A first-aid kit consists of items used to treat injuries and illnesses, and typically includes bandages, absorbent cotton, gauze, medical tape, antimicrobial substances, aspirin, and anything that might be needed for specific medical conditions of family members, employees, students, passengers, or other persons. First aid kits, including lists of contents and instruction booklets or foldouts for treating common ailments, are recommended for placement in homes, businesses, jobsites, schools, vehicles, and hiking or camping backpacks. Any items with expiration dates will need to be replaced regularly. For lists of items to include in First Aid Kits, visit https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies/anatomy-of-a-first-aid-kit.html.

First-aid training provides people with knowledge and mock practice in methods used to recognize, assess, and treat emergency medical and other conditions on the spot. The training typically covers how to respond to people who are choking or asphyxiating from blocked breathing passages, are found unconscious, have broken bones, bleeding wounds, seizures, or symptoms of shock or dehydration. Some advanced training courses include techniques used in treating severe allergic reactions, childbirth, determining if a person can be transported for medical care, and responding to people who are acting erratically. Among the first steps in first-aid care is contacting first responders or emergency services providers such as police, fire, rescue, and ambulance, or sending any available person to seek such assistance, while another person remains at the location with the person who is need of care.

Are some people ‘accident prone’? Possibly they are, or maybe they need to be made aware of safety measures and accident prevention. However, it is also worth looking into the conditions and surroundings in which people find themselves. Steps can be taken to make accidents less likely, such as keeping places clean of debris and making sure surfaces on which people walk are not slippery. Tools and machines should be unplugged and put away when not in use. All equipment should be maintained and kept in good working order. People who work with tools, equipment, supplies, vehicles, and so forth, should be trained on how to use them, how to maintain them, and what to do in the event of accidents, because truth be told, all humans and even our animal friends are to some extent ‘accident prone.’

“Accident, noun: An inevitable occurrence due to the action of immutable natural laws.” -Ambrose Bierce (Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842 - 1914)): “The Cynic's Dictionary” (1906); later republished as “The Devil's Dictionary” (1911)
Dystychiphobia is a persistent fear that accidents will occur or that one might be the cause of accidents. Persons with this phobia may fear harming themselves or others or property. Dystychiphobia could be one reason some people are afraid of flying in airplanes and driving automobiles. However, it should be noted that it doesn’t necessarily apply to skiing, because if you go skiing, no matter who you are, you are definitely going to have an accident - we’re kidding - you should go skiing!

A little old lady who lived on the third floor of a boardinghouse broke her leg. As the doctor put the cast on it, he warned her not to climb any stairs. Several months later, the doctor took off the cast. “Can I climb stairs now?” asked the little old lady. “Yes,” the doctor replied. “Thank goodness!” she said. “I’m sick and tired of shinnying up and down that drain pipe.”
