Today we are going to be trusting you to Doctor Cat!
He has a Meowsters Degree in Medicine, so you are in good hands... I mean paws!
- What do you do if you spill hot oil onto your hand?
- Quickly turn off the source of heat, then run the burned spot under barely cool water for 10 or so minutes. Then, wrap it with a bandage or clean cloth (a clean cotton shirt will work if you have nothing else). After that, depending on how bad it seems, apply burn cream to it if it is only red, or get yourself to a hospital if it is obviously more severe or has formed a blister.
- Safely put down the knife, then briefly wash the wound with water. Let it bleed for a few seconds, then apply gentle pressure onto the area with a bandage or a clean cloth. After a few minutes, lift the pressure and inspect if the bleeding has stopped, then proceed to apply a bandaid if it has. If you do not have a bandaid handy, wrap it with a bandage, clean cloth/rag, or maintain gentle pressure on it until the bleeding fully stops. If the cut is larger, apply pressure to it immediately post-cut, and lift pressure after five or so minutes, then wrap it up and get yourself to a hospital.
- If you have ice, drop some into a clean rag and apply it to the bruised area. Hold it there for 5-10 minutes, then 10 minutes off, and then you can put it back on for 5-10 minutes. Depending on how red your skin gets, ensure you are not pushing the 'timer' as you can make it worse by over-icing the area. If you don't have ice handy, a cloth wet with cool or cold water will suffice but will need to be refreshed (keep in mind this isn't as effective as ice, but we make do). If the skin is broken anywhere on the bruise, apply a bandaid or bandage over it, depending on the size.

Charges Information
There are multiple felonies and charges that will default the application status as DENIED regardless of references, letters of recommendation, or programs passed**:
There are multiple felonies and charges that will set the application status as DENIED unless the applicant successfully underwent SADOC's Felon Reformation Program:
Additionally, Firearm Possession Charges are categorized as such:
Felonies that are outside the charges mentioned above have a wait time of 6 months*.
Other Misdemeanors that are outside the charges mentioned above have a wait time of 2 months*
NOTE* The applicant may go through the San Andreas Department of Correction's Felon Reformation Program before applying and provide a reference for the recruitment personnel to review in order to shorten the wait time. Undergoing the Felon Reformation Program does not guarantee leniency, as applicants' criminal records are considered on a case-by-case basis, and on the other hand, we may be more lenient towards one-time offenders than repeat ones.
Additionally, employment with a clean track record within more lenient government-funded organizations, agencies, companies, and firms may contribute positively toward each individual case.
NOTE** Only in cases of charges that are 12 months or older, special reviews may take place for one-time offenders for charges that are otherwise entirely eliminatory. These reviews would require substantial feedback from another government-funded employer.
