First Aid

Monday/Tuesday did standard first aid and CPR-C at St John Ambulance. It was okay, learned stuff, but was mostly just lectures and some practical, not much discussion or interaction. The class size was way too big. A far preferred the rocky mountain adventure medicine course a took a couple years ago.

What I did discover is that sometimes I can stand the sight of blood and gore, but sometimes I most definitely can not. During the amputation video, I was almost having my own medical emergency, head on the desk while sweating and shivering and completely blurred vision, I'm really amazed I had such an extreme reaction. Normally I just feel quite uncomfortable but am physically fine.
