CPR dummies. Lest we worry at what they are.

For some reason the absurdness of these cpr models cracked me up today. I don't know why there were so many however I seized the moment. They look a bit bizarre.

I took a CPR course once. There was a women in the class that muckled on to the dummy so hard that the skin around her mouth was black and blue for a week. She went to the doctor. He told her to light up. Literally.

I was completely grossed out by putting my mouth anywhere except my head. ( if this was an emergency, my adrenaline kicks in and nothing bothers me.) I'm pretty good in an emergency.

One time there was a school bus accident. We heard through the EMS ( emergency medical system) that there were unknown injuries. We were immediately placed on alert waiting for God knows what would come through the door. The women I worked with at the time were almost hysterical. One of them in tears after learning where the accident was (about 40 miles away) screamed OMG my husband's cousin's sister's kids go there! She was a wreck. As it turned out it was a minor accident ( let's face it when a school bus is involved there are no minor accidents). However, No one was hurt. The kids barely felt it and no one required medical attention.
My director the next day commended me for my level headedness and my ability to keep calm in the eye of a potential crisis.
My supervisor said. Now if that had been a bus load of cats................

Good morning down under and Good evening to the north!
