As Tina says.....you don't go into this without some kind of knowledge of what you're doing and preparing yourself for the worst.
My husband thinks I'm nuts when he sees the meds coming in; Plasma, Dextrose, Dopram, antibiotics, antihistamines. Wait till he sees my next order, I'm ordering that Oxygen Tent. But, I'd rather be over prepared and not have to use anything, than not have it there if I need it. |
Kind of reminds me of what I've been told about pilot training, learning to fly the plane is easy; it's learning what to do in all the emergency situations that makes flight training difficult.
