Hero Management- Monday- Period 3- Class #6

[smartestone]

Once again class was held in the Danger Shop today, which looked a bit like the clinic. Not exactly like it, but it had the same clinc-y feel to it. There were also supplies set out, so the students could probably figure out what they were doing today.

"We've gone over how to prepare, how to try and talk the hero out of doing something stupid or at least pointing out flaws in their plan, and it's always possible that despite your best efforts, something will go wrong. Most commonly, these things will be injuries. Hopefully it's nothing more than simple scrapes and bruises, but broken bones might happen, or a person might be knocked unconscious, and someone has to know what to do in a case like that," said Hermione, who began passing out a series of handouts. "Conditions might not always be ordeal, so you might not have proper supplies or time to treat something properly, in which case you may have to improvise. And for today's class, let's ignore that you might be able to heal something with powers, or with spells or potions. What I'm giving you now is just basic information, and I'm not a professional. If you can take a first aid class, I recommend it. There's no such thing as being too prepared. I also want to state that if an injury does occur, as soon as you can get proper medical attention, do so. Don't try to hide any injuries because you might get into trouble. Better punished than sorry.

"If someone is injured, stay calm. It might be difficult, especially if there's blood involved, or if the injury is otherwise... unpleasant somehow," she said carefully. "Check for responsiveness, and make sure you're treating the right thing. If someone is still breathing, there's no need to try CPR on them, for instance, not even if you saw them do it that way on television. Now, I want you to go over the information you've been given, and then I'm going to have you pair up to practice making a splint. You have the handout and can use the available supplies, and I'm here if you have any questions."

Listen to the lecture

[smartestone]

Talk, get your handouts, actually listen...

For once, Jack actually paid very close attention to the lecture and handouts.

Of course he thought nothing of how it would be applied to him running straight into danger back in Fandom but how he could use it for other people.

He's so damn noble.

Percy knew about treating injuries while on the run pretty well. He didn't have to worry about that because of the healing effects he got from water but he'd patched up Grover and Annabeth and Thalia enough to know the basics.

The Watchers' Council had taught Wesley well regarding the treatment of injuries, but it had been a while since he'd had the chance to practice. This would be a welcome opportunity, he decided.

And, if he and Firekeeper got their way and they ended up going to help Katniss? It would be a very useful skill to have.

Luke tended to get hurt all the time, so this lesson would probably be useful. He hadn't broken anything yet but it did seem kind of inevitable.

Raven had learned about first aid in Magic Reserves, though she had little need of it given who she was. Still, if there was a time when her powers weren't working, it was useful information to have.

The bandages on Gabrielle's shoulder that she kept absently scratching at from time to time, not to mention the ankle she was still favoring a bit, were fairly recent reminders of how likely she was to get into injury-prone situations while running around with Xena. (Okay, the ankle had been her fault for wanting to learn how to do flips, but . . .)

Still, she was curious about how the healing techniques Xena had picked up gods-only-knew where had translated into modern times, as she always was; for the record, the answer to the question was "surprisingly, not all that much."

Long before she'd been subjected to multiple lectures from Bruce on the million and five ways she could possibly get seriously injured and/or killed on the job, Stephanie had dated a guy who'd dislocated his own thumb to get out of handcuffs. Yes, that would be the same guy she'd hit in the face with a brick the first time they met.

Let's just say she was painfully -- pun so very intended -- aware of the possibilities, and that her light academic schedule meant she'd been assigned plenty of first-aid studies courtesy of the Big Broody Boss-man.

. . . she was still trying to look surprised by the lecture, though.

On the upside, at least my 'holy crap, REALLY?' face gets a lot of practice . . .

Pair up

[smartestone]

Splint each other! Supplies are totally moddable.

Re: Pair up

Jack looked around for a partner as he fiddled with one of the splints. And even though this was far from looking like the med center back home, he did get a certain wistful look as his thoughts turned to Allison.

Percy was ready to pair up and splint someone else's arm or leg or, in some instances (other mouthy demigod instances), their mouths.

Re: Pair up

"Splint me," Luke said, giving Percy's shoulder a shove before sitting down next to him.

Re: Pair up

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

Oh look, there was one of the mouthy demigods now! Percy smirked and started reaching for the supplies he'd picked up.

"What should I splint?" Percy asked, looking Luke over. "Arm? Leg? Finger? Lips?"

Re: Pair up

[trigons_child]

Raven eyed the supplies. She preferred to just heal someone, but she'd let someone splint her for practice.

Re: Pair up

Scully waved to Raven, and offered, "Splint you, or be splinted?"

Re: Pair up

[trigons_child]

"You may splint me, if you wish," Raven said, giving Dana a smile. "I have little need for such a skill."

Talk to Hermione

[smartestone]

Who's never had to splint someone, but you know she totally learned in order to teach it.

Re: Talk to Hermione

[eyebrowgoesup]

"Professor, I wish to apologize for my absence these past two weeks," Spock said to Hermione. "I was a horseshoe crab, and therefore confined to a tank for my own health and safety. This rendered me regrettably unable to attend my workshops."

OOC

[smartestone]

I just like using "splint" as a verb. I'm not sure it is a verb, and I don't care.

Re: OOC

[trigons_child]

You are justified. (Though I use it as a verb, too, and wouldn't care as well. :)
