What I learned during CPR training
Yesterday I had CPR training by the Red Cross. Now, while I found the class helpful (especially seeing as I forgot everything I learned three years ago), I found the instructional videos a little cheesy. Okay a lot cheesy.
Below are the notes I took on the videos:
Below are the notes I took on the videos:
- How to identify an emergency: always look for the dramatic music
- You should always send the annoying salesman to go and call 9-1-1
- When performing rescue breathing, soft-porn jazz will play
- Your chances of collapsing and needing emergency resuscitation are greatly increased if your name is "Ed" or "Harry"
- When giving CPR, the correct steps will always superimpose themselves on the screen
- Don't channel your anger when giving compressions to a victim -- you could break their ribs
- While it is illegal to discontinue CPR once you start providing it, you can stop if the situation becomes "unsafe" -- which includes fear of being sued

Nicely done.
Probably best to avoid trying to help at all lest one expose oneself to legal action.

We used to play a drinking game similar to your notes, except it was during ER. Man we always got drunk playing that game. One drink for every death, one drink for every time the music came on, etc...you get the point :-)
