First Aid Training

There was so much information to cram in during the first day of training today, including chest compression, recovery position, resusitation, bandaging, heimlich maneuver... etc. Tomorrow will be manual handling of people weighing up to 13 stone, and I think the use of the defribillator... it's information overload, but it's interesting stuff.

Post pic: A family of limbless mannequins, one of them called Arthur because, as the instructor told us, he only had 'alf a body... Ha ha, ha ha... I know, it was pretty lame, but we laughed anyway. The others are Arnie (woman) and Arnold, I think.

They are a bit creepy, especially when their face peels off! Wouldn't want to sleep in a room full of them.
