First-Aid and Basic Medicine | Tuesday | Period Two

Today the Danger Shop was set to resemble a rural, third-world village, complete with creaky but stable houses, more than a few people around (in actuality, probably many more people than would really be present in a small town like this), and a steady current of light rain with puddles rapidly forming in the dirt. Hope you were ready to get a little muddy, students!

In addition, each student was armed with a very limited first-aid kit, some of which had faulty hinges, just because.

"This is your final," Bruce said, swinging his arms. "It's wet and you'll be distracted, but as soon as I'm done talking, each one of you is going to be accosted by someone in this village who needs your help. And when you're done there, you'll be accosted again until time runs out. Use your supplies, don't offend anyone, and remember you're here to help."

Bruce had really enjoyed programming this, and the little details like the ambient dialogue of passersby (which was rarely in (broken) English, and far more frequently in rapid Bengali) and the growing size of the puddles on the ground were enough to make any good game designer weep.

"Ready? Go."
