cause/impact/treatment:

- unconsciousness => unable to do anything => just wait or get help by a friend
- being stung by a bee/wasp/hornet => alergic reaction, swelling => cure by antiallergic
- falling from a great high => fracture, open fracture and even unconsciousness => splint (wood/scrapmetal + bandage)
- electrical shock (thunderbolt) => unconsciousness, burning => ?
- heatstroke (to much sun) => dizziness, unconsciousness =>
- burning (fire) and scald => sore ointment and cremes

- frostbite => severe hypothermia (slows you down) + pain => fire and painkillers
- influenza => cough, fever, headaches => penicillin, hot tea (cook water + herbs)
- sepsis => fever, hyperventilation, ague => dont know
impacts:
needs prevention
- infection through open wounds
- tetanus -> prevent with vaccination
- rabies -> prevent with vaccination
needs treatment in time
- unconsciousness
- open wounds => untreated open wounds could cause a sepsis
- fracture => movement and/or carrying two-handed
weapons is impossible
=> treated fracture: you will need a while to regain full mobility
- shock
needs rapid treatment
- bullet wound (heavily bleeding)
- alergic shock
- low pulse
- shallow breathing
- a sepsis could cause ague, fever, rapid heartbeat (i dont know how to cure)
- if a friend dies, there could be a 'last chance' where you can try to save him within time. therefore it is important, that you give him first aid
=> bleeding control (with rope/belt?!)
=> pain-fighting (morphine, painkillers)
=> sterilize wound (alcohol + bandage)
=> immobilization
- hyperventilation
side effects:
- pain causes visual deficites (like it does atm)
- headaches
treatment:
- medicine and other stuff will need some time to take effect
=> means, if you take painkiller, you are not instantly
painfree. it just takes a minute... or five.
- pain: painkillers AND/OR morphine
- hyperventilation: empty paper bag
- fracture: wood + bandage = splint
- low pulse: saline (= steril NaCl) and/or epinephrin
- shallow breathing: mouth to mouth / epinephrin
- infection: needs vaccination, otherwise you will need a good medicine to cure!
