Why First Aid Kit?
The
immediate treatment given to an injured person is regarded as First Aid. The
question we then need to ask, is how prepared we are offering First Aid.
Being
injured is serious business and having the right First Aid is imperative. Many
people are maimed for life because there was no First Aid given to them when
they got injured.
Many
people today are living with pains and some with scars because First aid was
never given to them when they got injured. I have a personal experience when I
was in Primary school and I had a domestic accident where I got injured. There
was no one to offer First Aid to me and had to wait for my mother to come back
in the night after her business for the day to take me to a chemist which was
very far away from home. Today I live with that scar which would not have been
if First aid was given to me.
Some
few years ago while traveling to Port Harcourt from Warri with a notable
Transport operator, we had a Road Traffic Crash (RTC) where some people had
injuries and fortunately I had my First Aid Kit handy. I gave First Aid to some
of the injured before they were taken to the nearby hospital for further
treatment. That went a long way to ameliorate their pains due to their
injuries.
Furthermore,
I observed another RTC within Abuja metropolis involving two vehicles. One of
the vehicle driver sustained minor injury because of the vehicle’s airbag that
was activated but the other Driver was not too lucky because he had to be
brought out of the vehicle with blood gushing from his body and was made to lie
down on the road in pains without any First Aid being given to him. The reason
is because none of the vehicles had First aid Kits.
Not
too long ago close to my Residence while coming back from Church I saw a
vehicle hit a motor cyclist and a mother and child on the motorcyclist toppled
on top of the vehicle to the other side falling on the road. Both mother and
child where in pains and the Motorcyclist couldn’t get up. I had to rush to my
house to get my First Aid Station and offered First Aid before the victims
where taken to the hospital.
All
of the above is to ensure that pains resulted in an injury is reduced so that
the victim becomes calm before further treatment is meted on them. It is very
important that we all have a First Aid Kit handy both at home, Office and Cars.
However,
it is not just having a First Aid Kit handy but rather having the right one
with the right supplies in them. We all need First Aid Kit at home to handle
Domestic injuries especially for the kids who are prone to injuries in their
tender age. We also need them in our offices as well as cars to take care of
RTC where the need arises. The bottomline is to ameliorate the impact of the
injuries and also reduce the severity of such injuries.
Find below a poster that ask what will reduce
your pain when there is an injury. Is it your Ipad, Blackberry,Iphone which are
very expensive or a First Aid Kit which is less expensive. Your guess is as
good as mine.
What
should we do you may ask? Get a First Aid Kit both for your home and for your
car. You may not be the victim but your neighbor might or friends or colleagues
and you will just be the one to save them. A lot of people have died in RTC
because no immediate treatment was given to them, the reason every motorist
should have a knowledge of First Aid applications.
Below
are two First Aid kits we know has helped families, friends and motorist alike which
comes with the right supplies and also endorsed by a reputable international
organization (American Red Cross).The All Purpose Kit that is meant for
homes,sports,office, etc and the Auto First Aid kit that is good for Cars or
any Road Moving Vehicle. It is affordable, but then as the Safety Professionals
will say if you say Safety is expensive then try accident.
It
is my Conviction that if everyone is prepared by having a First Aid Kit handy,
it will save a lot of us from being maimed for life or death. Get a First aid
Kit today for your homes and Cars and be First Aid Compliant.
