First Aid Skills

I guess it is pointless to say in such a risky occupation as a chemist is, that one needs to have an excellent first aid skills, and those needs to be updated regularly. Roughly 1 year ago, I faced the situation where I needed to give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for the first time in my life (outside the office) to alive person. And when it is someone close to you, things may get even harder in your head. Luckily, I renewed my first aid training a year before, so I knew exactly what I was doing, even though a life could not been saved. So just as a reminder, update your skills and knowledge, be proactive, like Andy did this week! It may save someone's life or someone other may save yours!
