Shocking

Last week I went on an intensive Advanced Life Support course.

We were given scenarios and asked to demonstrate how to manage the situation, eg how would you resuscitate a pregnant drowning woman who had accidentally inhaled a peanut and was now also having an anaphylactic reaction. Great fun.

(The most important thing I learnt though is that people give you a lot more respect when you're holding a fully charged 5000 Volt defibrillator.)
