you see one. The white color and red cross are traditional in this and some other parts of the world, and a good indication that what's inside is medical."
He showed them several different sizes. "Generally, a first aid kit will contain bandages of several types, an analgesic, wipes to clean wounds with, and antiseptic cream. More than that, and larger kits may also include eye washes, cold medicine, slings, hot or cold packs, and splints."
His own contained significantly more actual medical equipment, but then, he had training.
"For today's class, I would like you each to decide, based upon our past classes and your own knowledge - of both Fandom and injuries - what you would put in a first aid kit." He nodded to the empty briefcases. "That is the space that you have to work with. Discuss your decisions, ask questions, and build your kit. You should also ensure that it has sufficient padding not to move and crush important things, and is not so packed full that it will crush important things."
Yes, that was a theme.
He waved his hands at the boxes of supplies. "Make your decisions."
