A new weekend and new prompt to choose, first of all, I wanna say thank you to sir galen for this wonderful prompt since it helped me to generate an idea with the given topic, for today's weekend I choose a topic about what to do once there was an accident since it will help me to think critically on what to do once I encounter a real-life case.
Think fast
You are the first to arrive at the scene of a terrible vehicle accident. You can see people moving and some not moving within the vehicle. There is no one else around for miles and no phone service...just you. Explain what you do and why in a post of at least 300 words. I like seeing people using photos they took themselves so give it a try.
For instance, when I arrived at the scene when a terrible accident happened and I saw a lot of injured people, the first thing I will do is immediately run towards the accident and don't panic. Look around for all the victims of accidents and immediately help those people who are in bad shape, like some are in terrible positions.
Immediately looking at how bad their state is and slowly helping them move to a safe area, I learned in our medical practice that we should always help those who are severely injured and those who are not badly injured must prioritize in the end.
Our enemy, in this case, is time cause as time goes by, those who are badly injured can develop more severe damage, and in addition to that it became more terrible once there are multiple victims but you're the only one who can help.
The next thing I will do is try to dial emergency hotline even if there's no phone signal, according to what I searched, it is possible to call emergency hotline even if there's no phone signal but once I encounter a terrible situation which I can't call for help, the best thing I can do is ensure that all the victims are in a safe area.

I knew some basic first aid that's why I can use it temporarily to help that victim, once there's bleeding, the best thing I can do is to get a clean cloth or a towel and then press it victim's wound, it will help to reduce the bleeding to save person's life.
Also, it's better to wait for other people's help, if the accident happens on the road, there's a big chance that other vehicles will pass by and see the accident, and they will also help that victim.
Vehicle accidents can happen anytime, there's a big chance that it will happen in front of you that's why it's very important to help to avoid any further damage. Always remember to keep calm, help as much as possible, prioritize those who are badly injured, and ask for help.
If you manage to do all those things then you can save the lives of many people. That's why it's important to learn first aid since it can help to save a person's life.
