What would you do if you were at the scene of a serious
road accident?
Road accidents are common nowadays because of the fast moving vehicles, congestion on
the roads and careless drivers. In trying to overtake or knocking against another vehicle,
accidents occur. If may be a false move involving collision in which lives may be lost.
When one is at the scene of an accident one can help to attend to the victim. If there are
cuts and blood is oozing try to arrest the blood. If the wound is dirty, clean it with water
and tie it with a bandage. If there is a fracture, try to support it with a bandage or a piece
of a cloth. If the fracture is complicated simply tie it with a bandage. If the victim is about
to swoon from bloody wounds give some cold drinks, never any hot drinks. In the case of
an ordinary fainting, some hot coffee may be helpful.
First the crowd must be cleared so that the patient may get fresh air. If possible the
patient’s possessions must be secured. Note the number of the vehicle involved. It may be
useful later on, in helping the patient at the court or to get insurance benefits. The police
must be informed. This is very important to avoid complications.
Arrange to transport the patient to the nearest hospital, for delay could mean a life in
danger. Talk to the hospital authorities and see that quick action is taken. In very serious
case you can phone up the hospital for an ambulance. If the address of the patient is
known, his near and dear one has to be informed. After having seen to the comfort of the
patient, make a report to the police.
All that have been mentioned can be done by an experienced hand. It is useful for every
citizen to have some training in dealing with accidents. That is why first aid lessons are
taught in schools, in scouting activities and Junior Red Cross Classes.
If people are indifferent it is not because they do not want to help but the difficulties
involved in going for help. An accident may involve going to the court several times
causing a lot of inconvenience, especially of time and work. But, it is the moral duty of
every citizen to help victims of accidents and not to be a silent and helpless witness.
