First Aid - Danger Shop, Friday, Period 5 [Week 4]

The Danger Shop looked a lot like last week, only this time there were piles of foam bones placed around the room.

"Today is a four step class," Hawkeye declared. "Step one: you're going to learn how to treat a suspected broken or fractured bone. Step three: we're going to learn a song. Step four: you're going to put the song into practice and put those bones together in the right order. There was a step two, but I stepped over it, so let's use it as a stepping stone to the other steps by missing the step."

Like you're about to have to learn a song!

Hawkeye launched into a demonstration of how to diagnose and treat breaks and fractures (http://firstaid.about.com/od/breaksandsprains/ht/06_FxTx.htm) during an emergency. He went into some detail, using the Margaret dummy from earlier weeks, showing what to do with broken (http://firstaid.about.com/od/breaksandsprains/ht/06_fxankle.htm) lower (http://firstaid.about.com/od/breaksandsprains/ht/06_fxleg.htm) extremities (http://firstaid.about.com/od/breaksandsprains/ht/06_fxfoot.htm) and upper (http://firstaid.about.com/od/breaksandsprains/ht/06_fxarm.htm) extremities (http://firstaid.about.com/od/breaksandsprains/ht/06_fxwrist.htm). "Stabilizing is the most important thing. Keeping it immobile and keeping it clean if the break punctures the skin are the two most important things until you can get actual real medical treatment. Time for a little practice. On each other, if you please, or even if you don't please. Victim chooses the broken appendage, then swap."

"I don't know who hasn't heard this song. I'm pretty sure it's been translated into alien languages from far-flung galaxies." That was a lie. He handed out sheets of paper with the lyrics written on. "The tune is repetitive, so sing along with me when you get the hang of it."

Hawkeye proceeded to belt out the Dry Bones (http://www.brownielocks.com/dembones.html) song. Oh yes, he did expect you to sing along. He was going to wave at you encouragingly, sing far too close to your ear and single you out if you didn't. "The toe bone connected to the heel bone..."

"Now, there are some skeletons (http://i49.tinypic.com/2q1t8hk.jpg) waiting desperately for you to put them back together (http://sv.berkeley.edu/showcase/pages/bones.html). You can go when you're done or the hour's up."

Who has bones!

"The finger bone connected to the hand bone."

Earwormed!

Dandelion Naizen

Alex Karev

"The heel bone connected to the foot bone!" Dandelion sang out with some head banging action.

If she had known there'd be singing she would have brought her guitar. And amp. Probably not a tuning fork.

Alex had broken plenty of bones in his lifetime but he was pretty some of them hadn't always set properly. Consequences of no health insurance and a generally crappy childhood.

Still, he paid attention and waited for a partner.

Alex...was just going to stare for a few moments. He was not a singer, not even close and now he had to sing in class. Yeah, really not what he wanted to do.

But he did. Quietly and while his face was turned towards the floor. Needed to protect that reputation and all.

Dandelion was making a complete mess of her skeleton. "Clearly this is some kind of mutant!" she said looking excited. "Or the missing link!"

Or she was just mixing up the bones.

Chances are she was just mixing up the bones.

Kate Gregson

Cara

Cassidy

It was a good thing that Kate was in a pretty awesome mood today. For one thing, it meant that all this just amused her.

Didn't mean she was going to sing loud, though. But she did sing.

Tara Maclay

Denise Mahoney

Rolling her eyes, Cara mumbled her way through the song, a beat behind the rest of the class.

Tara was hiding in the back of the class, but she sang and sang well. There might even have been a few muffled giggles.

Cara put her skeleton together remarkably quickly. This might have been a stupid exercise, but she knew how the human body was put together and wanted to get this over and done with as fast as possible.

Emma Frost

Cara had broken plenty of bones before (some of which had even been her own), so she knew as much about setting bones properly as someone from a place where advanced medicine involved magic could.

She looked around for a partner ~~who didn't mind a bit of SP due to evil timezones~~.

Emma really wasn't that good a singer. She could carry a tune, but she didn't like being forced to perform.

She sang it quickly and under her breath, just wanting to get it over with.
