I'm sure I could have still managed a better job than you...
i had to learn first aid to take care of myself.
i've gotten good at dressing wounds.
i splinted my own arm when i was 12 at my grandmother's house. the navy doc checked it over and left it the way it was but gave me a real sling.
then again we were army and at a navy hosp so he prob just didnt' like us.
