First Aid

I passed my First Aid Exam.

I am very excited and now slightly less ill informed about what to do in case of injury.

Hurrah!

First Aid

My company, in an unexpected gesture for a MNC, asked for volunteers to do a St John's Ambulance First Aid Course a little while ago.

I signed up because as well as being very handsome and intelligent, I also

a) do a lot of sports outdoors  where people might get broken  limbs etc or hypothermia

b) think it's  a good idea to be able to help, were someone to start choking, going blue etc etc in front of you.

As an added bonus I got to go learn during company time every thursday in Feb. Result!

But now the fun and games are over and I have my exam tomorrow. So I should be revising.

But before I go, top 3 things I have learnt on the course are:

1) Keep severed body parts at 4 degrees C for maximum preservation (& don't let them come into direct contact with the ice)

2) Blood is made up of 55% plasma

3) Automated external defibrillators are very cool.
