This idea popped into
my head few days ago after i learnt about the terrorist attack at a certain
mall in Kenya(Rip to the dead)
The world is evolving into a state of: "if they are not me, kill them all
and let them die" That is why we have to face reality, anything can happen at anytime the world is becoming more and more devastating everyday that anybody can be in the situation at anytime. A world of brutality and wickedness.
Okay, imagine you have been shot(God forbid), congratulations you survived
and there is no help around, or not even sure if any is coming soonest. Chances of surviving a bullet wound depends on various factors.
The dept at of the wound created by the bullet.
If the bullet has came in contact with major blood vessels, Organs, and bones.
The distance from the hospital
The type of bullet
The survival hints below is bent on keeping you alive until help comes and encompasses all of this factors.
TAKE COVER:
The first thing to do is to avoid another taking another shot by pulling yourself up unto a safe place.
MAKE NECESSARY ATTEMPTS TO PLACE A CALL FOR AN AMBULANCE OR CAL FOR HELP IF POSSIBLE.
MAKE SURE YOUR AIRWAYS ARE GOING THROUGH AND KEEO ON BREATHING.
FIGHT BLEEDING:
Wounds opens up a groove or vent for the confined blood inside your blood vessels to make their way out and a bullet wound is not an exception. Maybe the blood are always happy to be free from running around your body that's why you see them rushing out happily through your wounds. Everything likes freedom anyway.
Stopping a bleeding bullet wound could be very hectic depending on the dept of the bullet inside the body. And also if the bullet has sojourned through any main artery, organ or even the bones. An internal bleeding is more dangerous than a external bleeding. But in every bullet wound your goal will be to contrict the affected blood vessels around the wound, and this you can do through applying either pressure or a method called cautirizing(heating up a metal heavilly and placing it on the wound) oh my God this can be so painful you know? But in critical situations like this, pain is not a factor to be added up amoung the problems at hand. To apply pressure, use a pad over the wound and apply pressure directly to the wound. If you have nothing available, even your hand or fingers can be used to control bleeding. You can still employ other methods of stopping bleeding which you feel can help in the situation.
CALM YOURSELF DOWN:
You have to be calm and also stable physically, mentally spiritually and any other ally available. Moving the affected part will push the surrounding arteries to deploy more blood to the wounded part, causing more bleeding. And also, panic will increase your heartbeat, more blood will be pumped and with the open wound serving as a channel for the pumped blood to be deposited. Then spiritually in the sense that, your soul need to fight the fear of living the body, and this you can achieve by praying to your creator.
DRINK A LOT OF WATER:
Water will help replenish your intravascular fluid lost during bleeding.
PREVENT INFECTION:
When the bullet was plunging into your body, it cannot in there alone, it goes in with some particles of your hair, skin and also your clothe. All this particles, especially the skin will start decomposition immediatly because it is dead. And thereby setting up a breeding ground for bacterias which will end up causing an infection if not attended to. To prevent infection you have to keep the wound clean by cleaning it with water and a clean cloth. Continue doing that until the ambulance arrives to take you to the hospital for proper treatment and a removal of the bullet.
Thanks.
