First Aid and Casualty Care

Medical training and individual first aid is often overlooked, but is important to know. Whether it’s an everyday boo-boo or life threatening injury resulting from an accident, first aid can save lives if you know it! Think of the scenarios of injury yourself with a knife in the kitchen, or witnessing a car accident, with casualty care knowledge, you can save a life or many lives.

There are also schools of thought that if you know how to defend yourself, you should be able to save a life. It’s more than knowing basic first aid like CPR, and how to use an AED. It’s also about assessing the scene, all the way to Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) knowledge.

Build a vehicle response trauma kit (one that you keep in your vehicle), as well as an IFAK (individual first aid kit) that you carry. It’s one thing to carry the proper equipment, it’s another thing to know how to use it. So make sure you seek out training!

I’ll say it again, many skills need to be trained, including First Aid and Tactical Combat Casualty Care! Whether YouTube, books, blogs, or ideally training courses; training is essential!

Some very highly reputable training and equipment companies are:

Childhood development: the MIND

Ideally, gaining hard skills, soft skills, knowledge, and abilities starts at a young age and is a lifelong journey. The more time you have to practice and improve, the better. However, the saying “better late than never” applies here and it’s encouraged to pick something you are interested in, learn it, apply it, and practice! We are going to start this post with childhood development, specifically development of the mind. Reading and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) academic disciplines are imperative! These disciplines provide a solid foundation and huge advantage in a professional career. Reading is the basis to learn all things. Reading gives one the potential to learn anything on their own. From reading, any other knowledge can be gained. Sure, it’s not the only way to learn, one can also learn through mentoring, classes, watching videos, but knowing how to read provides the greatest potential with the smallest barriers. Think of all the knowledge that...
