On behalf of the Tamil Nadu orthopaedic Association, we conducted a first-aid workshop in our hospital.

In this, the President of Tamil Nadu orthopaedic Association Dr. Ramesh Babu participated. The staff and Hospital workers of all the hospitals of Bhavani participated in this program.

In this workshop, many topics like-how to handle an emergency situation - how to treat an emergency patient - how to start CPR -how to continue CPR- were all explained step-by-step. Participants were taught the procedures with the help of a plastic model.

This is the first time such a workshop conducted in Bhavani. All those who participated in the workshop returned back with complete satisfaction.

In many accidents head injury plays a major role in the death of a patient. The brain is an organ that is protected inside the skull safely. From the brain all the commands are sent to all over the body to function properly. Vision, hearing, sensations, memory and all the activities are the functions of the brain only.

The brain has got three layers and fluid which is known as cerebral spinal fluid. These are for protection and for function. At the time of headinjury ,directly or indirectly brain gets damaged. There may be a blood clot inside the brain to compress it.

There may be swelling of the brain which can damage the brain tissues. There may be a direct injury to the brain and damage to brain tissue due to an accident. Because of these injuries we lose our lives. Sometimes even if life is preserved there may be some kind of loss of function like hemiplegia or loss of speech or vision. So, prevention is better than cure.

Don’t ride fast. A helmet is very much needed to prevent your brain damage.

Mentioning All these things we conducted a two-wheeler rally in Bhavani with the help of our Bhavani police department. With the cooperation of our Inspector Mr. Elango, SI Senthil and Traffic Inspector we conducted the rally very successfully.

In Bhavani, this rally came around all the streets and it created awareness among the people of Bhavani. For a long time, this will be in the memory of our people.
