Alas due to logistics (the class was in Michigan in Feb, not the best time for me in a motor home) MY CPR cert is expired.. And though I have not been called upon to do the physical portion. I have done the "Activeate the Emergency Respionse System" part a few times. both as an observer at the scene, and as the guy on the other end of the 9-1-1 phone call.
I have talked to people who... Well I'm the one who dialed 9-1-1 on his arrest, after he recovered, I've talked to others where I did not make the call bue a co-worker did. I have listened in, and coverd for, a co-worker when another co-worker stood up aqnd hollered THE BABY'S TURNING BLUE!!!" Sue was an EMT instructor and she took over the call. i took over her radio. I can tell you that baby crying was the sweetest sound I have ever heard.
YES. I do believe in CPR. I have a sister who has been the reipient and last I knew.. She was still representing clients (She is a lawyer).
I highly recommend everyone get training. I think they shoudl offer it in school.
Side note. NOT heart issues but during one of my training sessions the instructor faked qa collapse.. into my arms. I caught him and lowered him gently.. A bit later in Church we are prayng the lord's prayer, The Choir (I sing base/barratone) is standing side by side holding hands. Suddenly the woman to my left changed her grip.. I won't tell you what i was thinking as I dropped hands with the woman on the other side (My wife) and played catch once again, But I caughte her and got her safely to a seat.. (Postural Hypotension, (IF shew stands too quickly.. She can pass out) she recovered soon as she sat down. I have a bit of training beyond CPR. Sadly. I got most of it.. The hard way (I too have that problem, just not as bad as she).
