Our training was held from 3.30 to5.30 pm today. We learnt more about hypothermia( however it is spelt) such as the signs and symptoms and treatment. The mainpoint of the treatmentis to keep the casualty warm so you can ask her to change out of her wet clothes, give her a dry towel to wrap around herself( best kind are those which are dull on the outer surfac and reflective on the inner surface), move her to a dry and sheltered place, so on. I think #3 tried her bestwhen she took over me today. Just try to control the case more often and costantly think of new reasurrances and support the casualty. One good thing that you did however was to advice me on what to do next time. well done! i must learn from you also.
