First Aid

This term I started working with the uni Red Cross group for many different reasons. I'm hoping that some of the techniques and training will be relevant for vet work, giving me a different perspective on emergency medicine.

Last night I was out on duty on the Royal Mile for the Samhein parade. It was a simple case of following the parade being prepared for any injuries that might occur. The biggest risk was from hypothermia, it was freezing! It was an enjoyable evening despite the temperature, I'll definitely do it again. My foot isn't too impressed however and I'm having to spend today and tomorrow resting it before another busy week begins.
