Contents

Segment 1 The intertitles stress that every wound, no matter how small, should receive proper care. A dramatisation follows of a man who has cut his finger being treated by another man using first aid materials such as iodine, cotton wool and gauze. The intertitles warn that infection from a wound may spread through the lymphatic system causing blood poisoning. An animation of the lymphatic system in the arm is seen, and a possible spread of infection starting in the index finger is shown. Time start: 00:00:00:00 Time end: 00:04:22:19 Length: 00:04:22:19
