Head Trauma

Every boat, mariner, or out of the way traveler, should have a Glasgow Coma Scale available. This is a small card that helps you assess head trauma, as well as other causes of unresponsiveness. Some areas that you can make a rapid evaluation of include consciousness level, verbal and motor responses, and pertinent eye findings. A lower score is indicative of a worse head injury. For example, A score less than, or equal to 8 is very severe and a score of 12 or better is associated with a mild head injury, typically not requiring treatment, or a 600 mile diversion to the nearest witch doctor. All of the information for an accurate evaluation of head trauma is printed clearly on the card.

Of course, your first task with most trauma is evaluating the ABC's i.e. airway, breathing, and circulation. In my opinion, no one should consider a remote journey without knowing CPR. It is very easy to learn even for the lay person. There are other important things to note.

During the above assessments, it is important to note the approximate time and length of the loss of consciousness, and to observe for any seizure activity which is typically obvious. Note: seizures originate in the brain and can be serious, but do not loose your cool. All you have to remember about a seizure is to make sure the person is in a safe place like on the deck or dock, that they are breathing, and if breathing stops for longer than 1-2 minutes, you need to get medical help. There is no possibility of someone swallowing their tongue, and you do not have to touch the tongue with a stick, your finger, or anything else. Watch the breathing only in a seizure, first aid situation! The real point of all of this is triage i.e. being able to assess, and prioritize, and hopefully perform some initial steps.

By being able to do a valid assessment, you not only can feel confident in observing minor head injuries, but can relay your information to authorities, and help them determine exactly what kind of situation they face, and the urgency.

Later we will cover the evaluation, and first aid for more serious head injuries, such as subdural and epidural bleeds, brainstem injuries, and spinal injuries.

Head Trauma in the Philippines

I had been at sea for what seemed like an eternity, and was feeling rather world-weary. For six days I was in the fetch of a southern typhoon with undulating, backing and veering winds; then I faced eight days of flat blue seas, long rolling swells, and of 8-9 knot winds. My boredom was intensifying, and I was becoming more irate with the light wind. I had tired of singing, and talking to myself days ago.

I thought that making faces in the mirror might be fun, all the while interrogating, and cross-examining myself for signs of impending insanity. What are those, you may ask. All I can say is... if you cannot make a face at all, you may need to get the sailor's best friend out of the First Aid kit. Right behind the sea-sickness pills you will find the bottle labeled, "anti-psychotic medication". I was ready for landfall.

I spotted the beautiful, mist covered peaks of Luzon, Philippines long before the Coast Guard cutter approached me. There had apparently been militant activity in the area, they wanted to see my papers. Their other concerns were if I had a yellow quarantine flag to fly until cleared, and if I needed anti-psychotic medication. I assured them that I had both. They told me I could continue.

I made landfall, sailing past Grande Island and entering Subic Yacht Club. In many ways it was like being home again. My last visit, several years prior, was on a vessel slightly larger than my 60 foot ketch, called the carrier, U.S.S. Enterprise. Ah... Subic!

The smells were the same. The aroma of wood smoke, open grills of sizzling chicken and pork, and incense filled the air. The busy sounds of the nearby town of Olongapo City made the heart race faster as excitement was in the atmosphere.

The only thing missing, as I should have predicted, due to the prevailing winds, was the smell of the nearby, feces thickened sludge that some call the river. As young sailors we used to throw coins in the slush from the bridge, and watch the little divers plunge in after them. The kids were very appreciative, and displayed perfect white teeth when they smiled, that is, once they spit out the bits of the corn and paper. You might say... "Oh, how insensitive to the children, making them swim in brown waters to collect money!"

Actually, these are your forthcoming doctors, lawyers, and politicians. The future criminals are similar 8 and 9 year olds who dress nicely, but approach in groups of six, and start poking you with their fingers. "Take my picture, we love Americanos!" "Hey GI Joe!" they say... , prior to disappearing around the corner. You soon realize that your pockets are inside out; you have no money, watch, artificial prosthesis, feminine hygiene product, or any other worldly goods.

As I said, it was good to be back, and the poor children are not representative of the many kindly adults. I felt like smiling, singing, and skipping all the way to town. Just what every pick-pocket, thief, and con artist within a hundred miles wants to see, or hear about; Therefore, I put on my salty sea captain face, squared my shoulders, and walked observing everything occurring around me.

I had just stepped upon the feces river bridge when I noticed all of the youngsters on the southern bank. Yes, the smell was there just as the adolescents that I remembered. I reached in my pocket, pulled out a quarter, and flipped it to mid-stream until I could hear the... thump. The sound reminded me of a plunger hitting a dirty toilet bowl.

Seven youngsters were in full flight over the water until thump, thump, thump... , all had plunged deeply to retrieve the prize. The winner surfaced with his bounty. The world was delightful to all on this day. Smiles were on every face. The next coin toss was eagerly anticipated, as eyes were cleared, and water was squeegeed off the belly and arms.

Up high into the air the coin went... and then the, thump! All soared in at once, and the winner emerged to the cheers of the now abundant onlookers. Wait... there were seven, and now only six! I looked to the other side of the bridge seeing the one that I had nicknamed Peewee, floating unconsciously downstream.

I called for the attention of the other youths in my best Tagalog and Espanol. Ayunda!, Ayunda!, all the while pointing at Peewee. No response... I quickly grabbed three quarters out of my pocket, displayed them in the air, and tossed them way... beyond Peewee. Soon the ducks were in the water and an unconscious Peewee was on shore.

