Fainting!
A faint is a brief loss of responsiveness caused by a temporary reduction of the blood flow to the brain. It may be a reaction to pain, exhaustion, lack of food or emotional stress. Fainting is also common after long periods of physical inactivity, such as standing or sitting still, especially in a warm atmosphere. This inactivity causes blood to pool in the legs, reducing the amount of blood reaching the brain. When a person faints, the pulse rate becomes very slow. However, the rate soon picks up and returns to normal. A casualty who has fainted usually makes a rapid and complete recovery. Do not advise a person who feels faint to sit on a chair with his head between his knees because if he faints he may fall and injure himself. If the casualty is a woman in the late stage of pregnancy, help her to lie down so that she is leaning towards her left side to prevent the pregnant uterus restricting blood flow back to her heart.
What To Do?
01.
When a casualty feels faint, advise him to lie down. Kneel down, raise his legs, supporting his ankles on your shoulders to improve blood flow to the brain. Watch his face for signs of recovery.
02.
Make sure that the casualty has plenty of fresh air; ask someone to open a window if you are indoors. In addition, ask any bystanders to stand clear.
03.
As the casualty recovers, reassure him and help him to sit up gradually. If he starts to feel faint again, advise him to lie down once again, and raise and support his legs until he recovers fully.
Putting On Disposable Gloves!
01.
Ideally wash your hands before putting on the gloves. Hold one glove by the top and pull it on. Do not touch the main part of the glove with your fingers.
02.
Pick up the second glove with gloved hand. With your fingers under the top edge, pull it onto your hand. Your gloved finger should not touch your skin.

Generic Medicines Vs Branded Medicines
Generic drugs are copies of brand-name drugs that have exactly the same dosage, intended use, effects, side effects, route of administration, risks, safety, and strength as the original drug. In other words, their pharmacological effects are exactly the same as those of their brand-name counterparts.
