 Abstract:

Without adequate first aid a small wound can turn into a serious illness,
First aid doesn't just help with recovery; it helps save lives. It is
important to help the victim as much as possible, but early notification
to the proper medical professionals in your community will ensure the
best outcome for any victim. Remember to always ensure scene safety
and dial 911 when necessary before assisting a victim
