Bulan Sabit Merah Malaysia

Third Entry-- Addicted to BSMM by Hannah Teh Kiao Huoi

Hi, everyone. Today I wouldl like to talk about a topic which is totally not related to law course, which is Bulan Sabit Merah Malaysia. I am not a member of BSMM during my primary school and secondary school as well. Unfortunately, I forced to choose BSMM as my Ko-K activity as there is no any vacancy in other activities already, especially Persatuan Pelajar.

I thought it will be a nightmare for me to join BSMM because there is so many senoir told me that it is very tough to score in BSMM compare to other activities, like persatuan Pelajar and Khimat Masyarakat. What I can do? I have choose already..

At first, i really hate to attend the lecture. I even sleep during the lecture class but after i join my college's BSMM, i start felt interested with it already. I start fall in love with it.This is because we can gain alot of knowlegde in bandaging and the way to handle a real case.

After attend the several Wednesday duty slot in my college's BSMM. I found that there is 37 kind of bandaging we have to know. We have to learn how to bandage the parts of the body from head to toes . In order to do and complete this kind of bandaging nicely, we really need to be patient and co-operation with others members as there is some bandage is needed more than one people. Beside that, we are advise to practise by ourself because there will be a mini PPC(Pertandingan Pertolongan Cemas) for the coming October. So, my friends will become the casualty for me.. Haha..

Then, lets talk about the way to handle the cases. There is 3 casualties in a case. 5 people will form a group as the 1st aider to help them. 1 will be the leader, 1 have to do the Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),which is an emergency medical procedure for a victim of cardiac arrest or, in some circumstances, respiratory arrest. There third 1st aider have to call ambulance whereas the 4th one have to do the bandage.The fifth or the last 1st aider will handle the casualty who is under hysteria after the accident. So, we need to know about our own responsibility very well in order to complete the task. It required all members co-operative. I think it is a very challenging activity for me as I am the one who easy to get nervous. I hope this kind of activity can overcome my this problem...

After gone through all this activities, I started addicted to BSMM already.. I like BSMM..NO!! I SHOULD SAID: BULAN SABIT MERAH MELAYSIA, I LOVE YOU...
