The Invention Of Earle Dickinson's Band-AID

Earle Dickinson's Band-AID

Scratches, cuts, and scrapes can all be a thing in the past with the Band-AID. Earle Dickinson, the man who invented the Band-AID, made this invention for people in need. He originally created it for his wife when one day he came home and saw she was bleeding. Originally, Band-AIDS were made for people close to the heart but that quickly changed as time went on. Try to picture the world without any Band-AIDS. Our world would be so much more different and think of how many people wounded wouldn't be treated and the hospitals would be chaos with so many people bleeding badly. Think of your loved ones who get a small cut, but since we don't have Band-AIDS the bleeding would become worse and worse.

I've always hated seeing it and it just gave me the chills. It grossed me out so much and especially when I was bleeding. I used to look away from my cut the whole time until a Band-AID was on my cut. I'm just like everyone else who gets cuts and bleeds when they play sports. Imagine how many people would get hurt without Band-AIDS whenever playing a sport. It would be a bloody mess and it would gross me out. Band-AIDS have stopped me and so many others from bleeding
