'MMM - so that you’ll know what to do...' .

Do you really know how to use the mandatory drugs in your medical kit?

Do you know how and where to correctly give an injection?

Do you know how to best prepare a patient with broken ribs or bones for evacuation?

Do you know how to assess and monitor your crewmember that has been struck by the boom?

Not sure?
