Learn English with this first aid English lesson

This year I have taken a first aid course after 15 years, because it’s so important to help others in an accident. And so much has changed in the past years. Unfortunately, most of the people are voyeurs in an accident. You can see it everyday in the news or live when you are driving with your car.Most of the people only look around, because they’re too afraid to help.I think a first aid course is so important, everybody should do one maybe all 2 years. And it should be paid from the goverment. Everybody needs help in an accident, everbody could help in that case. And the course isn’t expensive.

i haven’t comment, just :........first aid is very important for everybody.

@Jobee: They make you go to the CPR class again and let you repeat the whole certification process, so that you´re up-to-date.

I have a question about the lesson.

they make you renew your deal.what does the sentence mean in the dialogue?

please kind to answer.THX

I have never Been in a crisis situation,and I thank God for that, for I wouldn’t have known the standard procedures in such a case. First Aid assistance should be mandatory in schools or college.When a life is at risk is esencial to act without having to wait for the paramedics. Yes,if I were offered, i would take a class.

Scarlett O’Hara. Take her story, having a broken heart loving Ashley and being totally blind to a real man besides her  as her husband!

@Soul_Mate, yeah, there is an aid for broken heart, but it is a psychological aid

Once I was accompanying a group of children to an amusement park. One of the children was accidently hit by a car while playing, and his head started bleeding. I wasn’t able to help him because I didn’t have any first aid with me. I also didn’t know what to do. Luckily, there was a medical team in the amusement park, I went to them and I asked  them for help.
Unfortunately, in my country even if you got trained to use first aid and to perform CPR, it is not easy to be certified. That means you can’t help anyone because if you do, you’ll be in a real problem.

Having first aid kit in house could be the law, accordind to me, I case of problems without it it would be sthg like…

I do think that is very very important. One day I intend to do, because nobody knows what is coming next. It’s better to be prepared for whatever appear.

I definitely agree with Jeff knowing how to do it and actually doing it are different things. At course before we got driver licence ,in first aid lesson we’re taught how to help someone who is wounded or injured.I think it didnt work well because nobody tried what they knew.we’re only told what should we in that cases.though i dont approve of such kind of education pattern .

In fact we should get some classes which are making us certified about it.At last we gotto do smth in emergency situations

I have never taken a class to learn how to help people in a crisis. But this lesson makes me think about taken a first aid class. Fortunatelly, I have never been in a crisis situation. But if I had, I’ll help in other ways like calling 911 or asking for help for someone who is nearby. I am not prepared so I’m afraid to get the situation worst if I try to do the first aids.

  I’ve taken two classes of First Aid course. And I loved it. It was packed with very useful information. But, since it was intensive course and for only one day, the knowledge of providing the first aid should constantly be repeted. I have two books from different courses and from time to time review the procedure. Help should be done without delay, you should know step by step the routine and provide it quick, because the situation when someone is in danger all in blood already gives you shock and shock knocks out all your memory. So the steel nerves, self control and knowledge as though you do that, God forbid, every day.

I have been in a class which learnt us how to use first aid kit, I’ve learnt CPR, but I have never really done it.

I agree with Jeff, when you are in a situation of this kind, you might get confused and your mind may go blank, even if you had learnt what to do

I haven´t ended up in a situation yet where I had to use CPR on someone, fortunately. I haven´t even been in a first aid kit situation where I had to help someone. I took a CPR class once, though. And I agree that it´s important training, which in my case definitely has to be refreshed!

yeah its really improtant to know about this first add, all we have to do is to just handle the situation with patience and treat the injured person.

@soul_mate- yeah man i hope there should be one!! lol

I haven’t taken a CPR class before, but I think training is totally different from the a first aid situation. I guess, first thing we need is calming down and finding the situation what’s going on there. so we can do react according to that,,,... mabye,,,it’s i guess the best way to get access to 911 as soon as possible…while making them breathe

I have never taken anything like that.But I know a little ablout it what are gathered during daily life. Such as how to treat the situation that cut by knife, and so on.And I will buy some medicines  in case I need them.

yes, i would like to take a class to learn how to help the people in a crisis. I mean the life is so precious,  hope i can help when i ever end up in such situation.

is there first-aid for broken heart ?
