Survive the End Days
6. First aid kit
A small first aid kit is a must. It will help you clean up wounds and prevent deadly
infections from developing. Maybe, just maybe, you won’t have to fights off criminals during
the end times. But what if you happen to cut yourself? “It’s just a graze”, one might think to
himself. But it may not be just that.
It could lead to septicemia.
And I found this the hard way. My cousin Luke and used to hang out all the time in the
woods, learning to cut wood or practice foraging for food. However, in one of our
adventures, he grabbed to pick up a mushroom, but grazed himself in a piece of wood lying
around. He didn’t pay too much attention to that, especially since we hadn’t bring along a
First Aid kit.
But an abscess on his spine was soon caused by this particular innocuous wound. After a
few weeks, he suddenly started losing weight, but he enjoyed that, not knowing that this
was only the beginning of his ordeal. Soon thereafter, he went on to see a specialist, as he
accused sharp pain and then lack of mobility in his legs.
“I have no idea what’s happening with you”, the doctor told Luke. “We will have to run
some tests, but things aren’t looking good. We will have to move fast”.
By the time they figured out what was causing his condition, Luke became paralyzed
from his waist down. The rapidly developed tumor pressed against his spinal cord nerves
and there was nothing doctors could have done about it.
Needless to say how affected Luke’s kids were. Maria and Angela came to the hospital to
visit him every single day, until he was released. But it pained Luke to know that he had
become a burden to this family. “Now what am I going to do? I am the man of the house, or
at least I used to…”, and his voice begin narrowing, as when you do before bursting into
tears. But then quickly regained composure.
As you see, a perfectly healthy man was affected by what it seemed to be a simple
graze. In his situation, there are over 30,000 people annually. Doctors warn against sepsis,
as, each year, it kills more people than breast and bowel cancer together.
A few weeks ago, I kept a course in Savannah about the benefits of using a First Aid kit
in any medical related situation. I admit it, I was surprised by what people told me.
I have fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.
At last the champion’s wreath that is awarded for righteousness is
waiting for me. The Lord, who is the righteous judge, is going to give
it to me on that day. He’s giving it not only to me but also to all those
who have set their heart on waiting for his appearance.
(Timothy 4:7-8)
