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."

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.
