Red Crescent Public Duty

I had Red Crescent public duty at a Taekwondo championship at SMK. St Joseph yesterday from 9.00 to 6.00 in the evening. It was raining freaking heavily that morning and we had to transport a stretcher and a first aid kid from SMK. St. Teresa at 8.30am over to SMK. St. Joseph in the heavy rain. Anyway, at the same time. S. Jo's Red Crescent had a midyear camp that day as well and I think I came across top 6 incoming comittee so call the Seductive Six and it was only 8 something when you can already hear Aaron making a heck lot of noise on his guitar. Then, there was the two St. Jo first aiders already in the hall and they had a new stretcher which, was unlike ours, it could fold in the middle and was fitted into a bag. There was no great injuries such as people fainting of anything except one or two bruises and minor cuts and abrasions. Nothing big. Taekwondo people are like come on, made out of titanium or something, well most of them...

Then it was break from 12 to 2 and then there we were again carrying on our first aid duties and nothing great happened again except this really smart St. Jo Red Crescent guy who smartly and blindly stubbed his toe against the cement floor while playing football. And he is none other than Aaron Chan. So there he was, my first casualty of the day when he came to me to get his bloody toe treated. Did I mention that plasters make a person look more good looking? Cause it makes your toes stand out.

There's a very innovative First Aider. The First Aid kit as a hand rest and the stretcher (St. Jo's stretcher as a headrest. Aaron told me to drop a fly inside the guy's mouth.
