What would you put in your second aid kit?
A flask of rum. If the first aid kit did or didn’t do it then at least buzz it out.
First aid is what keeps the casualty alive long enough for second aid. Second aid is trained medical profesionals working in a medical setting, so a hospital or even the ambulace crew that take over after you stopped the casualty leaking too much.
Yup. For minor issues, first aid is all that is needed; you don’t need to see a doctor for a minor cut, as long as the first aid ensures it’s not infected. But for larger things, secondary aid is what provides more long-term recovery.
If someone dislocates a shoulder, first aid is putting it in a sling and bracing it against the body, so it doesn’t get worse (for instance, the tendons and ligaments in the shoulder joint can tear) before they can get to a hospital.
If someone is massively bleeding, first aid is stopping the bleeding to keep them alive until they can get rescued.
I would call the ambulence crew first aid. The hospital emergency room has a lot more equibment and staff. Sure the ambulence has more than you but their goal is still the same, get you to real help fast.
So the box on the wall that says “first aid” is the ambulance crew, roger that
The ambulance crew is part of first aid. As is the box on the wall. As is the non-medical person who uses something from that box on the wall to help. For all of them their primary purpose is to triage, and and then render get people to the correct needed care. Sometimes (often) the situation is minor and they can handle it, however their primary purpose is to get someone in trouble to better care fast. The ambulance crew has a few more tools to get you to the hospital fast, and some tools to solve emergency situations that most of us do not, but their primary job is still getting someone to a hospital.
Second aid is the hospital
They would do a way better job than me, they should probably go first
Only when you’re already in a hospital when the injury happens.
If I’m in a hospital for 4 hrs, there’s a better than 0 chance I get priapism. (Have a thing for nurses)
The professionals.
Second aid is decade’s of therapy to unpack the PTSD that happened to you
First aid is some random person that did a short class 10 years ago.
Second aid is a doc that studied for years but still doesn’t have all the answers.
Third aid is when you call the dev. They won’t pick up.
God hasn’t responded to a single one of my issues or merged a pull request since I started on this earth. Slacker.
And at what point does Kool aid come in?
Kool aid
*Flavor Aid, and generally following a long, rambling sermon of your cult leader after the murder of a U.S. Congressman.
When your antidepressants stops working 🙃
Koolaid reminds you to use Flavor-aid in all your suicide plans
Second aid is that person screaming “Call the ambulance!” when somebody already has.
Somebody get a sponge.
second aid
It is when you look at the situation for a second, and that’s enough for you to understand that you can’t help.
