Everyone knows Murphys Law, and it applies especially to injuries at larps. We all know what happens: a cut in the kitchen, a bent foot, a burn at the fireplace. But how to do good first aid for these injuries? And when do I have to bring my partcipants to the emergency room, and when can I easily treat them at the location? In this workshop you will learn about different levels of burns and how to treat them, how to recognize a fracture and what to do with it and how to treat a wound. I will show some rules of thumb when to go to the emergency room and when not. Additionally I want to introduce what a good extended first aid kit should contain and how to use the materials. This will not make you a medical doctor unfortunately but hopefully will help you in case an injury happens next time far away from civilization.
