Angry First Aid........my knees are killing me

Organised a 3 day first aid course for the staff at work which started yesterday.There were five of us for the first set of training including Ray from http://onelover-ray.blogspot.com/ and why I am I angry because I have the knees this morning of a .....(insert joke here) between putting people in the recovery position and the constant CPR pummeling (I was up and down off the floor like a ???? ...insert answer here) I thought I was going to need the recovery position and some CPR done on me.

I am now on my way to the course again, my knees are still killing me and my practice dummys name is Ray, I need to improve my slobber lock and you cannot revive somebody through CPR alone (Hollywood is full of shit) and did I mention my knees are killing me.

    LoL. I did a St Johns Ambulance first aid course last year and my Knees took a battering as well. By the end of the course I was hobbling around like a geriatric.

    I hope you and Ray will be very happy together.

    No one could put the dummy on a table ?
    What a way to start out your day.

    It's important to remember not to use tongues... it can impede the airway.

    Another thing you can immediately discern when someone is dead as a doornail stiff but can't officially say so, which can be frustrating, yet the difference is night and day, like a wax dummy when the life is gone. The spark of life makes a huge and noticeable difference.

    I make it a point to bring a cheap pair of kneepads for CPR days.

    Is it bad to only perform CPR on hot girls?

    My usual recovery position is standing with a cup of coffee in one hand and a fag in the other....works wonders for knee pains. That or laying down in bed...with or without someone jumping up and down on my chest...also good for knee pains.
    It´s true...you can´t revive someone using CPR alone....a stiff drink usually helps and quickly eases knee pains.
    I keep mentioning knee pains...????
    Cheers

    I actually did try this once, about 10 yrs ago seriuosly...I even though I could feel the life going out of her I kept going with the attempt until the ambulance arrived but she died...28yrs old....odd..it didn´t affect me at all..maybe cos I had done my best. It is well worth learning, even if you never have to use it or it fails.

    Day 2 is over, I'm half dead too now, not only are my knees killing me but my back as well, I had to wrap a bandage around the Lurker head, NO chance!!his head is far too fat, the instructor said tie two together, I said sod him, let him bleed to death! We also had to put Paul into the recovery position in a 4 man team, as we turned him over the dirty git farted and cleared the room!

    Maybe you can get some knee-pads?
    The small ads page of the Guardian should have them.

    Between the knees, and the slobbering, and the not being able to revive people only using CPR..well, I will just give up now. My test dummie is a dead man.
