it was time to renew my first aid/CPR/AED certification so we had a training at the office. the blue guy is my dummy and i named him 'massimo'. the other guy is the instructor's dummy. we had fun at the training and actually learned a few important things. now, if i can only remember what i learned when there is a real emergency or i don't panic-freeze, i'd be able to save a life. in case of emergency during an actual emergency, call 9-1-1 :-)
@roth - sue, it changed from four years ago when i last renewed my certification. @slang - that's the only time i can have a 'massimo', get to give him a mouth to mouth then pound the hell out of his chest. he survived!
@jobesekama -beth, the one stark change is that these organizations who train people can no longer say "heimlich maneuver" in their training manuals, it's now 'abdominal thrust', otherwise they pay the heimlich guy big money. @patticake - thanks, patti. i try to get down on my knees, too, but only when the floor is not so dirty! :-)
