We all need to take care of our health because having health challenges cause a lot of issues in every other aspect of our lives both financially, academically,

and even in our daily activities. However, although we all strive to keep ourselves in top condition, it's important to understand that accidents outside of our control do happen from time to time. We should focus on how best to control those accidents rather than dwell on past regrets of failing to avoid them.

A first aid kit is popularly known as an emergency kit that is used for treatment in a situation where medical attention might take a long while to get access to. Although a first aid kit does not grant total relief to an accident, it helps to preserve the life of the individual until a much better medical service can be rendered. A bleeding kit has almost the same function as a first aid kit, the major difference is that a bleeding kit is specifically meant for cases of severe blood loss. This type of blood loss may easily lead to death and the items in a first aid kit might not be able to hinder the amount of blood flowing at that time. However, a bleeding kit's items are to stop or slow down such a large amount of blood loss.

Although a bleeding kit is best for blood loss control, a first aid kit is more versatile as it can take care of other health accidents like burns or chemicals getting into sensitive organs like the eyes and so on.

The most important reason why a bleeding kit and a first aid kit should always be kept at hand is to ensure the safety of your own life. In cases of immense danger to health and contact with good medical attention is hindered, a first aid kit or bleeding kit will be your lifesaver.

If chemicals enter sensitive organs, leaving the chemical for a long period due to seeking medical attention might lead to permanent damage to the organ. However, with a first aid kit emergency treatment can be applied before the main medical service is sought out.

Getting stabbed or shot can be very scary as these types of injuries cause blood to flow out so quickly that in a matter of minutes, one starts feeling lightheaded. The blood flow might not even stop after applying pressure on it depending on the severity of the injury. In such a case, a bleeding kit is your best friend. Items that are specifically made to stop the excessive flow of blood can be located and used, thereby ensuring medical attention can be gotten safely.

A bleeding or first aid kit should also be kept to render help to other people including friends, family, and even strangers because every one of us wants to have a chance at life. Try getting your very own bleeding or first aid kit at Sam Medicals.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
