Do you know CPR?

[Paul in Saudi]

Learned in the boy scouts, learned more in the army, now I take refresher classes each year with my company. In the trunk of my car I have The World's Scariest First Aid Kit and I am not afraid to use it. First aid is one of my hobbies.

I have two and a half saves, which is not bad for a civilian.

Not bad?

I consider that flat out awesome.

As I said earlier, for me thirty plus years and nothin'.

 

[Kennigit]

I did it in school but my certification for that was only a year or something

 

[downtown]

Yeah, I got certified a few years ago when I was a teacher, but I'm sure it's expired now. It's a good thing to know how to do, although I don't think I'd pay a hundred bucks to learn how to do it again.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

The certification expires, so if you are going to seek employment as a lifeguard or something you have to stay current. If I'm about to croak I'm only concerned that you know how to save me, not that you have a current card in your wallet that says that you can.

So.

Anyone going on a picnic with you, risks coming home all bandaged up?

As a boy, I used to love the smell of band-aids.

I did have certification, but it's expired. Incidentally, I was taught it three times (once at when I was a boy scout, then twice at my previous job), and during the second and third times, we were told to never even think about doing some things I'd been taught the previous time. I forget exactly what they were, but it's a bit worrying...

What if the stranger I save is the guy working on the doomsday virus?

Then that's one evil evil man who you should not be saving!

 

[Borachio]

No. But if you're keen on destroying all humanity, which you've repeatedly stated is your aim, then that kind of inverses the normal good/bad paradigm.

 

[bhavv]

Yes but I, but no, but you, you should not.

Its complicated. I have a doctors appointment in a couple of days and I will try to get stronger brain meds.

Very impressive. What happened with the half save?


I know CPR. No saves though. No half saves either.

edit: Isn't the info for CPR available online?

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Very impressive. What happened with the half save?

I assumed that meant two people involved in saving one...though I suppose the person being saved may have come out half dead.

Oh, i wasn't a big deal, a student collapsed with an epileptic fit in class. I put him in the "recovery position" ("puke position" in army-talk) and stayed with him till the ambulance came. Our school nurse said it only counted as half.
