First Aid

[conzer16]

How good is your First Aid knowledge?

 

Do you have any First Aid skills? Did you have to attend a compulsory course for work etc?

 

Do you have an interest in it? Have you saved anyone from being seriously injured/hurt/death etc?

 

Would you like to do a course in First Aid?

 

---------

 

I have no First Aid skills at all. I have never attended a course, but feel that I should. I mean what could I do if somone had a sever asthma attack, heart attack etc? Not a whole lot except call for the ambulance.

 

Post your own experiences or aspirations here...

I don't know much about First Aid. Moral of the story, don't get in a bad situation when in my company alone as, chances are, you won't make it.

[Zell]

I know DRABC, which is danger, response, airways, breathing, circulation, and I know the recovery position but that's about it.

[chairdriver]

I won the First Aid prize at my school cadet camp, but I'm actually really bad.

 

I know all the DRABC shiz though.

Forgive me for finding it hilarious that you are posting a thread about First Aid after having complimented my girlfriend.

 

You are forgiven...??

 

In fact, I was typing out this thread when you posted in MPT.

 

Forgive my ignorance, but I see no relevance between complimenting your gf and First Aid.

I know nothing, but would like to learn.

 

Last year, when I was working as a waiter, a woman choked on some chicken. None of the staff had no idea what to do, and where all staring at the poor woman, who was in agony. Would of had loved to be a hero, and do the heimlich manoeuvre, but sadly all I got do was shout something simillar to "Is there a Doctor in the house!".

 

Some job I will have in the future will no doubt offer first-aid training.

[Blackfox]

I can masta some skillz.

 

Give me 4 years and I'll be pro.

[Charlie]

I did a Junior First Aid course about 3 years ago and then last summer I did a first aid course as part of my lifeguard course. On the whole I think I know First Aid pretty well and hope I would be capable of helping someone in an emergency.

 

The procedures change so often though, I would like to do a refresher course. I bet CPR has changed from the 30/2 I was taught last year.

[Caris]

I done a First aid course in High School.

[Emasher]

i took one at scouts but i could use a refresher coarse

[Paj!]

We did it at school for a few days, but I can't remember much.

 

I just like run away if people have fits in public.

[Wesley]

I'm sure I won't need it.

[eel]

I've got a few years experience as a St. John Ambulance cadet so I hope I don't sound arrogant when i say my first-aid skillz are major ownage and what-not

 

But ya, they could always do with a quick refresher =/

[Shorty]

I did it at school and in the cadets but still I've forgotten most of it....

[Jimbob]

I did a course back in Scouts and at School, but could do with a refresher course to help me remember how to do some of the techniques again.

[Sparko]

I did a few courses while I was in school, mostly the basic stuff that Zell mentioned. It has been so long since then though that I forget most of it.

[Happenstance]

I took the basic first aid course a few weeks ago, of course ive forgotten most of it now. I recommend not to get hurt infront of me.

*yawns* trained life saver, got the bronze medallion and im working on a water merit right now

[Guest Stefkov]

I put my name down on a sheet and later I was given a certificate to say I can do First Aid.

 

I've been told my 'bear' hugs hurt. I could probably squeeze someone until they come back alive.

[EchoDesiato]

All I'm able to do is call an ambulance. So I'm not the best person to be with when you're in a life threatening situation.
