Once upon a time, in a cozy little home nestled in the heart of the city, lived the Thompson family. Like many families, they cherished their moments together, from the laughter-filled dinners to the quiet evenings spent reading. But one evening, their peaceful routine was interrupted when young Mia, the youngest of the Thompsons, fell from her bike and scraped her knee badly.

Panic set in as the family scrambled to remember the right first aid steps. Was it to clean the wound first or apply the bandage? Should they use ice or warm water? In the midst of the confusion, Mr. Thompson remembered a gift from a friend - The Merck Manual Home Health Handbook, Third Edition. He quickly grabbed it from the shelf and flipped to the first aid section.
