First Aid is Important

Yesterday I got to a car accident site right after it happened. There were no others around who knew first aid, so people were just standing there watching. Fortunately, nobody was seriously hurt, and as this happened downtown, rescue services got there even before I had had the time to check on all three injured.

Having first aid training helped me act quickly, and hopefully also correctly. I was amazed at how little the bystanders managed to do. The injured and dazed driver of the worst wreck was left sitting on his own behind the wheel.

Contact your local Red Cross and find out where you can take a course in first aid.
