Another important lesson learned

[Dax_Brandy]

I have passed the Basic Life Support - CPR training given by Red Cross. and I have realized that this is a very important skill and lesson to be learned.

I have also completed those coarses and traing every six months.

Cool Dax!! Congrates!

Congrats on CPR training! I believe it is a great skill to learn as well - you can save a life just by knowing what we do. We had an article in our local paper this week about a gym instructor who saved a clients life by starting CPR when he collapsed in the gym, and kept it up unitl the ambulance crew arrived.

A few minutes can make all the difference between life and death.

Cheers

Hey Dax, you learn DRABC?

[draboo]

thats a good thing to know. i get a refresher every i think 2 yrs for cpr and first aid. thankfully havent had to use it yet.

Isn't there some kind of "good samaritan law" that governs attempting to save somebody in a life or death situation? Something about being guilty if you simply ignore those in need... Anyone familiar with this or did I dream it up?

[Dax_Brandy]

actually, we needed this training in order to get an ID for Intel Company. Intel is very strict regarding work safety and expect every supplier or employee is certified first aider.

martoch,

I think in some countries, they have laws or provisions that governs a person saving another. if you ignore the dying person, they will charge you. if you help but the person die, they will charge you.
