Coincidentally(恰巧), my first aid skills were put to test today. While returning to work with my workmates after lunch, we noticed a small crowd gathered around a 4D shop.Surprisingly, they weren't buying lottery(彩票) tickets. Instead a pale looking aunty seated on the step of the shop had attracted a crowd around her.We immediately rushed to the scene.
I introduced myself as a certified first aider, which put her mind at rest.Though feeling weak,she refused to lie down.I realized that she was in a poorly ventilated(空气流通不好的) area as many were frequently walking past her.My workmates and I moved her to a well ventilated area.Some kind onlookers bought her mineral water.She felt better after resting and drinking some water.
A bleeding wound was noticed on her neck.She had been injured during her fall and was feeling weak.Thankfully a medical shop was nearby and necessary first aid items were bought.While dressing the wound,I collected necessary information (name,health problems,medicine,etc.) about her.She is a patient with high blood pressure who takes her medicine regularly.A complete head to toe examination was performed.No further sign of bleeding was observed.We encouraged her to see a doctor before she left for home.
Being trained with proper first aid knowledge and skills allowed me to help Aunty Sally today.Thank you for taking the time to teach us these lifesaving skills.It has given me confidence to reach out to those in need and provide proper care.Special thanks to the First Aid Team for making a difference in our lives.
Best wishes,
Nivashini
