Hey, So you want to be a medic? Or Roleplay a medic? That's not that hard but people get spooked by the technical side of it and need the A B Cs.
So if you feel like making a character who has a medical background this is the guide for YOU, I'll detail the bare minimum, so you can pretend to be a medic with a bit of realism, I'll go over common wounds you'll see and tell you what you should be doing, BIG NOTE: I am NOT a medical professional, this is not a guide how to do ANY sort of treatment in your real life, this is a guide on how you can roleplay a medic.
So let start
1. Stunbaton related wounds
I've seen 100s of these, and rp'd treating every single one, It's not exciting at all, and usually not that hard, Lets see what damage getting hit would do to do
Well the hit would cause bruising due to blunt force trauma, if the baton is turned off you'll slap a ice pack on the bad boy and usually they'll just have to sleep off the beating.
If it was on, then we got a burn on our hands, now burns take a bit of time before they blister, so the impact wouldn't pop it, it is important that you dont pop it, use some ointment and bandage loosely, allow air to get to the wound and let them sleep it off
Now if they were hit in the head, now this could cause a concussion, usually you give them oral pain killers like ibuprofen, but not aspirin, which could cause swelling in the wound. ice pack to the affected area and rest, but no sleeping just after a concussion.
2. Lacerations (Cuts, ohhhh noo)
Cuts can bit a bit tricky but depending on the area it can be easy to hard, on the low end you would stick a plaster on it
So how do you know what applies? The amount of blood loss, if they nicked a artery they'll be a hose of blood, most if not all major arteries are located on the limps so, just get a belt or a tourniquet if you have the means and tie it tight above the affected area, high enough just incase they get cut again. Then you apply pressure and allow the blood to stem and then bandage it tight if you can't cauterize it
If you can stitch it up, you should be using a suture needle and thread, rather simple and you would rp it as you would think.
3. (Vald the) Impaled
HOLY SHIT, he has a big piece of rebar in his leg, some dick with a crossbow got him.
But seriously, this could be anything, sharp objects are bad, if you get stabbed you would really want it out but that's not the best move, if you are not near any hospital or clinic you are better off having it in you, think of it as a plug, that's keeping most of the blood in. So tourniquet up, if they got impaled through the side, you need to be careful due to many vital organs near by (Kidneys, Liver, Stomach.) If you aren't sure, tear a hole in a bandage and wrap it around to apply pressure.
I'll leave the rest, surgery is more advanced.
4. Dislocation fracture
Joints are weak, enough pressure and it'll pop out, most people dislocate their knees and shoulders. rp about feeling around the wound, figuring out where the joint should be and just push it back, it'll hurt but after that you sling or splint it up and get them to... you guessed it, a hospital.
5.CPR
So a guy is on the floor, you check his vitals and he has no heart beat, no breathing, so you lay him flat, tilt his head up and start cpr, you beat to the rhythm of "Stayin' Alive." 12 reps before 2 breaths, when giving them the kiss of life tilt their head back and pinch their nose. then go back to the beat. if you do this three times and nothing changes, you're best off calling it quits.
6. End for now???
Hope you liked the read, and can pretend to be a medic better, but the best resource is google, read up on this stuff, have fifty tabs looking for the right thing, but it's nice to have it all in one place.
I might expand and do some more but for now, I'll just give the surface level.
Thanks, bye.
