Great job Dad! 😊

Here's the one for people.

Here's the one for pets.

They're both Android, but I'm sure Apple has them too. Just look for the ones by the Red Cross.

Health Tips:

• if your nose is bleeding, look down (not up) and pinch the soft part of the nose for 10-15 min.
• when boiling water for drinking use (esp baby formula) don't remove the water after it has just started to boil. wait for ~5 min of boiling time to ensure it kills as much bacteria as possible
• if you're a sexually active male/female, there are free HIV testing sites around metro manila or even in public health institutions.
• additionally if you're a sexually active female, consider getting a pap smear done yearly or as per the advice of your doctor, it can help you avoid cervical cancer
• have a smartphone? download the american red cross app

Really cool, thank you!

NINJA EDIT: Rats, looks like the British Red Cross app is region locked; can't install in the USA.

As an addendum to this tip, grab the Red Cross app - it's free and pretty well made:

App Store

Play Store

In my city it can take up to 5 minutes for a 911 operator to even answer. They’re really understaffed.

Editing to add this useful first aid app posted in the replies by u/Mikeologyy - download it now before there’s an emergency

I'm on Android and have the Red Cross app. It seems fine, but it's not focused on wilderness first aid, so it may not be as useful as something else out there for this use case. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cube.arc.fa

Great advice... I'm going to jump on your comment to reccomend everyone download the first aid app from the Red Cross. It has all you need to know and means you don't have to memorize what to do.

The Red Cross First Aid app.

It has preparatory and emergency information for common first aid emergencies (i.e. asthma attack, burns, stroke). It will also give you step by step instructions on what to do in a certain medical emergency and gives locations of nearby hospitals. It's an app you hope you'll never have to use, but you could seriously end up saving someone's life by having it.

This is the American version.

You might need to get the US version.

I have this problem too. What the heck are the requirements?