Peewee had an obvious gash on his right forehead. I suspected he hit it on the bridge abutment. He was unresponsive to my yelling, and did move when I knuckled his chest i.e. a sternal rub. His pupils were equal and reactive; breathing was regular, as was his heart rate. I detected no other trauma. Within 1 minute he woke up and joined the other kids, draining more tourists of their change.

Home Health Care vs Assisted Living

Home health care is health care that is provided to patients inside their home, and usually by either health care professionals or family and friends. The term "home care" suggests that the care provided is non-medical and more of a custodial nature, whereas "home health care" may suggest licensed staff members. The differences here are similar to the differences between assisted living facilities and nursing homes. Much like assisted living facilities, home health care lets seniors enjoy a good measure of independence. An elderly individual or couple will appreciate having privacy as well as assistance in daily living needs.

What Home Health Care Provides

What kind of services does home health care provide? Home health care may help seniors with daily living needs such as bathing, dressing, house keeping and cooking and dining preparation. Depending on the needs of the resident, there may be special provisions such as transportation services and errands, volunteer programs, exercise and walking, and toileting assistance. More extensive forms of home health care would also provide rehabilitation programs, including visits from physical therapists and nurses. Other qualified home health care professionals may include respiratory nurses, occupational nurses, social workers, mental health workers and physicians.

Who pays for home health care? This type of outside assisted living program can be paid by private resources from the resident or family, by public payers such as Medicare and Medicaid or by employer-sponsored health insurance plans. Medicare will usually not pay for home health care on a long term basis while Medicaid is more likely to help low-income families with little or no assets. Employer-sponsored home health care is likely to be on a short term basis unless the insurance plan is very generous. Most of the time home health care will be paid for by a family's own resources.

Comparing Home Health Care with Assisted Living

How does home health care compare with in-house stays at nursing homes and assisted living facilities? Most seniors would prefer home health care, of course, as people always do value their privacy. However, there are also circumstances that would necessitate constant supervision of the resident at an assisted living facility, and not only occasional visits. Home health care is basically assisted living, but with even more independence. Therefore a resident that cannot be left alone for long periods of time would be better suited in a nursing or board and care type home.

It might appear that home health care would be cheaper than a stay in a nursing home. However, home health care costs can be just as expensive, depending on the number of hours aides work. Some residents have admitted that full time home health care usually costs twice as much as a stay in a board and care or assisted living home. Most home health care agencies will charge about $20.00 an hour or over. If the resident is relatively independent then the fees associated with the service can be controlled. However, don't forget that if your needs are minimal to begin with, you could hire a trusted individual to perform the same tasks and save money from paying an agency fee.

Home health care is ideal for seniors who feel well and can easily get around but who need occasional doctor visits and help with housekeeping. It is also a preferable choice if a senior needs full time care but does not want to become a resident in a public nursing home. Full time home health care provides the most privacy and personal attention possible. If you are looking for this type of senior assistance, you should always be mindful of the qualifications of workers, as opening one's home to a stranger could always be a security risk. The best home health care agencies have screened workers who are well qualified in their field.

Be an EMT or Paramedic in a Medical Uniform

If you are looking for a rewarding and challenging career in which people's lives depend upon your skill and knowledge, than think about becoming an emergency medical technician or paramedic in a medical scrub. EMT's and paramedics are often dispatched by 911 operators as part of the team responding to an emergency. They work closely with police and firefighter personnel and often find themselves treating victims of accidents, shootings, drownings, heart attacks, and other situations requiring immediate medical attention. Besides the excitement and challenge, it is expected that the demand for EMT's and paramedics will increase much faster than the average in the coming decade, so there will always be a high demand for trained and experienced EMT / paramedics, particularly by hospitals and ambulance services.

Upon arriving at the scene, the first thing EMT's must do is assess the conditions of the patients in order to determine the extent and cause of the illness or injuries. Then, the EMT's provide immediate medical care and transport the patients to the hospital in an ambulance. En route EMT's maintain a close contact with emergency room physicians, who issue them step-by-step instructions while they relay back assessment results from their medical monitors. EMT's are trained in a variety of medical procedures including the treatment of burns, asphyxiation, arterial bleeding, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, and of course childbirth. Some EMT jobs in a medical uniform involve being a pilot or other part of the medical flight team which helicopters seriously injured or ill patients to trauma centers. EMT's are also charged with the mundane duties of cleaning and restocking the ambulance after each use.

Becoming an EMT or paramedic requires certification after a period of formal training. Entering an EMT / Paramedic program requires a high school diploma, and these programs are usually two-year courses leading to an associate degree. However, the type and length of training required for certification varies from state to state, and can be anywhere from thirty to three hundred hours in length. After completing the training and taking the NREMT certifying exam, the graduate is certified by the state and ready to go to work. EMT's in both women's and mens scrubs with advanced certification will reap the greatest opportunities, particular in urban areas (in rural areas and small towns volunteer EMT's and firemen are the rule). To obtain employment with a city government requires U.S. citizenship as well as passing a background check. The Bureau of Labor Statistics considers that the outlook for EMT / paramedic jobs excellent since health care jobs continue to grow even when the economy is down. The demand for EMT / paramedics increases as medical technology advances and more sophisticated life-saving treatments can be given to patients en route to the hospital, which improves their chances of survival.
