Unit 5 First Aid

It is necessary for us to grasp some basic and practical first aid techniques in case some minor but dangerous incidents happen in our daily life.You may see someone bleeding£¬ getting an electric shock£¬collapsing suddenly or slipping carelessly in front of you. However urgent and desperate the situation seems£¬ never scream in panic. Offering timely first aid to victims without delay before the ambulance arrives is important because it can ease discomfort and sometimes may even save lives.For example£¬ when seeing someone choking on food£¬ you’re supposed tohelp him to his feet and slap him on the back to force out the obstruction.

Anyhow£¬ we can never justify sitting there and doing nothing£¬ since we all have a responsibility to look after one another’s welfare and any of us may be out of shape and need help some day.
