bandages 101.. ok wrap me up!

surgery minor prac.. friday, 10 am

bad hairday..

i was again late..

may be just in time.. :p

arrived after doc..

we just had another fun time with dr regal..

no pressure...

so how to correctly apply a bandage?? for dislocated joints, sprains, etc...?


definition:

a bandage is a piece of material used either to support a medical device such as a dressing or splint or on its own to provide support to the body. so when a applying a bandage, whe want to immobilize the injured joints.. so we pull the bandage towards the opposite site of injury..

we looked like a bunch of injured soldiers..

NEXT WEEK: IV insertion...

have never been hospitalized so i dont know yet how it feels to have a line inserted in my veins.. no chance of me volunteering.. haha i guess..

maybe its similar to donating blood..ive tried donating several times already..painful but tolerable.. eversince, i preferred being the one holding the needle than the other way around..
