A Simple Guide To Emergency Tips And Improvised Health Care

This book describes Emergency Tips and Improvised Healthcare which is seen practiced in some of my patients in my Family Clinic. I have been writing medical articles for my blog: http://kennethkee.blogspot.com (A Simple Guide to Medical Disorder) for the benefit of my patients since 2007. My purpose in writing these simple guides was for the health education of my patients. This book is also about one of my favorite topic: emergency care and improvisation of medical and health care.
As a First Class Boy Scout previously (equivalent to Eagle Scout in USA) I used to make use of my uniform to improvise uses for emergency care. The scarf that we wear around our neck is used to bandage wounds or as a sling for dislocated shoulder or fracture. It can also be used to as a tourniquet. The staff which we used to carry to hike through rough terrains is used to fight off dogs or animals during our hiking expeditions.
It is also used to form a tent with the poncho that we carry during rainy weather. It can be broken into 2 pieces to tie around a fracture bone. Together with another staff from another scout and 2 scarves around the 2 staffs we can use it as an improvised carrier to carry the injured person. The lanyard is useful as a rope while the whistle can be used for emergency alarms. The scout knife can be used to cut ropes, used for cut food for eating or as an all purpose tool.
Of course now the Swiss knife is more useful. Even the stockings that we wear can be used as bandages for tying wounds. The scout belt can be used as an all purpose leather carrier. The leather can be used for sharpening knives and the buckle can used to open the caps of bottles. I have truly learned much about innovations and improvisations as a Boy Scout and have incorporated in my improvised health care.
It is impossible to write about all the improvisations of the many doctors in this small book. Emergency TipsWhether it is a minor situation or something more severe, first aid knowledge will give you the confidence to act!You could be the difference between life and death!First do no harm, help all that you can and do not help beyond your ability. The first-aider should call ambulance until he or she know someone has heard and called ambulance or go for helpIt is not what goes in the ears, but what is between the ears that matters.
The best medical instruments are the hands, fingers, and brain, They seldom break, they are hard to misplace, they can be upgraded continuously, and frequently invent new solution. I have always believed that that improvising the medical instruments and medicines are important ways of improving our treatment of patients. In my clinic I used to have large paper funnels which were the precursor to the modern stethoscope to use to hear some children's lungs and heart beat because they feel less intimidated than the medical stethoscope than a paper funnel.
A pen torch with a front funnel piece with magnifying glass can be used as a cheap auroscope or can be used for the nose to examine the nose when the expensive auroscope is damaged or waiting for a replacement light bulbA spoon can be used for eating as well as medical uses. It can be hit against glasses containing different levels of water to test the pitch of hearing loss. A spoon that is washed thoroughly and bent at an angle can be used as a tongue depressor or laryngoscope using an attached torch to look into the mouth or larynx.
The humble clothes hanger can be cut and bent to make forceps.
