So I'm a few days late on posting my experience for the challenging CPR course, get over it!
The best part about my 2 hour experience on Friday, the female instructor that made fun of herself. I mean she even cracked a few fat jokes about herself. It's great to see there are a few overweight people that can have a sense of humor about it.
The darkest part of the course was not the written part, but the part where I crushed the infant mannequin with my overpowering two-finger chest compressions. They say to break the ribs for less resistance, but I'm pretty sure I would have crushed the poor infant. My colleagues had a good laugh while I was apologizing for breaking the mannequin. Thinking back on it produces a chuckle or two from me.
I'm grateful for this experience though, because I learned a few things that could save a life, especially since my wife and I raise 5 kids. I also have this little card that says I'm certified for CPR in the Health professions and that means I can go forward and develop into a great dental hygienist.One step closer to making money and not spending it.
Mark out.
