Gathering from Disaster to Disaster

Minggu, 30 Oktober 2011

For some people volunteering, or better known as the volunteer is a proud thing. Moreover, we can find a variety of areas postscript if we deliberately want to visit the site at some time. However, by joining with several organizations engaged in the social field in this case the Indonesian Red Cross in particular, was a rare opportunity. Because unlike some other organizations such as Scouts, follow or join a volunteer is not easy. In it we have to take part in education for a few days on various fields, especially regarding the actions of the first medical aid prior to referral. For example helping people falling from vehicles, as a trained lay people (not doctors) and have been trained in first aid we shall make do until then referrals to hospitals or health centers.

In every action we even humanity itself must not be arbitrary, melankan must request permission to people around the incident. Now the question is if we are located at the site the first time it what? This is another story, if such we may directly perform first aid measures and must ask permission to help the victims if still conscious. But if the victim was unconscious, we just take action. What sort of things that need to be done when you want to start this humanitarian action? The first is that we will respond with various levels such as speech, press and even painful pinch. And so on until the end and do not forget to ask for help for others to call for an ambulance to a referral made. Any medical action is related to human life, so do occasionally seek help if the condition of our mind in doubt.

A mandatory thing to consider is the safety of themselves, the victim and the environment around us. Do not let us become the second victim just because we are negligent in securing yourself. Help other people we desperately need such as lifting the victim or to call a vehicle to secure the flow of traffic. So a brief explanation from me, regards humanity. Siamo Tutti Frateli which means We All Brothers.
