Great Britain War Office: Manual for the Royal Army Medical Corps, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)
Description
Excerpt from Manual for the Royal Army Medical Corps, Vol. 1
The soldiers by whom this duty is performed are designated Stretcher Bearers, more briefly Bearers, and the unit of this organisation is called a Bearer Company. They are, moreover, charged with the attendance on the sick further to the rear: in sick convoys, hospital trains, &c., to stationary field hospitals or general hospitals on the lines of communication to the base.
4. The duties of bearers are in the first place to search for and tend the wounded, by administering to them water or stimulants, by arresting bleeding, by applying splints or a temporary dressing if the nature of the case so require, and by removing them, their arms and accoutrements, to a place of safety; and secondly, to pitch tents and hospital marquees, to cook for the wounded, and to find guards for the wagons on the line of march and in camp.
5. To enable the men of the Royal Army Medical Corps to undertake even the most elementary of these duties, either in hospitals or in the field, it follows as a matter of necessity that they must undergo a course of technical training.
6. This technical training will commence as soon as the recruit has gone through a short preliminary training in squad and company drill, and the modified course of musketry instruction prescribed by the King's Regulations.
7.The technical training will, as a general rule, occupy about three months.
2. Anatomical and Physiological Outlines.
8. The human body is made up of: -(1)the skeleton or bony framework with its joints; (2)the muscles, which make every movement; (3)the nervous system, which receives impressions and governs all these movements.
As every movement of the body causes waste, some means are required for nourishing it. The following are concerned in supplying such need, viz.: -
(4)The circulatory system-heart, blood, and blood vessels-to carry to different parts of the body nourishment and oxygen.(5) The respiratory system-lungs and air passages-to take in air and so give oxygen to the blood.(6) The digestive system-mouth, stomach and intestines, and certain glands-to take in and give to the system food and water.(7) The excretory system-kidneys, lungs, and skin-to extract from the blood the products of waste and to eliminate them.(8) The skin, enclosing the whole, for the protection of the body and the regulation of its heat.
The Bones, Joints, and Muscles.
9. The skeleton consists of a number of bones, some long, some short and irregular, held together by bands or ligaments to form joints, which allow of greater or less movement between them.
