    I hadn’t realised they had widened the criteria to anyone with first aid qualifications, when they started it they just had off duty paramedics and similar using it. It’s a good idea, but it would definitely be confronting if it happened.

      I’ve been in a few confronting first aid situations, I keep my head.

      Looks like its a UK app, it’s all about the NHS and UK quals.

        i hate doing life saving first aid, I get real shook up after

        once gave a 4 year old at a kids party a strong whack on the back as he was choking on a big gummy snake, he had blocked his windpipe. He was white, making no noise, making coughing movements, flailing a little. I jumped over chairs and tables to get to him when I saw what was happening. Other mothers at the party looked at me like i was an idiot.

        one time getting aid for a stabbing victim lying on the street, other times was just helping with car accident type things
