We all passeddd!!!! All 5 of us are certified FIRST AIDERS now. Course today quite slacked. Afterall, we finished our syallabus and have only revision left to do. Lunch was at 1100h till 1300h. You know why?? Because we were smarter this time, volunteered to do CPR earlier, so as to have an earlier lunch! HehThe assessment wsa at 1400h. Actually I found the theory paper very tricky. They say its easy! Trying to cheat our feelings only. However, with quiet discussion with Winnie (heh heh), We managed to get 25/30. Evon got best in class! 28/30!! Szehong 27/30, Guohwee 23/30. Whole class passed anyway.
Bandaging was fine. But all of us found out that actually we did not learn alot of bandages. I tied a jaw bandage on Winnie. She tied bandage for wrist fracture on me. Evon got something we did not learn properly, bleeding at upper arm. In the end he tied it for the whole class to see and Evon got through.
Then for CPR, the wait was nerve wrecking. Thinking through the CPR procedure in your head is perfectly OK. BUT THE PROCESS IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT! I tried it the previous week and could not remember the procedure when doing it. Winnie went first followed by Guohwee, then 2 other women and it was my turn!! followed by Evon and Szehong.
My god. I went into the room and blanked out. Totally forgot what to do! Until... Mr Kalai said, "Area clear." All right! He made me do rescue breathing, then CPR. THEN!! He asked me what to do if casualty vomits. Thank god he is a nice guy. =D
