You're prone to falls, bumps, or lacerations.

Growing up, I fell down several times but now I'm an adult I'm always very careful inorder to prevent falls, bumps or Laceration. I also know how to perform various First Aid Techniques like Wound dressing, applying splint and split.

How to Practice First Aid in Case of an Accident.

  • I would first of all assess the Injury inorder to know the degree of the Injury.

  • I would then call the Emergency service for help, telling them the Accident venue and the Degree of the Injury.

  • If it's a Wound, I would apply Pressure gently inorder to stop bleeding and then clean the would with Methylated spirit and then dress it with Bandage.

  • In the case of Cardiac Arrest, I will perform CRP.

How to perform Aftercare

Some of the Aftercare includes the following.

  • I would ensure the Wound is clean always in order to avoid infecting it.

  • I will always clean the Wound with Cottonwool and Methylated spirit.

  • I would also ensure that the Wound is not too tight inorder to avoid restricting the flow of blood.

  • I would go to the Hospital for treatment Incase it becomes severe.

Do you have any Scar, tell us how you got them.

As a kid growing up, I fell down several times and had Scars on my body, but their is this Particular Scar on my Left Wrist which I got when I traveled to my Village. That very day, I went to watch Masquerade and all of a sudden, the Masquerade started coming towards my direction and I and other people there started running. While I was running, I fell down and hit my hand on the floor. After the Injury healed, I had that Scar Permanently.

Thanks for reading through my post, I invite @chilaw, @akareen and @blessedbee to participate in this contest.
