Is there no end to this silliness!

 

Maybe let the trained professionals do their job correctly rather than some arb with little training and a van full of stuff have a go?

Will it make a difference if they aren't from the land of the angles? What about Scotland, Wales or NI, what if they are female? You do know

 

Splints are so old school, but since you are ok with the hardware why not skip on to drugs or better yet, will you need help scrubbing for your next bypass surgery?

Sorry about that, the phrase was covered earlier in the thread, its the over riding principal of medical ethics and the first thing a med student learns after he has scoped out the location of the nearest bar:laugh1:

We are more likely to be in the wilds of Watford.

 

A lot of hospitals within 30 miles of Watford. Even a couple of good ones. If you've got private health insurance then there are even more.

Not at all. That's the opposite to "primum non nocere". Your job is simply to keep a casualty alive TO THE BEST OF YOUR TRAINING until the emergency services get there. Splints and stretchers are not going to come in handy unless there is IMMINENT AND SEVERE risk of further injury, in which case there'll be little time to set up splints, neck braces etc.

 

The other underlying principle in first aid which Andy didn't mention is not to put yourself in harms way. I'm sure there's Latin for that too.

 

A person with a lot of kit and a little idea can do much more harm than good.

 

But you knew all that anyway.
