A man has used his iPhone to help treat wounds he received in the earth quake that hit Haiti.  Dan Woolley used a first aid application on his iPhone to treat his wounds and the alarm to keep him awake to prevent shock.

The iPhone first-aid app Woolley had downloaded showed him how to fashion a bandage and tourniquet for his leg and to stop the bleeding from his head wound. The app also warned him not to fall asleep if he felt he was going into shock, so he set his iPhone’s alarm clock to go off every 20 minutes.

Woolley was trapped for 65 hours in an elevator shaft following the Haiti earthquake. He was in Haiti working for Compassion International, a mission organisation, making a film about the impact of poverty on the people of Haiti.
