injured. boo =(

discarded bandages after miraculous recovery.

theory exam I studied till 2 in the morning for.


We were supposed to take photos of arm slings and elevated slings and cpr dummies! But alas we kept being distracted by DR. ABC.

We did bandaging with triangular bandages! I don't like reef knots. They kept not opening. Bandage victim count thus far: 5. None lost blood circulation and required amputation. They were comfortable, could move their fingers and did not experience numbness. I rock. =)


Our dummy was called Little Anne. Whenever we checked for response, we'd bang its shoulders and yell 'SIR! SIR! Are you okay? Can you respond to me?' Little Anne was anatomically... wrong. (See above. Chest area. Right.) Makes me wonder why not name it Arthur and save everyone the trouble.

Then we'd pinch it and rub the sternum. (Try rubbing your sternum - hard bone in the middle of your chest - with your knuckles. It hurts, surprisingly.) CPR involves pinching noses, lifting chins, and pumping hearts. Violent process. The test dummy tasted of rubber. =(

recovery position. to be used on drunk people.

We were tested on CPR and two types of bandaging. We were not tested on lifting, choking, recovery positions, and what to do in a fire. Also, the many other types of bandages. Syn Dee wants to know how we are supposed to move casualty away from danger. Jason asks how we are going to save people with such limited knowledge. I have no idea.

Ah well. I am now a certified First Aider. I am qualified to save people.

(HAHA)

I passed! =D
