First Aid Course



I have reported for duty for nearly two months now and since then I have received numerous letters or invitations to attend symposiums, courses, trainings and even an MOU signing ceremony. I readily accepted them because some of these programmes might be useful in the near future, and today's course is definitely one of them. I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to blood so I had to look away whenever the doctor showed to the participants several slides of injuries on the screen. We practised on Heimlich maneuver, Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and learned how to tie up the bandages, among others. I learned a lot from this course but this is one kind of knowledge that I hope I don't have to put it on practise.
