Journal T2.1.A first aid

   2014, circa February - march, we had our STC/RTC. This camp is used to introduce our new recruits to the new scouting and camping life they would experience in Secondary school. In this camp, I was made the First Aider, as I had worn the ambulance badge on my scout uniform. I got this badge through the First Aid course conducted by the SJAB. Although the general program is quite safe, there are still instances where i am required to perform my duty. One instances would be during the night game at Bidadari. As it was near pitch-black, it is hardly visible to navigate the some-what rugged terrain. Due this, Hemanth fell down and suffered abrasions on his knees and hands. After attending to him, there was still a night walk. Luckily, we had a toilet break at a proper washroom at the MRT station before going for the walk. Thus, we were able to properly wash his wound. This is important as and unwashed wound would be an open invitation form germs and bacteria to invade the wound through dirt. It could also cause an infection. Even though there wasn't much instances where in have to fulfill my duty, it would also be a good thing, as this would mean that there are less people who are hurt.
