goooood day =)

Okies i've decided to continue on with the ALS! Hehe i think i'd made up my mind before posting that last post =P Rereading that post, it sounded quite selfish...avoiding responsibility bahhhhh >.< Like having done Advanced First Aid, more would be expected of me already should certain situations arise, so this just brings it up another notch =P But yeah, when i chose to do first aid at an advanced level (actually when i first joined st johns) i'd decided that this would be something i'd be willing to shoulder. There would already be psychological and emotional consequences attached if you have to perform CPR on someone, and there's the risk of having to watch the patient die in your hands of course. But i think the superintendant made such an important point about it in regards to ALS because they're magnified when you're qualified with ALS. You'll be expected to work with oxygen and analgesic gases and the defib, and hence there would be greater risks. For instance, u can perform 10mins CPR while you wait for an ambo and would be able to sustain life (though it would depend on a number of factors of course). But with ALS, you'd be expected to use the defib, and with just one button you could kill the patient instead of sustaining his/her life....that's wot i meant in my previous post in case it wasnt clear.

Anyways, had a great day today at uni =) hehe i brought along all this work i planned on doing, but EU stuff and catching up with friends took away all my time! was grrrrrreat though =) fell asleep in my 8am math lecture this morning >.< i must've slept on my hands cause on my way out, my friend asked me if i just woke up after seeing this circular red mark on my forehead =P was it that obvious??? hehe better get some stuff done now then!
