Where you hear it

usebandage.ogg plays as a bandage is applied. In Classic, First Aid was a secondary profession, and every warrior and rogue relied on it between pulls. The bandage channel breaks if you take damage, so players use it carefully. First Aid was later removed as a separate profession. The sound remains a strong memory for Classic melee players.

TriggerPlays while you channel a bandage from the First Aid profession.
