Sexy Friday – 20240719

TGIF! After last week’s post my algorithm has been feeding me lots of bamboo information. Didn’t realize BIG BAMBOO had such an active marketing department. Anyway, sports are back! The Open, Tour De France, and baseball. Ok, well kind of back.

Survival – Personal Edition

Speaking of The Open, let’s say you and your mates just watched a round, and are heading home. So you and the lads decide to pop into the pub for a couple of pints. Then you decide to throw darts. Invariably, someone stumbles, someone has an errant throw, someone isn’t paying attention to their whereabouts, but at any rate one of the lads now has a dart injury. Let’s get it treated!

• If the dart is embedded in the head, chest, neck or back, act fast. First, call WCS to get an ambulance on the way if you can’t get transport the lad yourselves. Second, rinse a clean towel in cold water, wring it out, then wrap it around the base of the dart to stabilize it and prevent further injury.
• If the dart hit anywhere else, let’s treat it ourselves. First, if the dart is still embedded, pull it out in one quick motion. If not embedded, find out where it hit. Also, place that dart in a safe location for now and we’ll get to it later.
• Sit the lad down and then examine the wound. Determine if blood is spurting from the wound (bad) or not (fine).
• For the spurters, apply a clean cloth to the wound. Elevate the wound above the lad’s heart and apply pressure to the wound for at least five (5) minutes. If still spurting, repeat with a clean cloth for 15 minutes. If still spurting, repeat with another clean cloth for 30 minutes. If still spurting, see the first bullet point.
• The wound should now be only seeping blood at worst. Rinse the wound under cold water, then cover with a sterile bandage or pad or dressing. Advise your lad to get a tetanus booster if they haven’t had one in a decade or can’t remember their last one.
• Now let’s tend to that poor innocent dart. Rinse clean under hot water, then sterilize with rubbing alcohol.

Your lad is now on the road to recovery. Also, you’ll have to break the bad news his night of dart playing is over and really he should stay on the other side of the pub or head home for safety. Also, the dart is ready to re-enter play.
