Transferable Skills

I remember them singing 'Nellie The Elephant' on Casualty so it must be right.

If ever I am taken ill, I hope that Pippah is around as she appears to know more than most.

If you ever need CPR ..... that's a bit more than 'ill'

Fame at last!!

yes, at our work refresher we were told that you should use the BeeGees' song Staying alive to get the number of presses. The instructor said you could also use Another one bites the dust by Queen, as it has the same beat (?) but she would advice against singing it out loud as it might upset passes by to see you singing this while doing CPR.

"Staying Alive" does seem more appropriate.

Write your comments here...I think we all hope there will be someone there who knows what they are doing.  It's never too late to learn.  Me and exhusband fell off his horse, silly slow motion stuff and someone in authority said put him in my land roverr and I will drive him to hospital.  Luckily someone braver than me said NO get the ambulance.  He had 2 crushed vertebrae and would very likely have been paralysed by the land rover trip.. incentive for.me to learn!

That was supposed to read - opportunity for MORE people to do first aid courses you never know when you might need it.

My sister-in-law has taught all sorts of physically & mentally impaired kids over the years and so has done various first aid courses. Many years ago when my daughter was about 3, she had a sweet in her mouth and slipped resulting in the sweet starting to choke her. SiS was closest & took hold of our daughter & whacked her across her back ..... no sweet ...nothing! She got another whck across her back. The sweet shot across the room. As well as the first aid course, keeping a level head in a panic situtation saved the day & our daughter, who is now 27 

Couple of Aussie blokes sitting at a bar. In comes attractive lady who orders a drink and starts nibbling a few peanuts. One gets stuck in her throat and she starts to choke. One of the blokes hops off his bar stool, pulls down the lady's skirt and runs his tongue across the top of her buttocks. So shocked is she, that the offending peanut is spat across the room. Bloke resumes his place on the bar stool and his mate says " I've heard of the hind lick manouvre but I ain't never seen it done".

Hmmmmmm,  You  can  find  humour  in  the  strangest  places     !!
