Review of my training for FAST

FAST is the first aid standby team sponsored by my company as one team of the occupational safety and health department.

In my company, no matter senior management or junior staff, there's many people having health problem; especially high blood pressure and heart disease. Weird right? Actually there's nothing to be surprised. Seeing their size, you already can guess. Besides that, many of them, especially the Ms, they smoked like nobody's business. They can smoke in the basement carpark, GM carpark, staircase, starbucks area @ my office and wherever they could. So of course, the chances of having heart disease are darn high. One sad thing, I wonder why the M ladies can bear with their husband smoking. Especially they have kids...I also wonder how they can bear with the smell when they kiss each other. If I were them, I will give a punch to my husband already. And in the first place, I would not choose a boyfriend who smoke. Even whenever my friend smoke, they will move away automatically.

Inhealing the 2nd hand smoke is 90% more dangerous than the smoker him/herself. The smoker take in 10%, the 90% is inhealed by the others. When I see girls smoke, I really despise them. Especially if they are my friends, or they are my darling's friends, I could not bear myself to be with them when they smoke. I had a bad experience recently whereby I join darling and his colleagues for a drink, the ladies colleagues started to smoke, I really hate that. I don't hate them, but I hate their act.

Back to my topic, it is really beneficial that I have join this team coz I could learn more about first aid and refresh my knowledge of CPR since I graduated from USM LG Corps, the team I'm always proud of.

I know what I am strong at among the newbies. My CPR knowledge is rooted to my mind already. Having it refresh every semester, how could I forget it? I am the trainer and examiner, how could I forget? Anyway, I'm newbie at treating wounds and fractures and bleeding, which I'm not trained before. I'm happy that I've learnt more new things in these 2 days :D

Then I started to wonder, should I go for the advance course? should I join the ambulance volunteer? Is it that what I wanted to do? To become first aider and get instructorship for that? Could I shine with that?

The interest of joining first aid activity started when I join the LG Corps, when I got CPR knowledge rooted in my mind. Is it what I wanted to be? Maybe I can consider for that :)
