Well done chief.

Well done @numbnuts you did well and fingers crossed given your neighbour a bit more time on earth

 

[Tin Pot]

Well done. I took a first aid course after Dragos experience, haven't had to use it thankfully. I wonder if I would actually remember much in the event.

Good for you @numbnuts.
I've done it a million times with a doll (and CPR) , and I just hope I remember it the day I need to do it for real.

Hope it goes well for your neighbour.

Well done @numbnuts.
Like many, I did the course, don't know if I'd remember anything now.
Time for a refresher me thinks, you never know when you could help save a life.

Well done. I used to work in hostels for street drinkers. Had to carry a mouth shield at all times in case CPR was required..... thankfully never had to use it.

Wow. Telegram for @Fnaar

2xkudos. One for making sure you have the knowledge, and one for stepping up when it was required.

Yeah, I did mine last century, and while it's still useful to win arguments about the correct response to a red-back spider bite, I wonder how much I actually retain.

Spoiler: Joycean stream of consciousness memory of 199x first aid course

Let's see, I remember the clumsy, expanded acronym DR-ABC.
Danger - are you and the casualty safe?
Response - sir, can you hear me?
then if no answer, check for
A - airways, clear?
B - breathing, present
C - is there a pulse?

I can still remember where to place your hand - just above the xiphoid process - and the pattern - 5 compressions to 1 breath. Also, never use a tourniquet unless you can't stop arterial bleed any other way - never for venom. Pressure bandage for venomous bites. Using a chip bag in an emergency to create a valve for a sucking chest wound.

Good on yer @numbnuts hope the fella makes it, I know what you mean about the 'autopilot' thing.

 

[Cuchilo]

Well done mate ! What ever happens next remember you did your best .
The few times i've had to do it the 999 operator tells you what method is the latest thinking .

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Well done, that man. I'm ashamed to say I'd be more ''What do I do now...aargh?

Haven't done a refresher course for quite a few years but strangely I still carry the mask in my work bag.

I still carry one in little first aid pack in my saddle bag!

Top man, @numbnuts !


(I was going to ask whether he was wearing a helmet, but it seems totally inappropriate. So I won't.)
