| first aid and CPR does save lives
they teach you what to do when some one has a stroke / heart attach/ choking.
to learn the signs of them and to treat them
also they will teach you what to do when some one is hurt broken arm or leg
how to stop bleeding
how to treat a cut.
what to do for a burn (for bad burns what is done in the first few Min's determines if they person will live)
now the reason they ask you to keep it up to date ( usually every three years or less)
is they are always looking for better ways to do things.
I know how they do CPR is very different now than it was 10 years ago
now they even have a course on how to work the portable
defibrillators that plains and some schools and other places now have.
so knowing that could save a life
and for family and friends if someone hurts themselves you would know what to do.
my Niece fell and I had first aid so I know enough not to move her I kept her very still
knowing this stopped her from ending up in a wheel chair.
so yes it is worth it  |
