edit- Invite more people to contribute
- Expand First Aid/Appendix B: Behind the Scenes
- Use these templates to spruce up the book
- Use development stages to indicate which modules need expansion
- Please keep Sources up-to-date. If you use a source, put it there.
- All pages for first aid (i.e. not CPR or "concept" pages, but actual first aid content pages) need a common organization system:
- Introduction: (what it is, how it happens, what's going on physiologically)
- Recognition: Signs & Symptoms (including notes about how to differentiate it from other things with similar S&S)
- Treatment: (including treatment priorities and don'ts)
