First Aid Kit – Health Care

During this summer’s ride through Yellowstone we rounded a corner to confront what has to be one of every rider’s worst nightmares, a rolled-over car with injuries. We weren’t the first one the scene, others were extricating the injured couple from the wadded-up SUV as we pulled up, and as often happens in these situations someone who seemed to know what he was doing had taken charge. He was doing what can only be described as a hell’uva of a job, but the people needed medical attention and they needed it quick. Both in shock, and bloody messes, the man had a large gash in his foot, while the woman was bleeding from cuts to her arms and face was having trouble breathing.inline_mediumwraptextrightSome bandages, a few sterile cloths and a couple of antiseptic wipes, and a basic first aid course are all you really need. The supplies fit in a 2 1/2 by 4-inch container, and it’s no exaggeration to say it might save some one’s life.31295586/tech/0912_crup_first_aid_kit0912_crup_33_z+first_aid_kit+supplies.jpgTrue
