Okay, so today I decided to get my hands dirty with something totally new – becoming a first aid trainer in the Undercity. Sounds kinda cool, right? Well, the journey was… interesting, to say the least.
Getting Started
First things first, I had to figure out where to even begin. I mean, “first aid trainer Undercity” isn’t exactly something you find a ton of courses for. So, I started digging around online. I looked at some community message boards.
The Grindy Part
Honestly, most of the day was spent just gathering information. I:
- Read through a bunch of old forum posts. Some were helpful, most were just people arguing.
- Tried to find some kind of official Undercity health and safety guidelines. No luck there.
- Watched a few videos of, like, general first aid stuff. Bandaging, CPR, the usual.
- Ask my friend, he said:”I’ve heard whispers of groups operating down there”.
It felt like I was going in circles for a while. It’s all pretty unofficial, which makes sense, I guess. I kept asking and found a contact who might know a contact.
Making Connections (Finally!)
After a few hours, and i send message and finally, I got a lead! A contact put me in touch with someone who supposedly runs informal training sessions in the Undercity. We’re talking back alleys, dimmed lights, the whole deal.
I arranged a meeting – super hush-hush, of course. We met in this dingy little room, and this grizzled old medic started showing me the ropes. It wasn’t pretty, but it was real. He taught me some basic stuff.
The “Training”
This wasn’t your typical classroom setting. We practiced bandaging on each other, used whatever supplies were lying around. We talked about dealing with injuries you’d likely see down there – cuts, burns, the occasional… well, let’s just say things get rough in the Undercity.
The “trainer” (I never actually got his name) emphasized improvisation. You gotta use what you have, be resourceful, and think fast.
What I Learned
By the end of the day, my head was spinning. I definitely didn’t feel like a certified expert, but I learned a lot. Here’s the thing that is important.
- Being prepared is everything.
- Resourcefulness is important.
- Staying calm when situation is bad.
It’s a start, anyway. I’m gonna keep practicing and learning. Maybe I’ll even start my own little training sessions down there someday. Who knows? It’s definitely an adventure.
