Dipping course
This page explains what behaviour to adopt in case of a dipping accident. You might ask "what is a dipping accident ?"... An accident taking place at the McDonald's when you are dipping your french fries into the ketchup or having your Chicken McNuggets with some curry sauce ?
Before a dipping course is to be determined:
* where is the next pressure chamber?
* where is the next on-duty physician?
* where is the next telephone? - if public telephone boxes, coins keep ready
Emergency call numbers in dipping accidents:
(...)
National warning head office 140
German is awake (int. alarm center) +49711/701070
Of course, the right word was "diving" and not dipping.
German is awake is a nice name for an emergency service. Must have been "Deutsche Wache" in the original text german text.
Some other excerpts:

* accident place
* accident point in time
* submerged depth

modification by opened windows) or dipping suit to the roof of the car.
If the physician informed a while ago arrived and if this is with the handling of
Deko-accident does not trust, then they ask to proceed it in accordance with the
guidelines of the medical commission up to the arrival of the rescue vehicle as
follows:
* infusion of a plasma bungee cord
* container-extending means
* pain fight, if necessary with opiaten
* high-dose Cortison
* stable left-sided storage
Please note the plasma bungee cord, either a particularly stupid mistranslation or a revolutionary new device that infuses blood to the bungee jumpers to give them a greater adrenaline push!
Must you the accident diver with the car to the pressure chamber bring or against to
the rescue vehicle drive to consider in such a way you:
* Stable left-sided storage

casualty if available oxygen breathe.
* The pilots of the informed helicopter to the next pressure chamber to
absolutely fly (flight altitude under 750m). Only in Graz, Munich and Zurich a
hyperable handling of the Verunfallten is possible for urge you.
