The application of basic fi rst aid could save a life. And if that life could be the life of your child, wouldn’t you want to know a bit more? James Fouche comes to the rescue...
If there is one certainty with children, it is that some terrible thing will always happen. It is inevitable. Whether they fall out of a tree, stumble into the pool by accident or devour the snail bait in the garage, some horrible experience is awaiting every parent. As a result parents are sure to come upon a broken arm, a stubbed toe, a bruised forehead, scrapes or cuts, fevers, poisoning, or even worse. It does not help being in denial about it. Rather, do a bit of first aid research and be prepared. Prevention is better than cure.
The thing is when people think first aid, they normally think about a bloody business. They imagine a bunch of paramedics hovering over a body, struggling furiously to save a life or a limb. It might be true to a degree, but it is not always as brutal as it is made out to be. Bloody or not, the application of basic first aid could still save a life. And if that life could be the life of your child, wouldn’t you want to know a bit more?
