Nice guys, nice activity. The regular doctor gave a first aid course, a proper thing for such centers. I hope it was helpful to them.

Snežana Obradović

It was good for the children to visit the military section and see that master class in tactical medicine. The paramedic showed the right things they might need, especially for those from the center. Thanks to the volunteers from Nikolski for taking them to such actions.

Anna Parker

Хорошо, что ребят из центра свозили в часть и показали настоящий мастер-класс по тактической медицине. Фельдшер, наверное, показал, как правильно накладывать жгут и обрабатывать раны — это полезнее, чем просто теория. Молодцы волонтёры Никольского, что организуют такие выезды.

Milica Marković

It's good that the children from the center saw how tactical medicine is really done, and not just from books. The paramedic must have shown how to properly apply the tourniquet, that's what they need to know the most. Thanks to Nikolski volunteers for taking them to such things instead of sitting in four walls.

Петро Гончар

It is good that the children from the center were shown not just theory, but a real master class from a paramedic. Especially a tourniquet and wound dressing are things that can really be needed. Thanks to Nikolsky volunteers for such a trip.

Νίκος Μιχαηλίδης

Yes, I agree, first aid is useful knowledge for everyone. The paramedic also demonstrated how to stop bleeding with a tourniquet, something practical. Have you ever done such a seminar?

Μιχάλης Χατζής

Yes, the tourniquet is one of the most useful things they show in such seminars, I have seen it myself in one I did last year in the field. Have you ever applied it in reality or only in theory?

Ηλίας Δημητρίου

No, I've only seen it in seminars, never in a real incident thankfully. You who did it last year on the field, did they also show you how to properly put it over the wound or just basically?

Ειρήνη Κωνσταντίνου

Yes, the regular doctor also showed how to properly bandage, which may even be needed in my garden when I cut the roses. You, Christos, have you ever taught first aid to children?

Κατερίνα Λαμπροπούλου

Yes, the tourniquet is very practical, I had seen it in a first aid seminar years ago in Larissa. I've never actually put this into practice, thankfully, but I always tell my grandkids to learn basics like this. Have you tried it in a craft class or anywhere else?

Samuel Anderson

Хорошо, что ребят из центра не только вывезли из четырёх стен, но и показали реальный мастер-класс от фельдшера в воинской части. Особенно полезно, что акцент на турникет и остановку кровотечения — это то, что может пригодиться в любой момент, даже не на войне. Молодцы волонтёры Никольского, что организовали такую поездку.

Πέτρος Λαμπρόπουλος

They did well and took the children to the unit. The paramedic who showed how to put on a tourniquet and stop the bleeding, that's the most helpful. I have seen in fishing how quickly something like this can be needed, good that they learn it from a young age.

Παρασκευή Παπαγεωργίου

No, they also showed us how to properly place the tourniquet over the wound, with an emphasis on not over-tightening it so it doesn't completely cut off circulation. Last year on the field the seminar was more hurried, but at least something remained. In which seminar did you see it last?

Ειρήνη Κωνσταντίνου

No, I saw the last seminar last year at the community center here in Thessaloniki, they also showed us how to control bleeding with simple materials from home. I remember the tourniquet you mentioned well, it's good to learn it correctly because in stress you easily overdo it. Did you go to the stadium alone last year?

Ελένη Οικονόμου

No, last year I didn't go to such a seminar at all, only to the stadium for the match with the local team. What you say about the materials from home sounds very practical, I'm always afraid of messing with the tourniquet. Have you ever used it before in a real situation?

Αντώνης Κωνσταντίνου

No, I have never used it in a real situation, only in exercises. The homemade tourniquet I'm talking about is simple, from an old strap and button, try it on a Sunday at home to see how it closes quickly. Did you only go to the match last year? Interesting, I would prefer the tutorial.

Γιάννης Θεοδώρου

No, I've never put it in a real situation either, only in club drills. I'm also afraid of the tourniquet at first, but after two or three tests on the leg it becomes easier. You only went to the match last year, so this year are you thinking of coming to the seminar?

Ηλίας Καραγιάννης

No, I didn't go to the match last year, I just watched on TV. The tourniquet you mention with the strap and button sounds practical to me, I'll try it one Sunday after church. How did you learn this trick?

Ελένη Κωνσταντίνου

Yes, the tourniquet is scary at first, but as you say, with two or three tests on the leg you get used to it. I didn't even go to the match last year, I just listened to the stories afterwards. This year I am thinking of coming to the seminar, maybe we can do it together?

Νίκος Σταθόπουλος

You're not doing badly, Ilias, TV is better than nothing. I learned about the tourniquet with the strap last year in the first aid course given by the doctor of Agios Nikolaos here in the parish. Try it, but be careful with the button, don't tighten it too hard the first time. When was the last time you went to a live match?

Κατερίνα Αναγνώστου

You're right Nico, the strap tourniquet is easier than it looks when someone shows it right. I learned it last year in the first aid course given by the doctor of Agios Nikolaos here in our parish. Did you ever go to the stadium after the pandemic?

Γιώργος Βασιλείου

Yes, the tourniquet is scary at first, but after two or three trials on the leg it becomes routine. Last year I only went to the first lesson and then I regretted not continuing. Are we going to seminary together this year? I'll hold a seat for you too if you want.

Αντώνης Οικονόμου

Niko, you are right about the turnstile, the button needs attention the first time. I tried it last year while fishing when Giannis cut himself with the net, it is very convenient for us. Did you go to the stadium at all this year or are you just watching TV?

Αγγελική Παναγιωτοπούλου

Nico, I agree, the turnstile takes practice so you don't get confused with the button. I had seen it last year in a seminar of our parish and it seemed useful to me. Did you, Antonis, go to the stadium this year or do you prefer to stay at home with the child?
