Do You Need Some Asssshisshtance?: First Aid Training

Hypothetical question:

 If you were walking down a busy street, and the woman in front of you collapses, holding the left side of her chest, how would you respond? ...I feel like there are 3 different types of people. The people who run, the people who act, and the people who watch. Which one are you?

Annnnd on that note, we had our First Aid Training session yesterday. As the instructor threw out each serious scenario, it really got me thinking; what would I really do? It's easy to say you'd play hero and act fast, but it's so hard to say how we would react if the situation actually occurred.


P.S. I know these last couple posts have just been random thoughts but there hasn't been much to report, I start my actual carer support work this Saturday, so expect a better, more thorough post soon!

    Fall has come to MN, but it's raining like the tropics today. Looking forward to more posts!
