Don't worry, I can help.

Random titbits of the day
(Note:Can save someone's life ok!)

First Aid on a choking patient

*Victim is holding on to his neck and has difficulty breathing, speaking and coughing*

You: *run to victim* Are you choking???
Victim: *nods vigorously*
You: *Pat his shoulder* Don't worry, I can help.

-you absolutely have to say those lines okay!-

From here, you go behind the victim and wrap your arms around his abdomen and give upward thrusts! Remember, UPWARD! Do not stop until victim stops choking or until the ambulance arrives.

disclaimer: author is repeating what she learnt at the course. forgive if any discrepancies in technique....

**********

After one and a half weeks of EARLY morning classes and rehearsals added on to 8 hour first aid courses plus rehearsals and theatre courses at night....I am officially falling sick. HAHA

Does not help that the training centres are all freaking blardy minus 10 degrees freezing cold! Three layers of clothing and still not enough.

And so the "falling sick over holidays" trend is back again. Have to try to prevent it. I will not allow myself to be ill over Chinese New Year!

Gonna go pop a few panadols and go work on choreography. It's a non stop cycle!

P.S. The Muscle War performance item is looking good dancers! Keep it up!
