RE: Killing my buddy

in Outdoors and more12 days ago

Surely your friend with your advice will wake up a little bit and will not die anymore... But you leave some good questions to which you give answers in turn, such as where the first aid kit is used or for whom it is intended. It's interesting to analyse these things.

I like to be prepared and I have a first aid kit at home, especially for simple wounds, but I have expanded it for example for deeper cuts because my brother works in a restaurant and uses an axe... he has been hurt a few times and I want to have everything I need. If I can help before the ambulance arrives, I don't hesitate to do so.

Sort:  

Well, he'll probably die some more, I'll kill him a few times myself and literally everything on the planet will kill him too...so he has a lot of dying to do yet...but I hope he'll learn a thing or two in the process.

What's the ambulance response time up your way?

I have never had to call one personally but I have had to call the fire brigade because the first floor patio caught fire and in less than 10 minutes they were here with the ambulance as well.

Ten minutes? I called one this year and they said up to 5 hours. I ended up stabilising the person then driving them to hospital emergency in my truck. The hospital system and ambulance service is broken.

It may be that the proximity to hospitals that I have personally from where I live makes it quick but in general fire brigades and ambulances are very effective.
