*Assist patient to the furs or if unable to move Tthem, treat where Tthey are, but make sure area is as clean as possible, but don't waste time cleaning when the patient lies in pain waiting
*If you do not know or can not see visably, ask what wounds need tending
*Remove clothing as necessary. cover with soft fur (being careful to protect a Mistresses' modesty
*Offer willow tea for pain or if severe offer kanda (make sure you explain that its sucked and chewed, never swallowed as it can be poisonous) or sprinkle blue grass powder over wound
*Bathe open wounds with antiseptic paga then either stitch if needed or apply salve and cover with bandages if needed
*If blades remain in the wound, use a cloth or pliers from the med kit to pull it free, inspect the wound afterwards for bleeding and fragments. Use the tweezers (after dipping them in paga o
antiseptic) if needed to remove any fragments in the wound.
*Apply pressure to the wound with a rep cloth to slow the bleeding
*Stitch as necessary (making sure each stitch is individually knotted to prevent puckering of the wound)
*If there is bruising or muscle strain. massage with ointment and offer ice pack

Bruising or muscle strain - massage with ointment and offer ice pack
Choking - get behind the patient and reach around with both hands at abdomen, quickly jerk back and up in diaphram. This will force lots of air out and make the patient to cough out stuck object (if not see Tracheotomy)
Bleeding - If there is any active bleeding from torn or cut veins take a cauterizing iron from the Healers Med Kit (kept in the servery) and lay it over the bleeding vessel to sear it shut, if artery is what is bleeding (spurting blood out) then that must be carefully stitched back together first with a fine curved needle and fine gut suture
Stitching - use small fine even stitches try not to pucker the skin (do this by tying off each stitch with a knot to stop the puckering Wounds that require stitching need to be bandaged. Apply a thick layer of clean rep cloth and wrap with rep cloth bandages Change bandages daily
