How to handle injury, illness, and contamination when a clinic is not an option

Injury, illness, meds, and radiation or chemical body care. 339 article titles. This is educational field copy, not a First Aid certification. Protocols stay in the app.

§ 01

The direct answer

Field Care is the medical pile that used to sit inside Kits. Sprains, airways, radiation injury, and decontamination after chemical exposure. It is not a licence to practice medicine and it is not branded First Aid on purpose.

Stop the bleed you can see. Open an airway you can keep. Do not close a dirty wound. Potassium iodide is for radioactive iodine, not for every explosion. Time, distance, and shielding still beat a fancy kit if fallout is in the air.

339 titles sit behind this hub. The sequences, dose tables, and warnings stay in the offline library.

Order of work — what actually changes the outcome

If you only remember three things: visible bleed, airway, and do not seal infection in.

Bleed
Direct pressure, then a tourniquet on a limb you cannot pack. Minutes matter.
Airway
Chin lift or jaw thrust. Keep it open. Talking is a good sign.
Wound
Clean and leave dirty wounds open. Closing infection inside is how sepsis starts.
Fallout
Time, distance, shielding. Strip outer clothes. KI is thyroid-specific.
Decon
Get it off the skin and gear. Water and soap beat folklore.
