Frostbite happens when skin and tissue freeze 🥶, usually on fingertips, nose, cheeks, or feet. If you see white, frozen skin, don't rub it ❌. Instead, apply passive warming by covering the area with something warm. Rubbing causes more damage.

Rewarming takes 20 to 30 minutes and may hurt, but it's the safest approach. Prevention is key: dress warmly 🧥 and cover exposed skin. 🧤 Be a Willing Bystander who knows what to do! 💪

Eye Injury First Aid: 👁️ The ONE Thing You Should NEVER Do!

Rubbing or pushing on a damaged eye can cause the fluid inside to leak, collapsing the eyeball and leading to blindness. Instead: cover it with a cup to prevent touching, leave any objects in place, and get to a hospital immediately.

Today, we celebrate November 11th - Remembrance Day to reflect on the brave soldiers and citizens who fought and died for Canada, America, United Kingdom and our allies against the N**i Regime to stop their murderous and self-serving agendas.

We must also remember the other wars and conflicts that Canadians continue to fight in to protect honest people and provide humanitarian aid.

Please take the time to remember and think about this most important day!

Sprain or Fracture? You Actually Can't Tell.

Pain. Swelling. Bruising. Can't move it. Sound familiar? That's because strains, sprains, and fractures all look the same.

Stop guessing and start helping—immobilize, rest, ice. Only an X-ray knows for sure. Your job? Care, not diagnosis.
