On the other hand, I was with my mother when she had her stroke, and I guess the training gave me the ability to immediately diagnose the situation and the confidence to act, and act quickly.... I'm still surprised by how I dealt with it.... I didn't know I could.... I bet you went into shock when the adrenaline left you. |

Should be taught as a mandatory class to all older children before they leave school. Quite agree.... I done a lot of first aid training over the years and although I appreciate what they're trying to do, the one problem I always had (I did bring it up with my employers) was that you were taught about the entire subject in a 4 hour session. Everything from strokes, heart attacks, choking, bleeding, falls and it was so so much to take in..... I'm a first aider, taught by St Johns. First qualification was 3 days, 2 days every 3 years minimum thereafter, and I do annual 1 day refreshers |

Strangely, once the 999 was dialed which was pretty quickly they stay with you on the phone until paramedics arrive, they somehow know how to make you relaxed about the situation.... It felt kind of quite calm, everyone knows each others name etc.... 101% to the NHS.... |
