[quote=Anonymous]Complete aside - the responses are fine by the way - but I cannot emphasize enough that kids in high school need to learn basic first aid and excessive drinking/drug use responses.  They and their friends can be fine, but they can be somewhere and see something, and can really be a huge help.

Last night our kid was at a party and a drunk guy punched a window badly cutting his arm.   911 called of course - exactly the type of situation where no one gets in trouble because we very much want kids to call 911.  A big deep cut on the arm - he grabbed pillow cases to staunch blood flow, and concluded pretty quickly he had to tie a tourniquet - for the first time since Boy Scout first aid.  EMS and Police afterword were impressed (he hadn’t been drinking so easier to be impressed with a kid who did basic first aid.).  We found out today - Kid was stabilized then transferred to a city hospital with a night surgical team to sew him up, but will eventually be okay save for a huge scar.  Apparently it is true that if you get shot or stabbed (or very badly cut) you want to go to a city hospital where they are used to dealing with the trauma and have staffing for it 24 hours.
