‘I’m not a Doctor but I can Help!’ : Anybody Can Give First Aid

by Suman Genevieve Lobo

This book is my attempt to inspire everyone to take the simplest yet most powerful step—saving a life. It is about understanding the essence of first aid, recognizing the impact of small actions, and bringing out the hero in you. I have worked to make first aid as simple as possible, ensuring that everyone from children to adults can confidently respond in an emergency. br To help you retain what you learn, I have piece together this book with stories, illustrations, and real-life experiences some my own, some from others. I have also included carefully selected YouTube links to clarify key concepts and enhance your learning. My goal is simple: by the time you finish this book, you will know exactly what to do whether at home, at work, or in public when a medical emergency arises. Before stepping into various first-aid scenarios, here is a kind reminder: prevention is better than cure. Most emergencies can be avoided with a little attention following traffic rules to prevent accidents, handling sharp objects with care to avoid cuts, and respecting heat and electricity to prevent burns and shocks. We all know this,yet we often ignore it. That is why this book does not just focus on first aid but also on preventive measures, offering a guiding hand toward caution before a crisis occurs. As you read, you may find yourself giving an approving tilt of the head perhaps recalling a time when carelessness led to an avoidable accident. Or maybe you will feel a spark of pride, remember
