STEPS TO
A MEDICAL SERVE
1-
|
when safe to
do so, move to the nearest injured Free Person with medical kit and a bota
of fresh water in hand |
2-
|
ask the Free
Person of their wounds or source of injury. prioritize tasks as to
which needs attention paid to them first. if not breathing, this will be
your main priority in opening an airway and starting Them breathing on
Their own before attending the next injury. |
3-
|
ask the Free
if they would like a kanda leaf to relieve the pain. if the answer is yes,
instruct them to chew the leaf but not swallow it as kanda is highly toxic.
should the Free Person have internal bleeding,
mix some of the ground cayenne pepper
with hot water (drinking temperature 'hot') and have Them
drink it as a tea. it will stop the internal bleeding and stabilize Their
blood pressure. |
4-
|
open the medical
kit and add the finely ground kanda powder to the fresh water then soak
a clean cloth, squeeze over the wound to flush the wound well then sprinkle
with antiseptic powder |
| 5- |
apply more kanda-laced
water if you have to stitch. cauterizing
is only to be done by a Healer or Physician
as it is a very last resort. |
| 6- |
if anything foreign
is in the wound remove it with tweezers |
| 7- |
if there is active
bleeding apply pressure to slow it. |
8-
|
if it needs stitching
thread the needle with the bosk or verr gut. tie off each stitch as you
go to prevent puckering of the skin as a single, long row of continual
stitches would cause the skin to pucker and prevent infection from seeping
out, thus holding it in causing further problems later on. use the
small pair of scissors in the medical kit to cut each suture. choose the
right sized needle as sewing muscle tissue requires a thicker gauge needle. |
9-
|
flush the area once more with clean water, pat dry with a clean
cloth |
| 10- |
apply a thick coat of healing salve |
11-
|
place a clean, soft pad of bandaging over the wound and wrap a length
of rolled bandaging around the area where the wound is located to hold
it in place, tie off |
12-
|
a little TLC
(tender loving care) goes a long way, but keep the task in mind until all
is completed including the putting away of supplies, before kissing and
cuddling commences. |
