First Aid - Danger Shop, Friday, Period 5 [Week 3]

[drywitmartini.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop looked like an empty room with plastic sheeting on the floor. There was a rack of lab coats off to the side and goggles on a table, one for each student. Hawkeye was already wearing his.

Evenly spread out through the room were dummies, a lot like last week's dummies, only now they had full bodies and were properly clothed.

"Humans bleed. Everything from a paper cut to losing a limb will make you bleed. If you lose enough blood, you'll die. Stop that from happening. I won't force you to be elbow-deep in blood today, so our patients will be bleeding green slime."

He then demonstrated on one of the dummies how to treat a bleeding wound and to recognize the signs of internal bleeding.

The lecture also included demonstrations on treating stab wounds and bullet wounds.

"Your turn! The slime is 100% real world material. It stains. Lab coats and goggles are over there if you need them. Your patients will start bleeding in 30 seconds. Use the materials you have," which were pretty much whatever they or the dummies had on them, "to stop the bleeding. Or get slimed. It's in your best interests to practice stopping the bleeding, but I can't deny you the fun of getting slimed."

Watch the Demonstrations

As Hawkeye takes you through the steps.

This was Hiccup listening intently, and being glad the liquid they'd be stopping was going to be green slime. Okay, he might have zoned out a little bit at the bullet wounds bit, because he had no idea what a bullet was, but he was all over the stab wounds.

Cara looked not much bored as on very familiar ground, though she did tilt her head in curiosity at the section on bullet wounds.

She was steadfastly ignoring yet another of those leather backpacks appearing at her feet.

Kate was just really glad for the slime as she watched. This class could've ended in another near-meltdown for her without it.

It was still kinda gross, though.

Alex really wasn't looking to get slime on him today so he paid attention even if some of this he already knew. If he'd been out of class, that slime would have been getting thrown at other people.

He refrained from that today. Trying to be good and all.

Stopping the bleeding was a skill Griff thought anyone in Fandom might have use of and he paid rapt attention to Hawkeye's demonstrations. Really, the boy had never been so focused on a Fandom course before.

Cassidy was paying close attention as she listened to Hawkeye. She could see how this information could be very important to have if things went wrong. However, as she was in no hurry to get that... stuff... all over her, she made sure to pull a tight to her body shield up as she took notes.

Tara looked almost green about the gills as she watched the demonstrations. It all seemed useful, and she didn't have a huge problem with blood (or with slime), it was just ... yeah.

She kept looking away from the demonstration to frown at the large duffel bag under her desk, neatly labeled family said I was evil. She really wished she could get rid of it.

Emma wasn't too thrilled about this, but did her best to pay attention. She wasn't squeamish, not by any stretch of the imagination, but it was hard to be enthusiastic when she had woken up to various pieces of luggage around her bed.

Jono was going to listen to the lecture. Listen to the lecture, and ignore the baggage. Ignore the baggage. Ignore it.

Ignore it, damn it.

Which was difficult to do when new backpacks and suitcases continued to pop up around him.

Shut up. He totally didn't have issues. That one shoulder bag that stated that he had no lower jaw, chest, or internal organs and that he was on fire just had to belong to somebody else. Right?

Leda seemed out of sorts today. This is because she had to keep getting rid of the set of matched luggage that seemed to keep popping up everywhere. But the less said about all that the better.

Alice was quite calm this week. Blood was nothing to be disconcerted by. It came out of most clothes if you scrubbed thoroughly enough.

A medical course at home, Joolushko was certain, would not have to spend this much time going over violent wounds. However, since she was here it all seemed quite useful. And if she were to travel the information might be needed as well.

Stop the Bleeding!

[drywitmartini.livejournal.com]

Work together, work alone, whatever you like! No blood, just thick green slime that will gush from the wounds. Mod anything from cuts to half-severed limbs!

See, Hiccup didn't actually look at the dummies before picking one. He just grabbed a lab coat and a pair of goggles, and stopped at a random dummy while he adjusted them.

When he looked down, and it started to bleed green slime, he kind of wished he had picked one. A different one. One that didn't have its right leg half hanging off.

"Oh boy. Good choice, Hiccup," he muttered as he pulled off the lab coat he'd just put on and started packing it into the wound, trying to cover the whole area and put pressure on it while doing his best not to push the pieces apart any further than they already were. The slime was flowing around his hands as he folded the lab coat up, making his impromptu dressing even thicker, and pressed harder.

Alex got a lab coat and goggles on and found a dummy. He waited a few seconds before the dummy finally started bleeding from a puncture wound near his neck.

It didn't bleed a lot but it was a precarious area so Alex made sure to ball up the ends of his lab coat and press it hard against the wound while leaning over the dummy. His hands were getting slimed but at least the bleeding seemed to be slowing.

Somewhat.

Cara almost wished the dummies were actually bleeding, her leathers were this colour for a reason. With a sigh she pulled off her gloves and started treating a dummy with a sucking chest wound.

Re: Stop the Bleeding!

Kate chose a dummy with nothing major, just a few fairly minor cuts and one that was a little bigger but not exactly gushing. This turned out to be a very smart choice, as a suitcase, a backpack and even a handbag appeared at her feet while she worked on stopping the bleeding.

Or sliming. Or whatever it was.

Anyway, the bags were distracting, but she was determined to ignore them. It was probably even beneficial to her concentration on the exercise.

Cassidy made sure to put on the lab coat even though she was shielded because she might need it for other things.

Cassidy had never seen anyone badly wounded before, so the female dummy that suddenly started bleeding -- err sliming -- from a cut across her throat threw her for a quick moment. Drawing a breath and trying not to let anyone see how worse that kind of wound upset her, she focused instead on tearing her coat into strips to both bandage and try to stop the bleeding.

She wished she had picked another patient that had been bleeding somewhere else, but this was the patient that needed her now.

Even if she could feel her hands shaking as she did this.

Dressed in a lab coat and goggles, Tara found a dummy with a few shallow stab wounds to the upper thigh. She bit her lips in concentration as she elevated the leg and pressed a dressing against the wound. She was getting slime on her hands, but she figured she was washable.

Talk to the TA

[drywitmartini.livejournal.com]

Who probably knows a tad too much about blood.

Re: Talk to the TA

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

Alice did indeed know a great deal about blood, and would pontificate at length if asked. It was advisable that others therefore not ask.

Talk to Hawkeye

[drywitmartini.livejournal.com]

The goggles do nothing. Hawkeye's wearing them though, while wandering around eating the cookies (http://drywitmartini.livejournal.com/296.html?thread=312616#t312616) some kind listener left him this morning.

OOC

It's a slimy kind of week!

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

This makes me wanna watch You Can't Do That On Television. I so always wanted to be slimed.
