Do you know first aid, and could you use it if you had to? Sometimes you dont know till you do.
Ive been taught first aid many times over the years and kepp my qualification upto date as part of my leader training. Ive used it a few times over the years on camps with burns, cuts, etc but today was the first time I have used it to deal with a situation in general public. I can honestly say the training did kick in and i was able to keep the casualty as safe as possible till ambulance crew arrived to take over. She regained consciousness and we quickly ruled out heart attack and stroke as possible issues, dealt with bleeding but had to put her into recovery position as she drifted on edge of consciousness.
Its only now a few hours later trying to process it all that I can put together what I was actually doing.
