Title: Re: First Aid Kit Checklist
Post by mastertangler on Jun 7th, 2010 at 12:09am
I think I might start slowing down a bit on the trails. I move along quick if it's flat ground.......... rocks, boulders, muck whatever.

What caught my attention was another parent at my kids ball game. She works at a hospital and asked me if I had heard about the woman dying (an unusual event in our small town). Come to find out the lady falls getting out of her car and fractures an ankle. A blood clot then moves from her leg to her lung (I think) and she dies. She was in her 30's. The nurse told me that such things happen more often than you might think.

Yea, I know it's kinda morbid. When you hear something like that though it does make you stop and think. My partners say I fly. Seems like my regular pace to me. But that may be my pace from a long, long time ago. It might be time to back off just a bit. I mean, I don't feel like I'm rushing or anything but maybe just a tad slower might be smart start to "preventive" first aid.

Hmmm......Preventive first aid :question Sounds fishy to me.  :-?
