What Are Your First Aid Fears?

FATSAL
By FATSAL

Respected Readers,

Often when we take start of our class by asking everyone what they would like to learn. (Obviously we have a syllabus but it’s good to know what the expectations are.) We also ask what people are afraid of happening or what they’d be unsure of coping with.

Time and again people say:

“What if my child chokes?”

“What first aid to be given to a bleeding patient?”

“What if anyone had heart attack?”

“What we can do before arrival of 1122 to electrocution victim?”

We often do this in our classes but today we would like to request you to take part in this poll and let us know what are your fears. We have decided to post series of articles covering all those topics you feel uncomfortable so you don’t have to be in future or join us in our upcoming training programs to learn basics of first aid so YOU can share learning experiences with your loved ones too.

What's your biggest First Aid Fear?
Snake Bites
Heart Attacks
Injuries to Eye
Amputation
Asthma
Burn
Road Accident
Electrocution
Choking
Bleeding
Breathing Difficulties
Drowning
Head/Neck Injuries
Poison intake
Seizures
Fall from Height
Broken Bones
Others

Dear Hany,

I have no answer to overcome any fear because of kissing but I doubt you are searching for it other than your life partner! In this case you must fear and are right to say that.

Dear Britexpat,

Don't worry when s/he will see you enjoying the KARAK CHAI. They will manage to wait for you to pay them instead of attacking.

Enjoy it and remember us and below link as well.

Dear Mr. Lincoln,

You are right. Those who are trained and experiences have many solutions under their belt to take over problems. What we are trying to achieve here is dealing injury fears. If you don't any then you can also help to understand those skills to overcome fears/panic to control scene and administer first aid.
