    Track and trace ID

    Wow…. I actually had to look that up, I thought you were swearing at me in Spanish or something. Now that is a very interesting species with a really cool story too.

    So close… Final clue (which I only found out retrosptively), we were not far from the village of Oundle and Ashton hall.

    I thought it was pretty straightforward so I didn’t add anything for scale. It’s arable farm land if that helps. :-)

    Seeding mistletoe

    Interesting! Are they sold as living plants or seeds or already dried and just for decoration etc?

    Medical scenarios

    Prime example just written here. Perfect! (I’m not picking on you Laurentius, sorry) Unfortunately rescue breaths were never “out” and have always been taught. The confusion came about because incidents occurred where people failed to do any CPR due to the fact they were too uncomfortable to...

    Medical scenarios

    I totally agree. Someone doing their best but getting it wrong is I think the essence of the Good Samaritan act. And it’s great that that is recognised and there are laws protecting individuals. As for arterial blood flow, that would be covered on any first aid course. It’s one of the main...

    Medical scenarios

    You’re not wrong but I would argue that the framework that the course is based around should give you all the tools you would need for any eventuality. Provided you work within the remit of the course, and the standard that you are assessed to of course. And if you work outside of that then a...

    Medical scenarios

    I believe the Good Samaritan act covers any trained medical professional which includes first aiders. Maybe just the providers I have gone to recently, they seem to be making more of a point of it now than I can remember.

    Medical scenarios

    Not to my knowledge but it is something that gets mentioned on first aid courses and is becoming a growing concern particularly in the outdoor industry.

    Medical scenarios

    Sorry, I’m not entirely convinced this is a good idea… I think if people want to learn medical protocols the best thing they can do is go through a registered training provider and attend a real life course. Even though you mention qualified personnel, if someone ends up in the worst thinkable...

    I shouldn’t have to add… Yes, it’s obviously a cervinae. But what kind?!

    Ok a little pop quiz then… I spotted these whilst out walking in Peterborough yesterday. Just a little fun for people to guess who left this behind! :-)

    Seeding mistletoe

    Very cool. It’s a plant I seldom see these days tbh. Not sure whether geographical location has anything to do with that but it would be great to spread it around like this!

    Blood Transfusions

    So a potassium drip and plenty of Guinness should see you right?

    Blood Transfusions

    IIRC the earliest examples of direct blood transfusions were from the napoleonic war. I remember seeing paintings in which the donor was placed in an elevated position in order to increase blood pressure. Of course remembering that if someone is in need of transfusion then their blood pressure...
