Marie from Red Cross came helped us learn how we can provide first aid to those in need of it. Some of the things we covered were the recovery position, DRSABC, poisons, broken bones and bleeding noses. There was an organised surprise scenario as part of camp where we put these skills to the test. We had to quickly assess what had happened to Breanna's Dad (a fall from a tree), identify any dangers, call for help, deal to some wounds and deal with shock. We did pretty well and the patient was well looked after (Most of the time!).
My favorite part in the first aid course was at the end, where we had the scenarios. I was a patient in the first one (a bus crash) and a rescuer in the second one (a earthquake.) I would still feel really nervous if I came across a real accident, but I definitely know more about what to do because of the first aid course.

It was really fun we had certain scenarios like earth quakes or bus crashes we had to help with. One of us was the casuality and the other was the docter and we had to use slings and other medical epuipment. And then we would switch over it was really fun and this was my favorite part-kobe.
