•History:
•This is the full story of how the accident occurred. It also should
include the patients past medical history, and medication they are on or any illness they are suffering from.
Details about the causality
should also be found early on in case they go unconscious.
•External Clues:
•These can be medication they have on them or warning
bracelets that give detail about
their medical History. The Medic Alert bracelets tell you how to treat them and who to contact. Medicine for conditions like diabetes or angina could also help
you.

•The most important person at the scene of an
accident is the First
Aider. You should never put
yourself in danger to help someone
else. An injured First Aider is no good. Never go into burning buildings, near high voltage electricity wires
or into water. If you come
across a car accident make sure the ignition is turned off and the hand brake is on. If the car or
causality is in the middle of the
road, use bystanders to stop traffic.
