Good lookin' out here Sithis.

I've been doing pre-med for awhile, and these are all the same things I'd say/do for anyone or myself.

Props

Not bad advice, but sinc I am a retired Paramedic and am currently serving as a medic with the DoD, I figured I would comment on cuts.

If you need to control bleeding, use clean cloth, or gauze pads, and hold direct pressure on the wound for 5 to 7 minutes. if bleeding continues you need to apply more dressings, never take dressings off, because if the blood started to clot, you will cause more bleeding. next elevate the wound abover you heart, if the cut is on your forearm or hand you can hold pressure with your good hand, then keep your wounded hand or arm over your head., if bleeding does not stop, call 911, but always see a Doc is the wound is bad and deep.

for swelling, apply ice to the wound, but wrap it in some cloth or towel, and apply ice for 15 minutes on or off, elevate the limb above the heart. If the injury is in a joint seek medical help, because you always suspect a fracture. Since we do not have home x-ray equipment, we have no way of knowing, and second get medical advice instead of reading about things online or listening to friends, when in doubt, see a Doc. Most times your gut will tell you if you are badly injured, so listen to your gut.

For a knocked out tooth, if knocked out wrap it up, go home and place it in whole milk, and see a dentist, right away. do not try and put it back in because you may damage the nerves, if loose go to the dentist and do not play with it.

Always see a Doc if you feel the need too, and you are smart for doing it, too many people have the tough guy attitude, and it bites them in the end.

Thank you much. My friends and I are taking first steps into the fighting business, and the tips on headshots really helped. I'll admit it, at first I was a real pussy, but after I almost got my jaw offset, I don't really care much now. Thanks man!
