sweetgem Clemenceau Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 It's been a while since my last "First Aid" class, but yes, CPR was also part of the training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've many times said that I should, but I never have. ETA - I did have some basic CPR instruction many, many moons ago in a first aid class, but never certified.

Amanda Crisp Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I've been an Industrial First Responder for about 22 years now. My most mentally-damaging call was not a CPR thing - some guy managed to get jalapeno oil on his hemorrhoids...... I still have nightmares...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EleanorsRigby Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Sneaks into the discussion... I am trained in CPR and child/infant CPR as well as abdominal thrusts (formerly know as the Heimlich maneuver) and first aid. Not completely mandatory for my current job but I got my certification when I was a nanny and now I work in a primary school so it helps to know things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind. The solution was to allow me into the men's-room where he was holed-up in a stall and enduring a LOT of pain. I sent someone to the lunchroom for bottles of milk from the machine; which I handed to him over the door and instructed him to "apply topically" (it helps to dissolve the capsaicin which causes the burn).I'm pretty sure he never ate pickled jalapenos as a snack again, or if he did - he washed his hands thoroughly before adjusting his bottom..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Mistwood Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 First Aid and CPR trained for humans, but I've never had to use the CPR part on a person. I have used it on many animals over the years and is part of my professional training... Except those 2 years as an aquarist with the octopuses (they have 3 hearts anyway so which one would I work on?). The best medicine practiced for those 2 years were injections in goldfish and anesthesia for an eel operation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I was trained in CPR 25 years ago so I'm not current. But, I do have a defibrillator! The last time I used it was to warm a slice of bologna between the paddles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda Huntress Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 So ... while looking on Google for thinking up the next Random Asked Question I found this: What’s your worst example of procrastination? The obvious answer would be to wait 7 years and pull this up the day before the NEXT forum software update and I just don't have that much patience .... I think I'll pass on that and ask (drum-roll) What is the most destructive emotion? Here is a handy list of emotions if you need help weighing your choices. However it leaves out my personal choice: Apathy. But then that may be more corrosive than destructive. Bonus points awarded for most constructive emotion, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talligurl Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Is procrastination an emotion? oh yeah, and Happy Birthday Rhonda Edited May 1, 2017 by Talligurl because I tend to be an airhead and leave out important things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover Jinx Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 For me it's always been jealousy because it leads to all the other emotions. Rhonda must have read our horoscope for today: Taurus May 1st, 2017 Your feelings are running so deep today that others could miss them entirely. Of course, your ability to create stability amidst chaos is a trait that everyone appreciates, but it comes at a personal cost. Although it might seem as if your head and heart are struggling for dominance now, there is no competition. Cooperation is necessary if you want to maximize your clarity. The sooner you integrate your emotional longings with your practical ideas, the sooner you can make your dreams come true. For me this means telling my RL friends and family I want SL virtual goods for my birthday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
