Looking for Medical Training
I have known for some time that I would like to increase my knowledge in the medical field. Today, that thought was pounded home once again. I have noticed that some of the training groups will offer a medical class on occasion. Is there somebody that you recommend contacting? I live in the N.E part of the state but am not opposed to traveling.
This morning I rounded the corner of my intersection to pull in the driveway. To my surprise I found a Geo Tracker laying on its side across from my driveway in the ditch and a Blazer in the field, both had obviously rolled to their final position. The driver of the tracker was crawling out of what was supposed to be the sunroof except it was much closer to the ground. The occupants of the blazer were not visible from where I stopped the truck. I jumped out of the truck grabbing my GHB( I keep some first aid supplies there) and confirmed with the first occupant that he was not in serious condition while calling 911 and heading to check on the other occupants. They were both exiting the blazer and did not appear to be seriously hurt. Everybody was lucky today. The driver of the tracker had cut his ear and those in the blazer were scraped up with a few cuts on their arms. The blazer blew the intersection and slammed into the Geo Tracker.
I acted with the best ability and knowledge I have.
1) Called 911 while checking on occupants
2) Supplied bandages. They were able to proved pressure to the cuts themselves.
3) Convinced them with some verbal understanding, all 3 were in their late teens, to stop moving around and wait for paramedics. They could look over their vehicles later.
This time the situation worked out for the best, everybody was ok and the knowledge I do have worked out. I do not know what I would have done if somebody would of been trapped and severely injured except wait for help. I am not looking to become a paramedic, but want to make sure I can provide help when it's needed until better help can arrive.
