🎬 We’ve seen it all. From paper towels stuffed into wounds to “walking it off” with a sprained ankle…
Here are 5 common first aid mistakes we see on set and why you should avoid them 👇
1️⃣ “I didn’t want to bother anyone.”
☠️ Waiting can make things worse. We’re here for the small stuff too.
2️⃣ Gaffer tape ≠ wound care
🩹 It’s magical… but not sterile. Please come to us for proper dressings.
3️⃣ “I took someone else’s meds.”
💊 This one’s scary. Never share prescription meds, even if it “worked for them.”
4️⃣ Ignoring symptoms because it’s the last day of shoot
🧠 If you’re dizzy, short of breath, or in pain, tell someone. We’d rather miss after work drinks than miss something serious.
5️⃣ Not telling us about pre-existing conditions
🫀 Knowing if you’re epileptic, have anaphylaxis, or prone to fainting helps us help you faster.
📣 The takeaway: First aid isn’t just for emergencies.
It’s about early intervention, reassurance, and keeping you on your feet safely.
