Martin Robinson is a famous doctor who has a lot of experience dealing with teenagers. His new book, What Would You Do If…? came out last month. It gives advice on what to do in lots of different situations. Here are two pages from the book.

Accidents Question 1: What would you do if you cut yourself by a accident? Doctor: You should cover the cut with a clean cloth and press it hard. If it’s a deep cut, you should see a doctor. Question 2: If my grandmother fell downstairs, and wasn’t moving, I’d hurry to call the hospital first. Is that correct? Doctor: Yes, speed is very important. Get the medical help first, then make her comfortable and stay with her.

Accidents Question 3: What would you do if you burned yourself by a accident? Doctor: Well, first find out how bad it is. Then put the burned area under cold running water. Question 4: What would you do if you injured your knee while running? Doctor: If I felt some pain, I’d stop exercising. And if it hurt for more than a few days, I’d see a doctor.

Problems Problem 1: A friend offers you cigarettes at a party. Advice: Of course you should refuse! If I were you, I’d also talk to your friend about the dangers of smoking Problem 2: Children often think medicine is candy and eat it. Advice: You must always hide medicine from children, and you should tell children to ask their parents before they eat “candy” they find.

Problems Problem 3: An “internet friend” has asked if you could meet. Advice: You should tell your parents about it, agree to meet in a public place, and you shouldn’t go alone. Problem 4: You get pimples when you are nervous. Advice: You should drink lots of water and ask your doctor for advice.

Discuss these questions with a partner. Why is cold running water helpful to treat a small burn? Why would it be dangerous to meet an “internet friend” alone? Burns are the result of an excess of heart; and the skin continues to burn, so cold water will stop the burning. Because it’s always better to have more than one person present if you feel you might be in danger. A criminal is less likely to commit a crime in public or when there are several people around.

Find one accident or problem in the reading that you have experienced. Write it here, and then check the box if you followed the advice given. ____________________________________________
