Dear Editor,
A seminar about the “Stop the Bleed” first aid process was held last Saturday at the Cuero Sportsmans Club. Forty local citizens attended and were trained in the techniques to stop deadly bleeding caused by an accident Presenting the seminar was Cole Taylero, EMS technician from Calhoun county. The approximately one hour class ended with attendees practicing the processes and getting kits with the necessary materials to use in an emergency.
David Cheek, club treasurer and coordinator of the event, stated, “It is good to know how to deal with a major bleeding accident with all the people using power tools such as chainsaws and lawn mowers. Additionally the equipment used in construction and on the farm present chances for serious injury. Not to mention the most dangerous machine, the car, and its accidents that exist.”
