Article for Debate: Basic Emergency Medical Response
Items in Red are in contention, and require discussion and approval.
We, the Men, do hereby declare that a man should have basic knowledge of Emergency Medical Response, or at least be able to fake it well until help arrives. This includes: Basic First Aid, CPR, applying a basic tourniquet, and the Heimlich Maneuver. A Man with these important skills can easily shrug off lesser wounds himself, and give his cohort a blithe “Relax, you’re going to live, man” when he’s crying like a little girl over a minor boo boo.
Mandated Exceptions
Not everyone is cut out for First Aid. Know your limits!
- If you faint at the sight of blood, stay far, far away from accidents. Nothing says wussie like fainting.
- If you vomit at the site of vomit, FOR GOD’S SAKE MAN UP! And stay away from people that are vomiting.
