Medical Emergencies

Courtesy of Dr. Jon Mandell, DCH a member of the POLO CLUB CERT organization and a Medical Reserve Corp member in New Jersey

We all would like to believe that we would stay calm in an emergency. But even if you did, would you know what to do?

Sure, you know to apply pressure to stop bleeding. You know not to move someone who could have a spinal injury.

But, there are many types of medical emergencies. Not all will come to mind immediately.

So, I recommend that you visit the Mayo Clinic's site. It will tell you how to deal with a range of medical emergencies.

You will definitely find this site useful.

I recommend that you bookmark the site after reading it. That way, you can always refer to it quickly. After all, you never know when an emergency will strike.
