A nice combination

Well, today proved to be a more interesting Saturday than the last. I decided to check if the Red Cross training day could use an extra casualty - I was in luck.
So I was done up in make up, and given bruises, blood and open fractures. I even 'performed' a heart attack at the end, just for a change. It was the first time I'd ever been a casualty in a simulation, and it was great fun. Us casualties had a great laugh, and a fine blether. I wouldn't say no to doing it again. It was a mix of drama and first aid - a nice combination.
The only problem was actually removing the false wounds at the end of it.
So, duty number four tomorrow - moto x, woo hoo! No doubt I'll find a time to write about that tomorrow.
