Principles of First Aid, Danger Shop, Morning, 5/23

[blonde-doctor.livejournal.com]

Elliot is seated cross-legged on a table in the front of the Danger Shop, wearing a lab coat and looking only a little nervous. When most of the students have assembled, she begins.

"Hi, I'm Elliot Reid. You can call me Dr. Reid, or Elliot, or... just don't use the E.T. voice, or I will have to beat you senseless. And yes, it's a boy's name, I'm not a boy."

"We have a lot to cover if you guys want to be qualified for Red Cross certification at the end of the term. I'm handing out the syllabus, which I stole from Red Cross of Singapore. Because we only have so much time, I'm going to kind of skim a lot of this. I also have made up first aid kits for each of you; take them, use them, love them. If they get you in trouble, don't blame me."


"The basic idea of First Aid is to, you know, keep people from dying or becoming horribly disfigured on the spot. Now, if you don't know what you're doing, you end up hurting way more than you help. So first rule is, don't do anything until you have assessed the situation and called 911 if necessary. Even if you happen to be a doctor, you call 911. Got it?"

She glanced down at the syllabus.

"So anatomy is one of those things I'm going to skim. You have bodies. They have all kinds of funky things about them. If you want to know more, there's a good Web site for you to play with loaded on those computers over there."

"And now to the fun stuff." A little gleefully, she illuminated another section of the danger shop. Three small rooms came into view, each containing a Danger Shop-generated scene of chaos. "You guys have been divided into completely arbitrary teams. Each team should go to a scene, talk out what you're going to do if you want, and then each of you should demonstrate how you would react. I know it's early and it's summer, so don't wait for everybody if there are people missing from your group."

"And when you're done with that, come back and we will play with triangular bandages. They're useful, they're compact, and they make a really decent bikini if you're desperate."

[OOC: OCD is up. Play. The scenarios are like life-size dioramas; you can interact with them, but the people are just computer-generated models. Mod them as necessary.]

"Right. This isn't anything on the Blitz," Walter said, surveying the wreck. "We have to stop traffic because we shouldn't move the mother until an ambulance gets here."

Team B, Scenario 2

[blonde-doctor.livejournal.com]

Scenario: A man is choking in the middle of a crowded restaurant. Rushing to help him, a waiter has dropped a bottle of wine and slipped on the glass fragments, which are now sticking out of his knee. You can also hear a chef cursing from the kitchen, where he has clumsily dipped several fingers into a vat of hot oil.

Jamie shouts out: "Call 911! Er... Three times!"

Team C, Scenario 3

[blonde-doctor.livejournal.com]

Scenario:There is a beach full of people who are rapidly becoming extremely and obviously sunburned, and who all appear deeply asleep. Some of them are also being nibbled on by a herd of angry badgers; others are almost underwater due to the rising tide.

Also, your nose itches.

"I'm not entirely sure these people deserve to be saved if they don't wake up when hungry badgers are trying to eat them," Peter said with a frown. "It's called self-preservation yo. I suppose there might be an alarm bell somewhere we could ring to wake them up?"

Re: Team C, Scenario 3

[greenmagebriar.livejournal.com]

"Well, can I also point out that if your nose is itching it may be because there is something in the air making everyone asleep? It may be a good idea to somehow filter out the air you are breathing or try, I don't know, not breath."

Triangular bandages

[blonde-doctor.livejournal.com]

Make them into a sling, demonstrate wound technique, wear them like hats .... the possibilities are endless.

Re: Triangular bandages

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie is trying to tie a sling.

On himself. Or a duplicate rather.

"You're doing it wrong."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes. Yes, you are."

"How do you know?"

"Because I don't know how to do it, so therefore you must be messing it up."
