"Forty years ago every eight year old boy in America had experienced it multiple times."

Triage was done by those who were still standing and had something to wrap a body part in. Never ever was a call to be made on a parent rescue. Even the local pharmacist was sworn to confidentiality. How to stop bleeding? Hiding bruises? Loose teeth? Head gashes? Burns? The right bandages for a butterfly closure?

All learned before the age of ten!

I got blood poisoning from having a stick puncture my hand when I was seven while I was out running around in the woods when I was supposed to be doing something else. I didn't want to tell my mother what I had done, so I just put a band-aid on it. Two days later when I had a severe fever and my hand felt like it would fall off I told the truth.
