With the popularity of the previous lesson on visiting the doc (a lot more popular than actually visiting the doc), we decided that a health-laden week was in order.

快来，有人晕倒了!
kuài lái ，yǒu rén yūndǎo le !
Come here quick! Someone has fainted!
赶快把他放平，有没有包？垫在他的腿底下。这样可以帮助静脉血回流。对，就像这样。 你们谁有手机，赶快叫救护车。千万别摇他，会很危险的!
gǎnkuài bǎ tā fàngpíng ，yǒuméiyǒu bāo ？diàn zài tā de tuǐ dǐxià 。zhèyàng kěyǐ bāngzhù jìngmài xuè huíliú 。duì ，jiùxiàng zhèyàng 。 nǐmen shéi yǒu shǒujī ，gǎnkuài jiào jiùhùchē 。qiānwàn bié yáo tā ，huì hěn wēixiǎn de !
Lay him down flat immediately. Does anyone have a bag? Put it under his legs for the blood to circulate upwards. Yes, like this. Does anyone have a mobile phone? Call an ambulance right away! Make sure you don’t shake him. That’s very dangerous!
啊呀，他的呼吸好像很困难。怎么办呀？
āyā ，tā de hūxī hǎoxiàng hěn kùnnan 。zěnme bàn yā ？
Oh no! He’s having trouble breathing. What should we do?
我从背后抱他，把他的头和身体稍稍抬高一点。这样利于呼吸。他现在是休克伴昏迷，你们赶快把窗全打开，大家不要挤在这里。要保持通风。他怎么会突然晕倒了？
wǒ cóng bèihòu bào tā ，bǎ tā de tóu hé shēntǐ shāoshāo táigāo yīdiǎn 。zhèyàng lìyú hūxī 。tā xiànzài shì xiūkè bàn hūnmí ，nǐmen gǎnkuài bǎ chuāng quán dǎkāi ，dàjiā bùyào jǐ zài zhèlǐ 。yào bǎochí tōngfēng 。tā zěnme huì tūrán yūndǎo le ？
I’ll hold him from behind to keep his head and body slightly elevated. This helps breathing. He is in shock now. Open all the windows now. Don’t gather around him. We need to keep the air circulation. How did he faint all of a sudden?
