Combined Magic and Support Reserves, Wednesday Afternoon

Jul 21, 2010 14:04

Unlike last week, there were no Twister boards in evidence, much to Karla's disappointment, at least. Instead, there were several dummies lying about, including on a table directly in front of them. Don't worry, there were still snacks. They were just on another table, off to one side ( Read more... )

Panic briefly, wondering where the food is.

Attempting to get over the deep funk her visit to Faery and saying goodbye to her mother had left her in, Leda was here, drinking a very large caffeinated beverage.

That might have something to do with the nonstop tapping of the foot.

Peter arrived, grateful the subject today was at least in the scope of things he understood quite readily.

He raised an eyebrow at the dummies that were where the snacks normally were. Before spotting the side tables, he wondered if the dummies were going to ooze candy filling or something.

Scully raised an eyebrow back at him, and asked, "What? You have a weird look on your face."

Scully's Demo glacial_witch July 21 2010, 18:07:15 UTC

Once she's pinged in (after 7pm EST), feel free to ping into this thread with comments and questions for her.

Re: Scully's Demo showmetheproof July 22 2010, 02:12:51 UTC

Scully took a breath, and motioned to the four practice dummies she'd hauled with her from the clinic.

"Good afternoon. I'm glad you're all interested in learning CPR." She nodded to the dummies. "This is easier in real life if it's done in pairs, to give one person a break, so I recommend that you attempt this exercise this way too. First on the dummies, then each other. If you're comfortable with that."

She forgot she was teaching teenagers for a minute there.

"First, off call for help. If someone's not breathing, there could be a million reasons why, and a real clinic is the best place for them. You're just here to hopefully keep them breathing until the paramedics arrive ( ... )

Practice glacial_witch July 21 2010, 18:08:02 UTC

Either on the provided dummies or on each other!

Not dirty, really. Okay, maybe a little dirty

Re: Practice showmetheproof July 22 2010, 02:21:19 UTC

Scully was there, ready to help if you lost track of if it was 30 compressions a 100 times a minute or vice versa.

Re: Practice ostianbelle July 22 2010, 02:48:45 UTC

Asuna waved at Scully and moved to the dummies, she followed Scully's instructions and put her hands over the chest and proceeded to compress but did so carefully, aware that she could crack a rib at first go.

Re: Practice showmetheproof July 22 2010, 02:52:59 UTC

"Perfectly. Now breathe into the mouth again," Scully said, watching, "Two puffs. Do they have anything like this where you're from? It looks like you've done it before."

What kind of Healing magics are available and how do they work? Who has other non-magical healing skills? These are important to know before an emergency.

Also, when are some times when it's more appropriate not to use magic for Healing?

"There are medicinal plants and herbs," Tara offered. "I don't think most of them are magic enough to do anything drugs don't do, but they might be a better choice if somebody has a drug allergy, or if you can't get to a pharmacy."

Re: Discussion glacial_witch July 21 2010, 19:46:05 UTC

"Maybe we should do some kind of herb workshop?" Karla said, thinking of Katniss. "Herbs that are useful, either for eating or medicines? If nothing else, at least people will know that wild dill makes for an excellent addition to salad."

And, considering Fandom and its eccentricities, there was no rule that said they wouldn't end up having to live off the land at some point anyway.

Re: Discussion life_inshadow July 21 2010, 20:03:33 UTC

Tara considered it. "That's a good idea to do during the summer," she said. "Catch things while they're in season, right?"

Talk to the Leaders glacial_witch July 21 2010, 18:11:03 UTC

There are only three of them today.

Re: Talk to the Leaders trigons_child July 21 2010, 18:16:53 UTC

Raven was there, and she was never going to understand people who turned down her offers of magical healing.

Stupid stubborn people. Hrmph.

Re: Talk to the Leaders life_inshadow July 21 2010, 18:39:25 UTC

Tara was sitting cross-legged on the ground, feeding a hedgehog raisins.

If hedgehogs didn't eat raisins, Kennedy didn't know that well enough to complain.

Re: Talk to the Leaders glacial_witch July 21 2010, 19:44:03 UTC

Karla still thought an extra week of Twister would be fun, but loved Healing enough that this was an acceptable substitute.
