Some were stupid due to fears and past experiences of shock, while others were more complex and geared toward specialized situations. Yet, all of them were answered effectively with the use of mannequins, other willing victims (class participants) or illustrations on the board. \n\nThe course involved tons of repetitive hands on instruction to the point that I felt absolutely confident in taking the lead when pairing up to administer a life saving skill on a dummy, or simply respond aloud to questions.\n\nI'm not only grateful for the instructor, Robert Hoey; aka Captain, but also for my awesomely accommodating classmates! Nobody acted disgusted or irritated by my overzealous need to get my concerns addressed, (not even my teen age daughter who attended the course with me and was late to a party as a result). That's how engaging and impressive the course was!!!\n\nMany of the skills we learned involving first aid were so Incredibly easy and time-saving that most of us sat there dumbfounded about the simplicity of them! Definitely nothing like the complex bs knots and splints that I tried to learn before. \n\nDespite my overall confidence in what I gained from this course, I have no hopes that someone will befall trauma or medical emergency, but if they do, I trust that the days of shock and bewilderment once crippling my ability to help will be a thing of the past. \n\n~ Linnea :)"^^ .
