title: Medical aid at the roadside.
abstract: Aid given to patients at the roadside may be divided into three categories, namely first aid, ambulance aid and medical aid. The type of assistance actually rendered by the doctor will depend on how well he is equipped. The main situations with which a doctor may be faced, are dealt with under these three headings.
