Which movies contain first aid or rescue situations? (correct or incorrect procedures)?
I'm trying to find as many movies/TV shows that show first aid or rescue situations. I plan on using these clips as quizzes to help teach first aid to new students. I'd like to find as many as possible. If you are responding with a TV show, please also let me know either the name of the episode or the date it aired. Thanks.
Hypothetical First Aid Situation - Stay or Go For Help?
Have them sit up to breathe easier and have them hold a folded piece of cloth against the wound and keep a firm steady pressure with their good arm. Tell them to stay calm and then go off to get the third person since they're fairly close by. Tell the third person to call 911 or to run off and get help while you go back to the injured one. That injured person should be quite capable of walking so walk them to a place that's more easily accesable for the emergency responders and safe & comfortable for the injured person. It's what I would do. You can put a quick fix on the forehead wound, but you can't really fix fractured ribs and it's too risky to try and move a dislocated shoulder back in place. (You're supposed to leave it as is anyways.) It's your job to keep them stabilized and out of further danger just like an EMT would. It'll be the hospital's job to patch them up again.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF A VICTIM REFUSES FIRST AID HELP?
