The latest addition to the Resources section of my site is the First Aid Checklist - The QUICK Reference Guide ...
For a long time now I've been thinking about First aid, and how there are so many things that can go wrong with a person. If you don't know the individual, you may not know the cause of their illness. Making a diagnosis from observed signs and symptoms is difficult because you would have to memorise them all in relation to specific conditions.
What I have done is taken a list of common conditions that may not have an obvious cause - ie: diabetes, shock, stroke, etc. - and listed the signs and symptoms of all of them, cross-referencing each one back to the conditions they indicate. All you have to do is look up each sign and it will tell you which condition it is common to. By then checking the other signs of that condition, you can determine what the problem is likely to be. The document then gives you a brief on what to do in that situation.
The webpage is all hyperlinked, of course, and there is also a printable PDF version. I think a lot of people will find it useful, certainly in BDSM situations: for example, I didn't know cramp was a symptom of dehydration. Think of a long bondage session, both Dom and sub zoned out in their respective headspaces, losing all track of time. The sub gets cramps and the Dom assumes it is just from the ropes...
I think people will find it useful in a LOT of situations...
Many thanks to slimlthrsub for his medical advice.
