Ready for an emergency?

Driving into town on Langata road and also Uhuru highway there have been for a while billboards advertising Amref flying doctors with one message reading; If your son falls from a tree who would you call? and what would you do if your wife gets into premature labor?. The words are not a direct quote but show the importance of their doctors (Amref) when emergency strikes,that is it shows that they are always ready for you.

So are you ready for a wedding emergency? I have in the past tackled the ones that have had to do with vendors but today I thought I look at one that is essential also. Personal disasters.

What do you need? A first aid kit. A quotation I got from firstaidlongs.com states "Doctors recommends us to have a first aid kit or medical kits. A first aid kit is a collection of supplies and equipment for use in giving first aid. First aid kits may be made up of different contents dependant on purpose. Common contents include items to help stop bleeding, performing CPR, and may contain some medicines."

Why do you need it? Well alot of disasters happen that get many unprepared: a bride who has picked up weight and  the wedding dress gets torn, its too late in the day to get a tailor and she needs to be sewn in it. Therefore a thread and needle will be a welcome addition to the kit. Wearing shoes for the first time blisters might result and a bandage would come in handy. Sprained foot? The list continues.....

As one prepares the kit individualising on whats needed for the day, remember to prepare who to be in charge of it, so that when an accident strikes, it comes in handy to save the situation and contribute to a fun filled wedding day....
