it advised to have cash. do swedes still have that? i heard most danes havent touched a note in 5 years.
No, unless you over 80
so will the guide be updated? or will you use alternatives? batertokens?
Do Swedes not have ATMs?
Out of curiosity, where did you get that it has only been issued 5 times? Wikipedia shows 8 editions (including 2024) but doesn’t explicitly state if each edition was published more than once
So in a crisis or a war, the guide to stop bleeding is ‘apply pressure and call emergency services and wait’? If it’s a fucking crisis or war you might not be able to have that luxury buddy. Honestly doesn’t feel super helpful from what I’m seeing.
How to apply a simple pressure dressing is part of the basic medical training course, which is mandatory to get a driving licence in Germany.
Anything that such a dressing can’t stop does require professional help and will kill you, crisis or not.
This isn’t a dressing, it’s literally saying to push down on the wound and hold yourself there until paramedics arrive.
That’s the correct thing to do. If you neglect to do that and try to rush the person on to a car or something without proper pre-hospital care training, the person will just bleed out in the car. Whatever a pressure dressing won’t help, won’t be stopped without an operating room by a surgeon.
A person with a bleed will survive for much longer staying put with proper pressure over the wound than a person being moved about. Oftentimes, people in panic also forget to call for help. Most first aid preparation is about drilling people to stop panicking and actually call for those who can and know how to help. Crisis, War or not, you are, most likely, not a surgeon or a paramedic, and you don’t have a surgery room in your house. There’s that a pamphlet can correct in that case.
Look, while you’re home reading the book you’re not looting.
Good thing I’m sitting nice and cozy in the US…
