You can take a nap to rest your body before war.

# data[].attributes.body
You decide to take a walk to clear you mind. As you’re walking you obsorb everything around you, the trees, the smells of the flowers, the sound of the birds, it’s very relaxing and a good way to wind down.

# data[].attributes.body
As you’re sitting there relaxing you start think about your wife. You pick up a pen and a piece of paper and start describing your experience so far. As you’re writing to Jenny you start to miss her a lot and one tear falls from your eye and gently lands on the paper.

During battle, soldiers and medics mostly ate small portions (6 ounces) of meat or “bully beef”, along with some vegetables. Maconchie’s meat stew and heard biscuits was a common meal; therefore, you helped by trying to gather more of each for everyone.

You begin to dig shelters for the other medics as well. Many soliders and medics would live in and/or use trenches to protect themselves during battle. Trenches are long, narrow ditches dug into the ground. Although they were muddy, uncomfortable, and could cause injuries, it enabled the soliders to get an hour of sleep, if any.

Lastly, you help the new medics gain knowledge about helpful methods. For instance, The Thomas Splint. This method required at least two, ideally three, people to apply it to a soldiers leg and was completed in a twelve-stop process. Although it might seem time consuming, this method later reduced the mortality rate associated with fractures from 80% to 20% in 1918.

Some examples of the supplies you help gather are solutions to aid in blood transfusions. For instance, dakin solution (an antiseptic solution used to irrigate wounds before closure), hydrochloride (used as a local anesthetic), and chloroform (used as a generic anesthetic and a sedative). The medics were also given some pain killers such as: sodium salicylate, elixir of opium or opii tinctura camphorata, and morphine sulfate.

In addition, you help educate the other medics by giving them tips for having to treat an infected wound. Professional medics were known to fill wounds with salt or iodide, until soldiers were able to access more stable treatment, to prevent further infection or harm.

You also help the newcomers by providing them with some of the medical equipment they will need to use during battle. These supplies would later help them treat wounds such as infections, trench foot, mustard gas burns, bullet wounds, and even emotional injuries like shell shock.

# data[].attributes.body
You help other medics by giving each their own personal weapon to carry, along with ammunition. This is to be used to protect themselves and the wounded or sick in their care.
