Active First Aid Online - Ouch! Insect bites, scrapes, cuts, sprained ankles, nosebleeds, and other injuries are never fun. When these bumps and bruises happen, always check with your physician. If help isn't immediately available, check this site, written by an Australian paramedic. He teaches that remembering the acronym DRABC (danger, response, airway, breathing, and circulation) is the most important consideration when assessing any injury. This is all explained at this site. No online service is a substitute for your doctor, but for minor injuries, this is a good place to remember.
