— he couldn't remember how long it had been since he'd taught anything medical. the last time he had instructed anyone on medical procedure had been edmund, telling him how to wrap his broken leg and get it taken care of. the leg was healing along nicely. mickey was expecting a full recovery - and, really, he liked to think that he had edmund more to thank for that than his careful instructions.

he wouldn't be going that into depth for this basic training, though. he had found a decent-sized building with enough space for a group to sort of filter into. he leaned back against a table, hands gently gripping the edge of the table surface. eyes scanned around the group. "okay. i think we can start," he breathed, pushing himself up away from the table.

"so this will mostly be the basics of first aid. even for minor injuries, immediate care can make a big difference in someone's outcome and recovery." he nodded to himself before looking around the group. "really, this can go wherever you guys want it to. we can talk about first aids for cuts, cardiac arrest, burns.. it's up to you." he swept his gaze around, waiting for feedback.

//ya yeet this post sucks but whatever

[GREENIE.]

    Green wasn't really much of an expert when it came to first aid, but he knew with certainty that Mickey was. Coming from Flintlock Lodge as a medic, Mickey was one of the few people Green could trust in helping the sick and injured here if the situation would ever arise. Plus, it was always helpful in being taught first aid - Green never knew if or when he'd ever have to perform these procedures on anyone. Or, on himself.

He stood off to the side in the room, arms folded comfortably across his torso as he peered over at Mickey, chewing mindlessly on his lip in silent contemplation. Finally, he began to talk, Green lowering his gaze to his shoes as his listened carefully to Mickey's words, before finally replying, ❝ How about we start with cuts and burns? ❞ He suggested. Those appeared to be the most common problems Green had come across around here. Accidents. Attacks. He'd seen enough injuries like cuts, bruises and burns in his lifetime.

— cuts and burns. his gaze swept over the group that’d formed, watching them as they nodded in agreement. he subtly nodded to himself in return before turning back to the table, to his med bag full of most all of the basics. he rummaged through it for a moment as he said, “the most important part about treating cuts is to try and keep as much blood from leaving as possible.” he turned towards the group after taking out a few rolls of gauze. “the first thing you should do is apply pressure directly to the cut or wound, usually with cloth or gauze.”

walking through the group, he handed the rolls to some of the participants. “once the bleeding has stopped, you can then take off the cloth or gauze. clean the wound with water. and then dress it.” he made his way back to the front of the group, saving one roll of gauze for himself. he gestured for an npc to step up with him before holding out the person's arm. “after you’ve cleaned the wound, you can wrap it like so…” he trailed off, concentrated on wrapping the gauze around a small section of the man’s arm. “don’t wrap too tightly, else it’ll cut off circulation.” after wrapping it around the “wounded” area twice, he then stepped back and gestured towards the group. “it’s easy enough. if everyone could pair up, and get a feel for what dressing the wound is like..”

he glanced around the group and watched as everyone paired up.

— mateo sat down by green, flashing a smile the man’s way before trying to focus on the purpose of this meeting. he tried not to sneer or look at mick like he was his least favorite person on this planet - even if, given, mickey currently was. ever since that moment the medic had told him off about what he’d done to tara… he wasn’t even able to confide in green about the encounter, else he’d have to explain himself. that would’ve only made him look bad, so, instead, he could only keep his mouth shut and hate the medic from a distance.

he watched as he wrapped the gauze around the man’s arm, trying to find something to scrutinize him for - yet mateo for the life of him couldn’t find anything. damn. when told to partner up, though, he saw his chance to at least converse with green. he turned towards his friend, sending a smile his way. “hey, want to be partners?” he wasn’t the worst at this basic sort of stuff, from having to learn to patch himself up sometimes - really, green wasn’t stuck with the worst partner to “patch” him up.

[GREENIE.]

    Green listened carefully as Mickey began the first aid training. All right, so try to stop the blood from leaving the body. That was easy enough to remember, Green guessed. Stop the bleeding, clean the wound then dress the wound. Three simple steps. But then, Mickey suggested people actually practice wrapping a wound. Maybe Green came across as confident enough to get the job done, but he wildly underestimated the dexterity needed to hold the bandage whilst also wrapping it.

Eyes shifted to Mateo as he smiled, suggesting that they be partners. ❝ Sure! ❞ He agreed complacently, cracking a smile over towards Mick as he grabbed himself a bandage from him before wandering back over to Mateo. ❝ All right, so who's saving who? ❞ He kidded lightly, a spark of amusement in his eyes as he held the roll of bandage out between them.

— green came back with a roll of bandages, mateo smiling as he took it from him. “i’ve got you,” he said then, waving the roll with amused confidence. “here, give me your hand,” he said, then, gently taking green’s forearm in one hand for a moment. once it was where he wanted it to be, he then began wrapping the man’s hand with careful, practiced ease. he never had to patch someone besides himself up, before. however, he made it seem like he’d done it his whole life.

“you’ll be ready to box with these wraps when we’re done,” he joked, then, flashing a smile up towards green before looking back down at green’s hand. while mateo’s hands were ragged and worn, scars serving as gentle reminders of a world before northstar district, green’s hands looked so.. untouched, undamaged from such a cruel life. hopefully things stayed like that for the young man.

[GREENIE.]

    A heedless breath of amusement passed Green's lips as he watched Mateo wave the roll of bandages. Well, at least someone knew what they were doing. Green held his arm out for Mateo to practice on, eyes watching with curiosity as Mateo wrapped his hand up. ❝ What are you even doing at this session? ❞ He questioned with a chuckle, adding playfully, ❝ You totally know how to patch somebody up already. Look at this- ❞ He gestured at Mateo's neat work at the bandaging with a laugh.

At Mateo's joking, Green huffed gently before retorting lightly, ❝ Yeah, I look like quite the fighter. ❞ He kidded, holding his fists up in feign defense before lowering his hands again. ❝ Let me try on you. ❞ He unraveled the bandage again, trying his best to roll up into a messy roll. As he began to practice on Mateo, Green was quick to realize that he wasn't cut out to do any of this first aid stuff. It was going to take Green a lot of practicing to get as remotely good as Mickey or Mateo was at this.

— “that’s all i really know,” he chuckled, “everything else is a medical mystery to me.” at least he was being honest. he watched as green held his fists up in feign defense, an amused smile on his lips as he jokingly swatted at the man’s bandaged hand. “you sure do. don’t go around starting something, now. i can’t bandage you up every time,” he joked with a lighthearted huff.

then, it was green’s turn to start wrapping the bandage. ”practice makes perfect,” he chimed in as some sort of effort to make green feel a bit better that his wrapping was - sub-par to say the least. at least the man was trying; you never knew when this sort of thing would come in handy. “you’ll get good at it in no time.”

— mick glanced around the group, watching as some people really got the hang of it - and as some people didn’t quite get it yet. still, at least they knew the basics; that was all that mattered. “right. is everyone done?” eyes wandered around the group, leaning back against the desk for a moment. “we can go on to burns next.” burns were fairly simple, he liked to think. at least the first aid part.

“before you treat a burn, you should see how severe it is. if it’s only a minor burn, i’d recommend the first thing to do is to run water over the burn. don’t use water that’s too hot or too cold, only a little cool. don’t use ice, either. after that, you can bandage it. i could offer them some pain medications if they’re in pain by the time i get there.” he looked up in thought. “as for major burns… i would recommend you simply cover the bandage as best you can until i get there. don’t run water over the burn. stick with them until help arrives.”

that was the most basic run-through he could give. he glanced around the group. “is there anything else you would like to learn?”
