Tonight, everyone was treated to a great presentation on First Aid In the field. Bill covered every conceivable disaster which could happen in the field / home and gave practical demonstrations on how to treat them. We were even given a demonstration on the use of a defibrillator.
Bill brought us up to speed on the latest treatments and we learned a lot about spider and snake bites. Did you realise that red back spiders and white tailed spiders should be treated with ice, not compression?
The presentation drew a lot of lively discussion and thanks also to Roy Killen who was treated for being impaled on a biro, fractures, snake bites, a messy head and arm bleed and a cracked skull. After all of that, Bill got him “repaired” and he managed to drive home!
It was a fun but very educational night. Thank you Bill.
