The term First Aid I think everyone will know, but an accident Simulant...
To give a practical training during first aid lessons, training of the army, police, ambulance-personal and so on we have a special organisation witch is called LOTUS.
LOTUS is an education to play a victim with wounds or acute illness.


For some pictures of practical trainings click on the picture.

WHAT IS A LOTUS DOING:
People who did the education to a LOTUS-victim are assisting during first-aid lessons, and all sorts of professional helpers.

WHAT IS INCLUDED:
- Design (thinking of a situation what leads to a wound)
- Staging (making a situation and the environment as realistic as possible)
- Make up (making a wound with all sorts of materials (without hurting yourself))
- Act (imitate the wounds with all the properties and complications)

WHAT TO DO TO BECOME A LOTUS:
- First Aid license
- An education of at least 2 years
- Know all the properties of wounds and illnesses and act them
- React in the right way to first-aid help and professional help
- You have to be a bit crazy
