The Importance of First Aid

First aid is the immediate care given to a person who has been injured or suddenly ill, including self-help and home care if medical help is not available or delayed. First aid knowledge means life or death during an emergency situation, so it is very important for everyone to learn first aid.

General Treatment to Burns

●Move the injured away from the heat.

●Check the breathing as well as the size and depth of burns．

●Wash the burnt area with water to reduce pain.

●Cover the wound with a sterilized （消毒的） dressing.

●For burns on the face, use sheet or something else to cover the burnt area.

To avoid heatstroke, you should stop tiring activities in hot weather. If you still go outdoors, you should:

●wear light loose-fitting(寬松的）clothing;

●rest in a cool place as often as possible;

●drink boiled water or fruit juice;

●avoid drink such as milk, wine and beer.

First Aid training

People performing a first aid role are often expected to have a high level of first aid training and are often uniformed. There are some organizations giving first aid courses recognized by the local government, such as the Red Cross.

Donna Reid had just finished her training as a children’s doctor. A famous research hospital in New York had offered her a job with good pay. And her boyfriend, Tony, had a clinic in their hometown and hoped she could work with him. At the same time, a small hospital, Backwoods Hospital, in a very poor area had also offered Donna a position. Now it was time for her to decide where to work.

Dad: Donna, that research hospital in New York has a good reputation for children’s medicine. Some of the best children’s doctors in the country work there and you can learn a lot from them.

Mom: Yes, I agree it’s a good hospital and the pay is good, too. But, that’s not the point.

Dad: Then what’s the point?

Mom: It’s in New York, too far away! Let me tell you what, dear Donna. Tony’s clinic is just several blocks away. You don’t need to travel far if you work there. Tony is a nice young man and I guess you’ll get married soon.

Dad: Ha! It’s hard enough to live with a husband or wife. Working with them, too? That’s a choice for trouble. Well, Donna, what do you think?

Donna: I’m thinking about accepting the offer from Backwoods Hospital.

Dad: But Donna, look at their offer! You’ll be on call six days a week, 24 hours a day. That’s really a hard job.

Mom: Oh, Donna, the pay is another problem.

Donna: It isn’t a dead-end job, Mom and Dad. But anyway, I didn’t ____________.

Dad: No? Then why did you become a doctor?

Donna: I want to help people. You know that. And Backwoods serves a very poor and needy population. Backwoods, here I come!

A small cloud floats through the air in a hospital operating room. In the room a patient, suffering from cancer, lies on a table. The cloud surrounds(包圍) the patient, covering her body and filling her lungs(肺). The cloud is not smoke or steam. It is made of millions of microscopic robots called nanorobots(納米機器人). These tiny robots move from cell(細胞) to cell in the patient’s body, destroying the cancer.

Fighting cancer with nanorobots is only an idea today, but scientists say that it could be possible in the future. Using nanorobots for good purposes such as fighting disease or repairing the environment may be the solution to many of today’s problems.

However, nanorobots could be a dangerous risk as well. Since nanorobots are so tiny, they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions. For this reason, nanorobots will have to be programmed to build themselves. Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nanorobots one by one.

This ability to reproduce is making some scientists worried. What if something goes wrong in the programming? Quite a lot of crazy nanorobots would be far worse than any disease. Some people think that if they get out of control, nanorobots could destroy the Earth.

What should be done? Should we continue researching nanorobots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future.
