WHAT TO DO

Step 1

Keep calm and reassure the casualty. Help her find and use her inhaler (it is usually blue or white); use a spacer device if she has one. The inhaler should take effect within minutes.

Step 2
ENCOURAGE SLOW BREATHS
Help the casualty into a comfortable breathing position; sitting slightly forward is best. Tell her to breathe slowly and deeply.
A mild attack should ease within a few minutes. If it does not, ask the casualty to take another dose from her inhaler.

Step 3
CALL FOR EMERGENCY HELP
Locate and call in the nearest hospital to you for emergency help (using Emraid Finder) if the inhaler has no effect, breathlessness makes talking difficult, or the casualty is becoming exhausted.

■ Do not leave the casualty
alone because the attack
may quickly worsen.
■ If this is a first attack and she
has no medication, Locate and call in the nearest hospital to you for emergency help immediately (using Emraid Finder).

INTRODUCTION

PATIENT: Doctor I've been hearing of "sexually transmitted diseases" for a while now but I don't seem to have a good grasp of what it actually entails.

DOCTOR: Sexually Transmitted Diseases are simply those diseases that are transmitted through sexual intercourse from an infected person to his or her partner.

PATIENT: But I used to think that it is caused by using public toilets too often because ladies usually refer to it as "TOILET DISEASES"

DOCTOR: Very rarely, almost NEVER. In fact the term "Toilet Disease" does not exist in the medical world. Though can be transmitted through other means but not toilet. Let me explain what you should know to you.
